Alberta Cross are a blues and country-influenced roots rock act drawing their sound from the foundation built by the Band and Neil Young. The London group's main members and songwriters are bassist Terry Wolfers and vocalist/guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee, who as a child traveled with his singer/songwriter father. The full band includes John Alexander Ericson (organ) and Seb Sternberg (drums). The self-produced EP The Thief & the Heartbreaker was delivered through the prestigious U.K. label Fiction in May 2007, followed by Broken Side of Time in 2009. -- AMG

This ten track debut fumes testosterone and oozes hair-rock brute; epic guitar onslaughts, eerie vocals and firing cymbals, indeed it’s a rather spectacular effort by the wandering four.
There’s something of the Deep South preacher man in Stakee’s yearn ('City Walls'), though at times the incredibly melodic guitar ('The Thief and Heartbreaker') make bare the crew's British genesis. A somewhat dark album for dark times and tragic lullabies for the lonesome, ‘Broken Side of Time’ is an ode to the forefathers of dirty blues-rock.
