By Divine Right – Bless This Mess [ADB]

It was released in 1999 on Nettwerk records, and it had 13 songs. It cost me nothing. They are Canadian power-pop with a 70’s feel, like Sloan. They are a 4 piece band that have toured with such big bands like the Tragically Hip. BDR play excellent guitars with well written songs and catchy hooks. BDR strays away from the normal style of guitar playing, adding all sorts of effects…
