Comparisons:
Hard for me to do with any precision. Closest I can think of: Imagine 10,000 Maniacs with a male lead singer, and a woman among the backup vocalists. (mapravat@prairienet.org)
Covers/own material:
One cover on their album, own otherwise.
General comments:
This is an independent rock band from central New York State, which has pressed and distributed its first album on its own. Estep had previously released an album as a solo artist. (mapravat@prairienet.org)

Comments:
Their brand of semisoft guitar rock makes for pleasant listening, but there is nothing bland about it. The lyrics are well-crafted and interesting—appealing to intelligent people without being overly esoteric. This is a band that deserves to succeed. (mapravat@prairienet.org)
