"What a great demo! Sweet vocals and amazing electric guitar.They sound a little like U2. Sweet and fresh! What a band. I'll be watching for more of these guys!"

Its good to hear some bands still know how to rock

"It seems like the going trend as of late is for bands to turn their electric guitars into instruments to put their fans to sleep. BUT NO NOT THIS BAND. I really enjoyed the mix of electric and acoustic in the songs along with a good mix of different tempos. btw that rhythm guitar is really good! rock, rock on"

Great sound, great skill, great music

"These guys have it down. They prove that it is possible to be a popular rock band and still make great music. They bring a level of skill back to the mainstream sound that is so lacking in the industry today. The vocals are not at all subdued or mellow, but they are also not the lung-tearing screams of an untrained wanna-be. Rather they mix a great technical background with youth and intensity that mean you don't have to sacrifice your ears to get drawn into and moved by this music. The rythm guitarist is incredibly creative, using every tool at his disposal to make music that gets stuck in your head all day, but is still musically advanced. The lead guitarist shows all the hallmarks of an '80s metal background, but tempers and blends his riffs and solos so you can enjoy this music whether you love, hate, or have never heard Metallica. The drummer adds another layer to the sound, deftly controlling suspense and intensity. The bass player is the final and perfect addition. He instinctively knows when to stay back and follow the guitar, and when to pound through to the front. They employ and improve upon many of the methods and sounds that characterize the most popular bands from the past, and they introduce new sounds and styles that make them pioneers in the next step of musical evolution. Overall this band has the hooks to draw you in and the skill to appease even the most critical musician. Don't wait for the industry to promote them, start listening to All At Once now and discover one of the first bands to define popular music in the coming decade."
