One listen to Canadian rock group Red Umbrella’s debut on 7 Spin Music, Wishing For Boardwalk, and you realize that you’ve stumbled across that rare combination of smart lyrics and inspired, artistic music. From the opening strains of Storm Warning, and the driving Straight Jacket, to the anthemic Already Won and Home, among others, this project speaks to the breadth and depth of the Christian faith, while marrying the message to melodies that will be swirling around your brain for hours after you’ve turned off the music. But as complex as it may sound, Wishing For Boardwalk drives home the simple point that every human being has one thing in common — an unspoken longing that only God can fill.
