This song is actually pretty damned good. Look forward to hearing this take off.
Adds date is Feb 23 for active and March 23 for Modern according to FMQB.

I heard this song on Music Choice rock and was fairly impressed. Enough to check out the other songs on their myspace...no longer that impressed. This song is good, though. Hope it does decently well.

This isn't too bad at all. I could see it making some noise out of nowhere on Active Rock.

After hearing their album, I think they're decent but obvious knockoffs of Breaking Benjamin and similar modern rock bands. However they are also more decent than most, so that puts them in the hovering space between fail and pass.

This song is very well done imitation. I haven't heard the rest of their album, but the other two on their myspace were a complete and utter snooze-fest.

My favorite song is actually the last one, What Have We Done, which actually has some well thought out and inspiring lyrics.

I really like this band...matter of fact, I think Vancouver's got some really good bands like The Veer Union, Jet Black Stare, and Art of Dying to name a few.

The entire province of BC just has great bands like that. Just to name a few more, Theory Of A Deadman, Default, State Of Shock, and if you like pop punk then count in Marianas Trench and Faber Drive too.

I like all those bands except for Jet Black Stare, whom just isn't clicking with me. They feel like just another hard rock band, plus I don't like their reworking of "Afterglow". But I agree with the sentiment that Canadia has some kick ass groups. Jet Set Satellite is another that I really love.
Also, just to say, Marianas Trench's Masterpiece Theatre is sick. One of the best albums I've heard so far this year, no lie.

Really? I think if nothing else Art Of Dying and Marianas Trench are both incredibly solid bands. Default and TOAD are just favorites of mine, although I'm liking TOAD less now and Default hasn't done anything for years. The Veer Union and Faber Drive are just okay, but they're marginally better than Jet Black Stare. State Of Shock I just think is really slick and their songs are better written.

Are we going Canada-wide in our discussion now or is this still limited to the province of British Columbia? Assuming the former, I'm gonna go with Sarah McLachlan and Our Lady Peace as my faves, but I guess neither of those is as current as any of the acts we're referring to. I don't really know Art of Dying, but a song that was posted here a while back was very good.

Not really a big fan of Marianas Trench, but Art of Dying is pretty decent. I've yet to hear anything of theirs that really wowed me though. I've always been sort of hit or miss on Faber Drive, and I've never liked TOAD, especially now. My interest in Default has waned a bit over time, and I still need to hear more from The Veer Union but I like what I've heard. And I just can't get into State of Shock, they seem to be having issues figuring out what they wanna sound like, not to mention that "Money Honey" just annoyed me. As for Jet Black Stare, "Ready to Roll" is one of the catchiest songs I've heard in awhile, and I just love a good road song. I was interested enough to check out the rest of the album and, even though nothing quite lives up to RtR, I still think it's a great record. |

I like bands that don't know what they want to sound like, they're usually more interesting than the ones that do.
Jet Black Stare just...I dunno. I admit they write solid songs but I follow too many bands that sound the same for me to get really excited.
Also, a little disappointed you don't dig Marianas or AOD (as much as me). Art Of Dying I think is one of the better generic hard rock bands to come down in a while and Masterpiece Theatre is really one of my favorite albums of this year so far.
