U2 influenced new wave guitar rock foursome hailing out of Houston, TX.   Check out the anthemic driving guitar rockers ‘Sticky Guilt’ and ‘Where The Water Reaches Ground’.  The guitars and drumming take it up a notch on the harder and edgier ‘Too Close To Cuba’.  The synthesizer comes out to play and leads the charge on ‘Dancing Snails’.  The band taps into some nice melancholic arrangements on the mid-paced ‘For Now Anyway’.  The urgent ‘Under Water’ is an album standout with its angular guitar melody.
