(2008) Now or Heaven, sophomore album.
"Ambuscade" a noun meaning ambush or a trap laid for an enemy.
This is LA power pop quintet, The Broken West. The band broke up after five years and two albums. Their second album is still worth a download. It had some great tracks which really make the most of the power pop genres with steady drum beats and striking guitar riffs. Yes, this band had great cohesion and they all played their parts wonderfully. The only piece lacking was powerful lyrics or innovation. Without either of those two they couldn't rise past a plateau, and eventually dissolved. As always, appreciate what was, don't lament what was not.
