We have already examined three albums of the "Esquela" here in recent years here in recent years, starting with the debut album "The Owl Has Landed" from 2010, followed by "Are we Rolling " 2013 and the "Canis Majoris" issued in 2016. Lead singer and lead singer of this band are John 'Chico' Finn and Becca Frame, while Brian Shafer Leadgitarist is, Matt Woodin the second guitarist, Keith Christopher's bass player and Mike Ricciardi behind the drum set.

The permanent producer of the albums of 'Esquela' is the of its earlier work for Ryan Adams and Marshall Crenshaw known Eric 'Roscoe' Ambel who has now also signed again for that role in the new end of June outstanding album of the band "a sign From God "to which he also plays a role in acoustic and electric guitars on most songs from this album. These are a total of ten tracks that together account for 36 minutes of fun and smoothly in the hearing tune.

It all starts with the Rocksong "Nymby" (see video) which stands for 'not in my backyard', a situation where everyone agrees with something new such as a windmill, a large industrial pigsty or a core or power plant, as long as it only Not built in your back yard. Given the number of band members and the diversity of instruments, we can expect wide orchestrated songs on the album "A Sign From God". That also applies to the second a bit quieter song on the "Oradura" album over the French village of Oradour sur Glane that was completely destroyed by the Nazis in 1944 and it is also valid for the subsequent Rock songs "Rest of My Life" and it up Sturdy beats Rockende "First World Problems".

For their songs, 'Esquela' always pays a lot of attention to a catchy melody with co-tunable repetitive choruses in the lyrics. That will therefore not be a problem for the songs "The Good One (Give Ups)", and "Three Finger Joe", "What's Your Problem?" (See 2nd video) That's about racism and the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and "Two Stones" that are all sung by John 'Chico' Finn. Becca Frame takes the leadership as a singer of the two beautiful ballads "1861" and album valve "wait for me" based on a poem of the Russian soldier and war poet Konstantin Simonov and the only song is on the album "A sign from God" who was not written by John 'Chico' Finn.
