Artists are asked to send us a promo pack with band info along with the music that we review here at JFH Indies. The HarvestBloom promo photo shows four very friendly people, sitting around a kitchen table in a nice middle class kitchen, doing their Bible study and drinking warm beverages from sizable mugs. I am prepared for some nice happy folk-pop a la Caedmon's Call or Sara Groves. Not even close. HarvestBloom is a rock band out of Silver Spring, Maryland that brings to mind the likes of Brooke Barretsmith or even Fireflight. This six-track EP is loaded with strong musicianship, as well as good vocals from Anji Cornette and decent songwriting. In all, a good first effort.
