Greg Allen's Fringe Religion - Happiness is on The Way... Album Review 12/14/2018

"Happiness is on The Way" is the new upcoming album from Greg Allen's Fringe Religion. They are a Boston area based band that has been around now for five years. Greg Allen on guitar and vocals, Greg Steinbaugh on bass and vocals and Daley Jones is on drums and vocals.

 The album cover has an awesome painting of a 70's Las Vegas feel and retro vibe to it. The inside of the cd case has illustrations for each of the five tracks on the album as well witch is pretty neat.

 Now on to the music! I've listened to every track three times and it gets better and better each time. I instantly think of the 1970's and I hear the soul of bands like The Modern Lovers, The Cars, The New York Dolls and at times a bit of early Alice Cooper. It also has some 60's pop feel to it as well, especially in the song "Carny Love". My favorite song on the album is "She's Stoned", it's instantly to me a classic and just gives off that late night drive with your girl and turn up the radio sensation. "Joe The Tow Truck Driver" is straight forward rock n roll, has a Johnny Thunders vibe but sounds so fresh and current.

 The entire album just sounds fresh and current yet it feels like it could of been put out in 1977. Albums like this are what keeps Rock n Roll off life support. The production on it is fabulous. It's five tracks of pure rock n roll at it's finest and it leaves you wanting more! I suggest to everyone to pick up this album.
