Wow. We classic rock fans have waited for a long time for an album like this to come out. Sure, we love the idea of Stryper, Whitecross, Bloodgood and other 80's metal bands reforming, but to see that music has FINALLY come full circle after such a long wait sends chills down my spine.  Thankfully this is not another hardcore band trying to pull of the Southern Rock/Metal sound. These guys are genuine and what makes this album so great is Theive and Liars have transcended age and gender all in one recording.  I you love Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, REZ and other classic rock bands, I can promise you that you'll be shouting "Rock and roll is not Dead and neither is bold in your face lyrics". These statements resonates on every track of "When Dreams Become Reality". 

Many of the songs on the album stretch into 7 minutes long. They'll saturate your senses and take you on an epic journey of dreams and betrayal, loss and hope taking you on a journey musically and spiritually. If your not truely moved by the last song on the disc, just listen to it over and over and you'll find yourself forgetting about your problems and realizing that everything we have here on this earth is temporary.

This San Diego-based power trio have spent the last several years constructing a Zeppelin-meets-Floyd record that came through a painstaking transfer process. Using recording techniques from the late 60's and early 70's, the band tracked most of the record live, giving the songs a very natural and warm sound.

Kyle Rosa's thundering yet graceful drumming provided the necessary foundation for bassist Joey Bradford, whose playing solidifies the rhythm section with tasteful lines of expression. The aggressive and soulful guitar of Corey Edelmann completes the massive sound of this three-piece. Bradford's energetic and passionate vocals flow seamlessly between songs, showcasing his ability to sound natural whether screaming on "Betrayed by Blood" or pouring his heart out on "Alone". The attention to detail and thought put into every song is evident in the production, which included organ, a boys choir, and strings. The violinist's Stradivarius will move you on the ballad "Forgotten", while the harmonizing boys' chorus will haunt you on "The Author of Dreams". This 71 minute masterpiece is sure to instill hope in today's rock and roll scene; there is a revival coming, and the preachers are Thieves & Liars.
