"This is one of the best, most catchy and adrenaline filled fun songs I have heard in a long time. It is brilliant how it goes from acoustic to electric at the beginning. The riffs are strong throughout... You have a hit on your hands with this one and I will keep my eyes on you..." Reviewed by the Gods of Indie Guitar CD Compilation contest on September 30, 2010.

A Canadian/American collaboration. Daniel Wright from Bothell, WA (Music, Vocals) and Gordon Holmes of Elko, BC (Lyrics) met while playing water volleyball on vacation in Mexico and started making music in March 2009. With the help of Daniel’s talented friend, Rick Howard from Pacifica, CA (drummer/engineer) the trio have created some fantastic new songs.

Daniel Wright has been playing piano since he was 5 years old. Besides having great vocals, Daniel also plays guitar, bass and trombone. Daniel has no limits when it comes to music and is a musician in every sense of the word. He has aspirations to share his love of music with children of all ages. Daniel has just completed a Bachelor's in Music Education at San Francisco State University and is now working on his Masters at Holy Names University. Daniel lives for playing music with as many people as possible,whenever and wherever he can.

Daniel plays and creates music in a variety of different genres including country, acoustic rock, heavy metal, electronic music, classical and jazz. Among his many projects over the years are his own self-titled and self-created electronica albums under the name "Daniel Wright Showcase," a band that he has been in with his sister since he was 15 years old, called the Erika Wright Band, and various side-project rock bands encompassing everything from rock 'n' roll to heavy metal. His evident love of music comes across in everything he puts a chord to.

Daniel is busy putting the finishing touches on his next single in the recording studio. He also recently made the theme song for MUNI (the name of the sitcom he’s appearing in about two guys and two girls that meet on the MUNI and talk about the crazy people that ride public transit in San Francisco). He also made the theme song for an animation series about a reverend who takes his mission to the sea, the working title was "The Underwater Evangelist," but they changed the title to, "S.O.S.: Genesis." He purposefully mixed it poorly to sound like an 80's cartoon theme song, (think Thundercats).
