About this project

Hello friends!

So we've been busy wrapping up the final stages of our next full length record entitled "TA" and we're going to need your help to get this thing packaged and out the door!

We're near completion and to this point, we've self-funded this thing, having enlisted producer Dan Dixon of Drop Sonic, to help with the engineering and production. Recorded in our beloved Loves Park, a trolley station in east Atlanta, we've crafted a collection of songs that we're sure is our best work yet. Check the photos here and download free samples on our brand spanking new site: www.trancesarc.com

With your help, we're hoping to raise enough money to pay for mastering, duplication, and PR costs and get this thing on track for an official Spring/Summer release and capitalize on the momentum we've garnered from positive national reviews and various TV and film placements in the last year.

Your generous donation will give you digital access to exclusive studio roughs, updates as we near completion, tees, posters as well as some cool personal musical gear and live performances.

So make a pledge amount now and help put this project out! Nobody's pledge gets charged and nobody gets fun prizes unless we meet our $10,000 goal by February 27th, so tell everyone you know!!!!!

Can't wait for you to hear this record and we thank you in advance for your love and support! Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous new year...

Eric, Brad, Michael, and Danny

Trances Arc

Has not connected their Facebook account.

This Atlanta, GA quartet deliver a perfect amalgam of rock hedonism and cunning arrangements, resulting in a memorable and compelling collection of confident rock songs which blur the line between the indie and pop rock worlds with its plaintive, yet bold vocals and infectious guitar interplay.

"With its twin guitar attack, [Trances Arc] recalls the glory days of indie-rock then slips into a slithery T. Rex groove."

-- Brian Mansfield, USA TODAY

"Without sounding the least bit studied, Trances Arc upholds early '90s alternative rumble as the new classic rock. Nearly every track comes as catchy and compelling as the one before, and the straightforward production suggests that the fivesome won’t falter when these rugged tunes hit the road."

-- Barry Walters, eMusic

This quintet out of Hotlanta seems to have absorbed most of the cool guitar work from the 60's to the 90's with none of the lame stuff, which adds up to a rocking, tuneful, toneful batch of songs... This album is heavy on vibe, heavy on melody, and heavy on tone - a recipe for disaster if there ever was one. Nicely done.

--Matt Blackett, Guitar Player Magazine

"The music of Trances Arc is familiar and therein lies their charm. It's instantly memorable, marked by tight musicianship, larger-than-life hooks and Eric Toledo's stellar vocals."

- Jonathan Sanders, News Editor at Stereo Subversion
