Flight 27's self-titled album is a solid debut effort that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and knack for crafting catchy, radio-friendly rock songs. From the opening track "Take Me Away" to the closing ballad "Broken Dreams," the album is full of upbeat, anthemic choruses and soaring guitar solos that are sure to get stuck in your head.
The band's sound is heavily influenced by classic rock and pop, with nods to bands like Journey and Bon Jovi, but they manage to put their own spin on the genre with modern production techniques and subtle electronic elements. Lead singer John Smith's vocals are particularly impressive, with a range that can go from soulful crooning to powerful belting.
Standout tracks include the upbeat and danceable "Good Times," the emotional and introspective "Lost Without You," and the epic, arena-ready "Rise Above It All." Flight 27's debut album is a promising start for a band with a lot of potential, and fans of modern rock with a classic edge will definitely want to give it a listen.
