My friends Leah Shopinski passed this band along to me while she was searching for Michigan bands to interview and write up about.  Immediately after hearing their music I was hooked.  They've only been around for a little over a year and the talent they have outweighs most bands at this point in their careers.  Their strength lies in their catchy riffs and powerful vocals.  Chris's vocals are so soulful and somewhat reminiscent of Johnny Craigs.  Most of the time his vocals make you wish you could sing that good.  On the other hand, Anthony's high register vocals are similar to that of Brandon Anderson formerly of Eyes Set To Kill.  But where Anthony's vocal prowess differ from Brandon's are his his ability to create deep guttural screams.  Vocal is work is awesome, but as a unit they own faces and you should keep your eyes and ears open for them.  Most likely the replay button will never be the same after listening to these guys.
