This was described for me as Simple Minds meets Police, and that is a good description. Fans of early U2 and The Smiths would also enjoy this. I just don’t think I have ever heard of this band mentioned in many circles? This is pretty early Christian alternative rock/new wave mix that was very credible at what the style they were playing. Several songs also kind of sound like an extended jam band session – but, of course, Simple Minds/Police style. Not really sure what happened to this band before or after this demo, but would like to find out if you know anything.
