Three track EP capitalising on the success of 'Mindy's Revenge' which also featured "Let Me Out". This Washington State live-piece have been together for a couple of years and they play a familiar style of alternative pop that is focussed lyrically on Jesus. "Forever Changed" has the jangly guitars and strong rhythms and harmonised vocals which point to a strong Jars Of Clay influence which seems to be capturing a lot of unsigned American bands al the moment. The title tune is obviously the best here with its big chorus and insistent rhythm. Although a big chorus is also the redeeming feature of this EP's opener. "Alive". Not distinctive enough to stand out from the crowd, this is good but these days a band has to do something very special indeed to make an impression.
