Freeways ‘Dark Sky Sanctuary’ (Dying Victims Productions)

Four years ago, Canadian hard rockers Freeways released their debut album ‘True Bearings’, a hugely impressive debut that fused the sound of classic hard rock from the second half of the ’70s with the verve of early NWoBHM with real authenticity.
