Adaline - Famous for Fire (2008)

"Adaline kept it in the family by working on" Famous for Fire" with her brother Tyson Beesley, whose guitar contributions fuel the more rock-oriented half of the album, including tunes like "Broken Glass", "State of Mind", and "Poor You". And as far as melodic rockers go, the pounding "Pioneering" would be a standout on anyone's record. But the most anomalous track is "Chemical Spill", an alienated, paranoid-android type of song featuring a skittish drum program and blunt guitar tone. And the result is Famous for Fire, a promising debut showcasing Adaline's talents." -Shawn Conner, THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT
