Are You a Streaker?

By Abby Clyde, Staff Writer

     The Sunstreak is an up and coming alternative rock band that has been playing since 2005. With four albums and one single released, this band is climbing their way to the top. In 2006, they sold over 25,000 records in two months, received a place on the Top Independent Albums list and are still progressing.

    In October of 2009, they released their fourth album titled "Once Upon a Lie." I was able to listen to a preview of the album and I definitely liked what I heard.

    Although some of the lyrics weren't very deep or symbolic, ("I wanna touch you, I wanna kiss you, I wanna feel you in my arms, I need to hold you.") each song told a different story and it was obvious that there was emotion behind it. Not to mention the beat is totally catchy and easy to rock out to. They have an almost Boys Like Girls feel to their music with the fast tempo teen love songs. My favorite on this album would have to be "Here in My Arms", one of their slower songs but with a very lovely melody that easily gets stuck in your head. .

    All the songs, however, impressed me and I will most definitely buy the full album as soon as possible. To find out more, click your way onto the official Sunstreak website (http://www.myspace.com/thesunstreak) and become a "streaker" yourself!
