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
