"My 16 year old son turned to me two days ago and told me that since I like Kutless so much, I would probably like this other band called "Story Side B". He has always had awesome taste in music, so I pulled up RealPlayer and gave it a shot.
The first song I played was the one he loves the most (this week) "Breathe". Incredible piece. We played it twice. Then I played a few others. In two hours, I played three songs. Just three, over and over and over. From the Styx-reminiscent "Off the Ground" to the moving sincerity of "Dance To Me". There are so many influences I can hear in the vocals and melodies, but I hesitate to name them because the end result stands so totally on it's own.
The messages are simple. Trust. Have faith. Find good people. God loves us. And "You Are Not Alone".
In every track, one can't help but be assured that these guys truly love what they do and had a blast writing and recording this debut album.
This writer eagerly awaits not only the next offering, but that Story Side B will put together a MySpace web page, to further share their awesome gifts with all the music lovers there.

A great CD from a new band

"Ok, no hype here folks; this band is great. The album has everything (and more!), great songwriting, great singing and harmony and a great flow. This is one of those albums that could have 10 or 12 songs on the charts as every song is catchy and is worthy of release as a single. Follow this band, they are going places and buy the CD if you want some great music."
Pretty Good

"Everything And More is a fairly good CD. There are no really poor songs. There are three that are quite good: 'Miracle', 'Everything And More', and 'More To This Life'.
Although it is reasonably good, there is nothing really exceptional on this CD. The lyrics are good. They contain a consistent Christian message.
My recommendation would be to try a couple of the aforementioned songs through ITunes or another music download service rather than buying a whole album."
One of the Best Albums EVER!

"Hey Joey Thompson (three reviews below), don't forget that Toby Mac (aka Toby mcKeehan) pretty much owns the record label that Story Side B is on, and signed the band. However, this does not matter when it comes to the true talent of this band and the artistic quality of the album. In my opinion, this is the best "positive rock" album ever! Yep...I said it!
I personally know most of the band and I can say that each of these guys are musical geniuses. Between Lou (who also lead the awesome band "Monkey the Fish"), Matt, Ron, Jordan, and Lil' Preston Pohl, these guys have created an album that can withstand time. Each song is perfectly crafted. There is NO filler on this album. These guys are definitely a band to watch. I predict that they will become HUGE and even have some cross-over success to the main-stream music audience. Plus, they are some of the most down-to-earth guys you will ever meet. No matter how long they have been touring or how tired they may be, they are always approachable by fans and they always greet them with a smile, handshake, and usually a hug.
You can't go wrong with buying this C.D. I'm so confident that you'll like this C.D...I'll guarantee that if you don't, I'm sure someone else will want to buy it from you!

"This is Christian Music at it's most awesome level. It is amazing
that 5 of the most talented young men have blended their gifts, diversity of backgrounds and skills together for a common goal of reaching the young at heart with a powerful message through music. This CD is a MUST BUY!! I can't hardly wait for the next project. If you have the chance to catch one of their shows.....Run / don't walk; you'll be glad you did."
