Good independent rock from North Carolina. They're talented guys, very proficient players for sure, but they're a little caught up in the "Nickelback" and North American rock sound. In other words, they are a bit too serious for their own good. They sound a bit like the 80's bands who have been putting out albums, the music lacks that youthful enthusiasm. Songs like "Step Out Of Line" show they have the ability to rock out, and "In Time" has some nice hooks, but many songs are just mid-tempo rock songs that need a little "kick" to them. And I believe they have the ability, vocals are quite melodic, but the music seems a little too dark at times. I'm not trying to turn them into an AOR band, but perhaps they could just pick things up a little. If you like the groove oriented American Rock, you're going to like these guys a lot, but if you're into the Euro-scene you might be a little bored with Spank.
