“Lyrically, Griffin stands tall, holding his heart in his hand proudly for the world to see, while sonically he falls somewhere between Jeff Buckley and Eskimo Joe – a nightmarish analogy on paper, but in theory, it works. Certainly the opening three numbers mirror different aspects of the aforementioned Perth trio – The Shutters sways about perfectly introducing Griffin’s trademark trumpet into the mix nice and early while A Distant Memory is a radio-ready slice of pop/rock that could slip effortlessly into general programming tomorrow, and I Started Saying It Too laces strings with a heartfelt lyric of longing.” Ben Preece, Time Off Magazine “It’s the full-colour, widescreen treatment for this debut album. People who have been watching the Brisbane band scene in the past few years are already aware of Griffin’s soulful voice. But this shows his songwriting coming into full bloom and an artist with the confidence to really stretch out musically.”Noel Mengel, The Courier Mail In October 2010, Liam Griffin launched the epic pop rock album BETWEEN THE COLOURS to critical acclaim and wide acceptance by audiences in Australia & internationally. Recorded by Stephen Bartlett and Liam Griffin, mixed by Andy Lawson (Eskimo Joe, Basement Birds), the album exhibits a self-producing artist exploring sonic soundscapes, wall-of-sound rock, retrospective blues, and the light-and-shade of love.
