Artist description Faster than a speeding ballet...More powerful than the Loco-motion...Able to leap small billings in a single bound...It's a Byrd! (when David Crosby was still sassy)...It's da plane, Boss! (Yes, yes, Tattoo)...It's Star Collector! Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia, these ex-lumberjacks leave no stone unturned in their quest for pure, adulterated, mod-influenced Black-Eyed Soul.

Press Reviews What the critics are saying: "A shining example of power-pop...real musical skill, verve and a broadintellectual perspective. The band also is very good live and brings anunderstanding of Mod-era excitement to their musical attack & a flair formelody evident from the CD's first track, Skyscraper." --Tom Harrison (The Province) - Apr.15/99 "Addictive melodies, seductive harmonies, well-played and really tightlywritten songs that are immediately accessible. The production is crisp andclear. Lots of songs that sound like singles. A really good CD." --Trace Ventura (CFOX) - Mar.99 Demo Model 256 has that..."greatest hits" feeling to it, and just doesn'tlet up over the course of its 12 songs...The big ringing chords, mod-ish riffs, and happy-boy harmonies make me smile, and every one of thesehooks succeeds in reeling me in. A smattering of the strongest tracks: Skyscraper, Turn You On, and my own favourite, Motorcycle. - Janis McKenzie & Christa Min (The Discorder) Oct. 1999 - J.J. Walker
