For a brief time in 2004 Breed 77 threatened to become one of the biggest bands in the UK, with their Latino-tinged rock becoming increasingly popular with the masses. But after the release of 'The River', which charted at number 39, everything went really quiet. Until now.
 
New single 'Alive' does nothing to appease fans who wanted a newer, fresher sound because, simply put, it doesn't carry one. It sounds like Breed 77 doing exactly what Breed 77 do best. But that doesn't mean it's a bad track, not by a long way. Managing again to fuse their Gibraltan influences into a distinctive modern metal sound, Breed 77 offer us a track that whilst lacking in originality, should at least appease those looking for a great riff and luscious melodies. Featuring a huge hook-laden chorus line, 'Alive' will undoubtedly become a huge sing-along at all future Breed 77 gigs.

The only remaining problem for the band now is regaining those fans they may have lost by disappearing so suddenly.
 
James Bunce - 7/10
