One Minute Halo's recent EP, Places, is one of those hidden nuggets you come across while searching the internet for new and exciting Christian music. With the four song EP being their first release since 2005, OMH hopes to use a little to gain a lot; both in respect and fans. As you listen to OMH's lead Jeromy Moorehead blast your speakers with his likeable vocals (especially during head-banging favorite, "Far Too Long") you'd have to wonder why such talent hasn't been scooped up yet. Sure the sound is reminiscent of more popular bands in the genre and a lot of listeners may attempt to put these guys in a box and toss them aside, but the heart behind the band is evident. OMH pens honest, personal lyrics making it a one-two punch when the music and words collide beautifully. Unfortunately, at four songs, the album is over before it really begins. But I digress; there is nothing but good things coming from Places. With the EP showcasing both spectrums of the hard and soft of OMH, I can only anticipate a future full-length release with baited breath.
