    arena rock

    Production is as expected for a home-made demo, and skill levels seem to be up to par for this genre. Much of this could be classified as arena rock, though I do hear quite a few modern influences here. Most lyrics are of the evangelical variety, and guitars groovy and crunchy. The tape needs help, but has a ton of potential. For info, write: c/o Doug & Lisa Ginther, 641 S. Spruce, Wichita KS 67211
