[demo]
Reviewed by Joey Knight
The opening on this four-song demo starts out great with some Eagles-type harmonies on "The Preacher," but tends to get mundane and cheesy in the verses due to lack of aggressive backup vocals and uninteresting lead vocal lines. "So Long" is a much better pop/rock tune about waiting for God. "More Than Yesterday" is a real nice ballad with good harmonies. The last song, "Friends," is a very "Extreme-sounding" tune with a real good groove and the lead singer tending to sound like Gary Cherone. Three out of four really isn't bad. I would just replace the first song, or move it to the end. To order, send $5 to: PO Box 213, Perris CA 92571.
