Similar Artists Sort of a mix between STP / Pearl Jam / Creed type vocals with some Foo Fighters, Kings X and Rush thrown in musically.

Artist History There have been various forms of our band through the years, but the band shown before you now was formed in February of 1996. We've played our small area quite a bit... to death, actually: Route 68, various places at Penn State, Kiebs Place, The Rimersburg Wildflower Festival 1996-1998, The University Inn, and The Fryburg Music Expo 1998. Today, we are totally focused on our original music. Our first CD was completed in early 1999 and we've already started working on our next CD. Look for it sometime in 2000!

Press Reviews ***XEMPLARY Music Reviews*** http://xemplary.apexhosting.com/xempreview.html "I'm very impressed with this fine alternative rock band. Flawless instrumentals, terrific vocals with a very appealing sound. 'Backwards Glance' is hard rocking with fantastic guitar work. Extra Medium is as good as any big name band out there, and particularly remind me of Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam, and I would love to see the band go on the road for a series of appearances. There are quite a lot of small to medium size clubs that would love to have such a talented band in concert there. 'Consequence' is also a very fine song, maybe even better than 'Backwards Glance.' They've really hooked me with their terrific music and this is another CD for my want list.
