When Dreams Become Reality

"The seventies happened to be known as the "Me Decade", an era characterized by not only the good (Pittsburgh Steelers, Star Wars) and the not so good (disco, Donny & Marie) but its quality metal and hard rock scene as well. And that is where San Diego, California based Thieves & Liars comes in with the unique seventies influenced hard rock of its 2008 Facedown debut When Dreams Become Reality. Unique in the manner in which the group captures the musical spirit of the decade in question, creating a work drawing upon the influences of Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Kiss, Uriah Heep, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Resurrection Band and many more. Also, unique in how this talented power trio used recording techniques from the late 60's and early 70's (most of the record was tracked live) to create what it refers to as a "very natural and warm sound". As a matter of fact, When Dreams Become Reality sounds as if it were meant to be played on vinyl, not something you can say about most recordings these days."
