Nothing contradictory about "Contradictions"

(4 out of 5 stars)
""Contradictions" is a refreshing album and solid debut from Side F/X, a Washington, DC-based band. This self-produced album of original compositions will be hard to pigeonhole, though, for those hoping for a one-genre descriptor. It features straight-ahead rock tunes reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac in "Scattered" and "Never Forget," bluesy efforts such as "Her Escape," and then the moving and funky pop-tinged tribute to our troops - "My Hero."
What ties it all together is the soulful, seductive voice of vocalist and songwriter Kim Cameron, and first-rate backing instrumentals provided by the band. This is an album sure to appeal to anyone looking for a crisp, fresh sound featuring an up-and-coming singer, first-rate guitar work, and great percussive underpinnings.
Looking for a change from the Top 40? "Contradictions" is just the medicine for what ails you.
