The band is the same that made up Days of the New(minus Travis Meeks, the lead singer), and it certainly still shows in the acoustic textures that they use in their music. I had to listen to the CD twice to really get a feel for it. The lead(Hugo) wants to sound like Travis Meeks in the worst way, and he doesn't quite get there, but his voice is still rather interesting and compliments the music quite well. I am a retail music store manager and pretty much guarantee at least three radio hits from the album. The fact that they debuted at #4 on the rock charts certainly speaks highly for them as well. If you like good rock that's not too heavy check this out!
