Chain Link Faith
Chain Link Faith is a Phoenix Arizona based band steeped in traditional classic
rock and roll style and influences. Formed in 1999, their no frills, working
man style of rock n roll is cliché free is a breath of fresh air in a sea of
image first bands trying to make a name for themselves.
”Chances” reminds me of the debut Southgang CD in terms of the twangy guitar
Vocalist Jimi Powers sounds at times like Sebastian Bach especially on “Chances”
and “Think Again”. Yet, on the lead track “Don’t Kick The Dog” Powers sounds
like Kevin DuBrow. Musically the band compares favorably with the
straight-ahead rock style of Tesla and Badlands. The guitars of Powers and Mike
Bolenbach are crisp and avoid utilizing unnecessary effects. The blues based
“Realize” features guitar playing that immediately catches your attention and
solos that have a meaningful place within the composition. “Bear No Cross” is a
pure 70’s rocker that closes the CD on an aggressive note.
Considering Chain Link Faith display no modern rock influences, the band is to
be commended for sticking to their guns and playing a style of music that would
draw an older audience. The Chain Link Faith CD is recommended listening to
fans of pure rock and roll. The album oozes with sweat and honest emotion, a
rarity in these times of pre-packaged disposable rock.
