I coincidentally found these guys just now while I was looking up another band called Advocate Seven to see what they were up to. Turns out, Advocate Seven merged with a couple guys from some other band and now they're called "Above Only". To me, it sounds like if Decyfer Down and Chris Daughtry had a baby together with a little southern flair. I found out they're also on tour with Decyfer Down currently. The singer has a GREAT voice and the music is above average. And don't look now, but they even have a guitar solo in their first song "Truth"

Update: I found out that they actually put out 2 EP's back in 2009 (self-titled) and 2010 (Orphan) that flew COMPLETELY under the radar! You can get them both on Amazon MP3 or Itunes (just for you Alldat ). Here's a video of their last single called Orphan (ignore the Michael Jackson clip at the beginning lol)

Yeah, I've heard of these guys and have a couple songs (including Orphan). I think only the drummer (from the ep's) is the only original member left. Good band

It sounds good, just not the style I like the most. I occasionally listen to both Daughtry and Decyfer Down - but not consistently. Thanks for sharing though

I have no idea!! I read on thier facebook that they're finishing up a new single called After We Have Gone. And they also claim to have upgraded their sound! I wonder what that could mean...
I actually like their first EP (self titled) a bit better. It has a bit more of a southern feel to it.
