Before you actually take this CD out its case to give it a spin, All That Remains should catch your attention thanks to its cover, the intriguing black & white picture of a woman playing an invisible piano. However don't expect some Tori Amos exercise here as Stereo Fuse is an old-fashioned rock band that spells Americana in a traditional way, and delivers rockin' anthems.

With an omni-present guitar in gentle overdrive and nervous riffs, Colin Hill delivers a series of catchy songs, lead by his rough voice — somewhere between Michael Stipe (REM) & James Hetfield (Metallica). "Beautiful", "Run and Hide", "Leave me Alone" & "Hey Girl" are the most memorable tracks from this album divided in two halves — rock first and then ballads.

If you would like to win a copy of this new CD, just answer this easy question: In August 2000 - Dallas, Texas - a band featuring guitarist Jeff Quay, drummer Chad Jenkins, bassist/new recruit Rob Clark and a vocalist who will remain anonymous, was playing quirky, Weezer-esque rock, and beginning to gain notice. What was the name of that pre-Stereo Fuse band?!
