Relief

First award and reviews!

Hey all!

Well in incredible news for us, we recently picked up 2nd place at the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards for Best International Rock! We had no idea that our music has spread so far over the ocean and then north some! We'll try to come out soon to the fair land of Canada to say thank you!

Also, here is the press review we got from a recent gig in Rhode Island.

The band was tight, professional, easy to deal with and above all one of the most original sounding bands I have heard in a decade!

A Dublin Ireland band that writes and plays songs with influences as if U2 where a brand new Band in 2008. Very melodic rock songs that everyone can appreciate and did. The crowd was totally into this Irish Band and new fans were captivated by Botham's very expressive delivery and the bands high quality musicianship!
I am looking forward to following Reliefs career and feel that they are on the brink of being the next band that re-writes rock and roll history!

It really makes you feel you are on track and all the hard work is starting to pay off in the right direction!

We'll keep you updated with any more developments in the Relief camp!

Peace
