Up until recently, the BellRays always seemed to be involved in an epic struggle between their inclinations toward R&B and garage rock, but singer Lisa Kekaula’s stint with MC5/DKT appears to have resolved the conflict. After all, the two impulses need not be opposing forces. Have A Little Faith, produced by BellRays bassist Robert Vennum, demonstrates that it’s definitely possible to kick out a loud and nasty style of rock ‘n’ roll with real soul power. It’ll be interesting to see whether Kekaula’s profile-raising collabos with Basement Jaxx and Crystal Method will help bring them to the next level.
