Music Album Review: St8 of Grace - "This Endless War" (8/10)

The Chicago-based quintet St8 of Grace balances the worlds of rock and pop with gusto and sophistication. The gusto comes from heavy-duty guitars and muscular drums. The sophistication is displayed in the arrangements and the way they stack their harmonies. Two examples are the tracks “Chasing Time” and “Close Your Eyes.” The former grabs you with a soulful Kings X meets Lenny Kravitz kind of sensibility, and the latter is an anthemic blend of spacey electronica and tempered emotion. Their musical diversity may be daunting, but don’t let that deter you.

Score: 8 of 10
