    Modern rock is a tough, competitive field to be in. Here's a quintet that adds many of the right ingredients to succeed - competent playing, nice vocals, and decent songs. Not much stuff is heavy here, but the band does lay down some rock ("Soliloquy" and "Vegetables" are two examples) occasionally. They compete (but not win) with such bands as Jars of Clay, Creed, and Collective Soul, often laying on the softer side.
