Risen is an Editor's
Pick at Smother Magazine. An excerpt:
I had the pleasure to see the Rockville, Maryland
natives the West End perform
up in Georgetown recently. The way the crowd was
worked was impressive to say the least. The West End
are all rockers that know that the word “rock”
has been bastardized, twisted, and mutilated to the
point where it encompasses practically anything. “Risen”
looks to change that, returning rock to its proper place
in the hallowed hallways of music. . . . [A]n impressive
debut EP.
And a few comments from listeners:
- It has the urgency and sound of rowdy electric
irish ballad story telling. -- Rob R.
- Your fans will love what The West End produced
in Risen!-- Leo and Kathy D.
