Details: Amazon.ca When the BellRays [sic] singer Lisa Kekaula made her tour de force guest appearance on the Basement Jaxx's Kish Kash, it led some to wonder why she even bothered to stay with her own band. Sounding closer to Aretha Franklin than Kathleen Hanna, Kekaula's soulful pipes often seemed at odds with the three-chord punk fury of the BellRays, but the aptly named Have A Little Faith offers salvation for this long-running LA-area quartet. The band doesn't abandon punk rock so much as balance the old roar with new sounds like the horn-driven soul of "Third Time's The Charm," the bluesy synthesizer of the title cut, and the moody Middle Eastern rhythms of "Lost Disciples ." Those yearning for the more in-your-face side of the band will get an earful from the terse "Shotgun" and several others. Proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks, this album will be a welcome double take for anyone who thought they knew the band and a soul-stirring introduction for new converts. --Tad Hendrickson Product Description The BellRays
