"One More Down" is about not knowing what comes after we're done on earth. Everyone has his or her ideas of course, but we will only find out the truth of the matter when we die.
"One more down, some more to go. Then I'll know or I won't know. If all the songs I hear you sing are everything or anything." "One More Down", Restless Soul, The Proclaimers.
The Proclaimers have always been different from the norm in the world of pop music. In style and substance they have managed to separate themselves from the pack by their unique blend of acoustic music and punk in your face attitude. In North America, at least, they are a refreshing alternative to the generic sounds that predominate on rock and pop charts.
Restless Soul is no exception. If it's slightly more introspective than previous releases, that's only to be expected. When musicians who sing with passion and from the heart, as the Reid brothers do, change and grow as people so does their music. Restless Soul is pop music sung by adults for adults.
Restless Soul will hit the shelves of music stores in North America on September 6th and the Reid brothers will be hitting our shores two days later to start their North American tour in Hamilton, Ontario. The first part of their tour will see them travelling down the eastern seaboard, across the mid west in both Canada and the U. S., and ending up in the House of Blues in Los Angeles on October 11th. For a full listing of tour dates check out the gig section of their web site.
Look for an interview with one of the Reid brothers at this web site in the near future.

fantastic review, Gypsyman. i gotta admit, Restless Soul dissapointed me a bit. a tad too mid-paced, nothin really distguishable for the first few spins. "I'm Gone" is my favourite, i think, but im still havin a hard time comin to terms with the mood of the thing, which i felt was the opposite of the more intimate vibe you picked up, but thats how these things go. Maybe if Born Innocent hadn't blown the back a my head off last time around, i wouldn't have such weight with regards the expectations. either way, this is still a record i would put alongside Hit The Highway, until now the only other Procs record that dissapointed me.
