Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving further away from their early surf-punk pastiches, the band adopts a more mature and introspective approach heavily indebted to the Byrds and Flamin' Groovies. 'Endeavour to Persevere' highlights rich vocal harmonies and shimmering twelve-string guitar arrangements[cite: 1]. The album cemented their reputation as dedicated purveyors of authentic power pop and jangle rock.
