First off, yes, those arrows are part of the band's name. Thank God for the computer culture, eh? As for sound, remember Renaissance? Wince if you do. This trio from the windy city has a similar sound, big, baroque, sweepy numbers that meander here and there. Gina Gonzalez has a pretty voice that's usually doubled. Joe Nuccio plays a real nice bass, and Vincent Varco fills the air with various keyboard sounds. The songs have a European feel to them, and "Be That As It May" has pop potential if the tempo picked up a bit. Kudos to Dave Uhrich for smoking guitar bits. Classically influenced rock from Chicago just for you. www.signingeinstein.com
