Life in a bottle-or in this case, a CD...

"This truly is life, captured on disc. There are 13 songs on this CD-each strikes a different chord, awakens a different feeling, all woven together to form the experience which is Ten Story Love. The emotions run the gamut from the wistful lusting of "Perfect Girl" to the down-in-the-dumpster pain of "Stuck". Brad and Scot's vocals are brimming with feeling, their guitar work energetic, the rhythm section of Mike and Jason driving the band and keeping the energy level high. They have managed to deal with the issues that affect us all-freedom, love, loss, pain, and the day-to-day monotony without the dark loathing of the Cure's Robert Smith nor the naivete of the numerous one-hit wonders of the past decade. They have dealt with these feelings and emotions with a positive energy and reflectionary tone which makes the songs genuine and uplifting. There is truly something here for everyone. I have not seen them live, but after feeling the energy of their new disc, I cannot wait...after hearing for yourself, I'm sure I'll be seeing you at the next "Love-In"!"
