Akin to Fire brought a different feel to the weekend at Sorry Charlie's Corner. They had a driving rock-and-roll backbone, but I also picked up hints of blues and folk in their music. It was a little more laid-back, with a sound I really enjoyed.
What was interesting to me was hearing that touch of folk without any acoustic guitars on stage. It was just a feeling I got from the music, mixed in with the blues influence and that steady rock drive. It gave their set a character of its own.
Their stage presence was relaxed, and the singer had a good voice that fit the music well. The whole band sounded good together, and they put on a really enjoyable show.
