These guys were signed to BEC records a while ago and just released their debut full length today. They're a modern rock band with a southern rock twist, not all that different than Decemberadio or Ember. I really like his vocals, as he displays a pretty open vocal range, especially in the song Love Parade. Here's a few of my favorites off the album.

I kinda like their sound and will probably get this. They remind me of Decemberadio. I have heard that these guys' indie debut was a lot heavier than this, though.

Well the EP they put out last year was only a few songs, all of which are on this album. The new versions sound a little more polished though. Then the album they put out back in 2006 was nowhere near this good. In fact, I would consider it more country than anything. I think it had more to do with the mediocre production. I saw them at a show several years ago and bought their album only to find that it sounded nowhere near as rockin as they sound live. I know it's on "That-internet-music-store-that-shall-not-be-named", but I'm not sure if there's anywhere else you can hear samples.

I went ahead and ordered this CD from Amazon tonight. I needed to order the DVD "The Grace Card" to show to my youth group, and I grabbed this CD to bump me over $25 so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping. Man, I love Amazon!

I knew I'd enjoy this album because I saw Jesus Freak Hideout gave it a 2.5/5 stars review. The first two songs I posted above JFH considered the "low points" of the album even going as far as to say "Jesus Machine" is a song about partying that they just casually threw the name of Jesus in because they're a christian band and that's what you're supposed to do. IMO, they couldn't be any more wrong about this album. I know all reviews are merely just the opinion of one reviewer, but sometimes I feel like they are a little TOO objective at JFH

I'll let you know what I think after it comes in the mail in a few days.

I know, Staybrite! And to top it all off, they're one of those bands who replace a letter with a number even when it doesn't look like the letter it's replacing! Haha

At least I do understand this one. One of the characters in the OT was told to go wash in the river seven time to be healed of his disease. He was cleansed on the "seventh time down".

It's like all the bands that are popping up with RED in their name. As far as this album goes, got it today. Have only listened to bits and pieces so far but I like what I hear so far

I got this in the mail today and am listening to it right now. I must say that I am diggin'g this. I does sound like Kutless and Decemberadio, but the vocalist does have more range than Kutless. This also has some similarities to Building 429. If you only want to rock hard, then you might want to pass on this. But, if you like bands with a Nickelback sound, then this still might be for you.
