A quartet that formed in the late 1990s and released albums like 'The Flood' and 'Paradise'.
For their sound, 'Alive in the Fire' is the obvious touchstone. But 'Healing' probably gets closer to what Crisci was talking about lyrically.
They came out of the Pacific Northwest with that grunge-influenced alternative rock sound that was still hanging around in the late '90s. 'Alive in the Fire' from their 2002 debut became their most recognized track, and Chris Crisci has talked about how personal struggles with addiction and depression fed into the lyrics. Songs like 'Healing' and 'Face Of a Lie' carry that weight without turning into a grand drama.
They started when Crisci and Kevin Longendyke met at a local music store, adding Eric Anderson and Will Lucas to make a quartet. After 'The Flood' in 2002, they put out records like 'Paradise' in 2004 and 'War and Peace' in 2007. They kept going through a 2006 plagiarism issue over 'Falling' and were still recording by 2010 with 'The Battle for the Sun'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
