“Mega rare Scottish melodic rock band releasing Cry Freedom album back in 1989 through Pulse Records, produced by and featuring Norman Barrett. They have a sound that closely resembles Spandau Ballet or Breathe especially on it’s debut album called Don’t Look Back, but now they explore more melodic rock paths, a great combination of melodic rock and new wave with some really impressive tunes reminds bands like Simple Minds, Tuesday Blue, Wet Wet, and Chris Irvine. Triumph has become an instant favourite of the Greenbelt Fringe festival. Triumph has a unique sound in British Christian music, combining searching and intelligent lyrics with a powerful beat.”
