This is going to be one of my quickest band reviews ever because I can not find anything about about this band. This is not the U.K. band of the same name. This Arc was from Allegan Michigan and had 2 albums. They described themselves a group “comprised of 12 – 14 talented college age individuals” but we have no idea who these 12 – 14 people were. So that’s all I got on them so lets get on to the album. This is an album of cover songs and boy are they varied. I was not expecting a cover album with covers from both Stryper and The Winans. That said these guys/gals make it work. While the style overall is pop they turn up the rock a bit for the Stryper track and turn it down for The Winans. The album actually has a pretty good flow and is really well done for a self released covers album. I definitely think it is worth a listen. Here is a list of the tracks and who first released them;
You’re Alright – Michael W. Smith
The Rock That Makes Me Roll – Stryper
Always – Tim Miner, Tim Miner
He is All You Need – Rob Frazier
Tomorrow – The Winans
You Know What’s Right – Rob Frazier
Stolen Love – Rob Frazier
