    great cover band love the singer. Its a testament to Rush's greatness the number of musicians it takes to cover Rush.

      Yes. And it still doesn't sound as full. Needs more bass umph

    Usually female Rush tribute band singers are a turn off but she nails it. She adds just the right amount of vibrato and really makes it work.

      @@josephwulf1623 yeah the drummer does good. His snare sounds good for what he’s playing but his toms…….don’t sound as musically strong and the cymbals sound way to thick and metallic. The roundhouse fill he does at the end is quite good. That said, as a whole the entire band is really strong but the vocalist is freakin killer!!!

    Very nice. Very clean.
    Listened 1st time with eyes closed. Pleasantly surprised.
    2nd time eyes opened. Shes easy on the eyes. Not overly animated.
    Lots of sounds to hear in this cover. I really like it. Difficult for my 60 year old ears to accept female singer as opposed to Geddy, but third time listening and I'm comfortable.
    More talent in these members than I've ever had.

Sounded like geddy. He left for California. Bummer. They're based in Morton grove, Illinois. Up north of Chicago. On the east coast there's lotus land. But solar federation is cool band name. Dam. Up next is analog kid. Top five tune. I love signals album. 1982. 18 years old. Lol. Good old days. Rock on folks lol. Yeah baby. Actually I'm a guy. Tony. My roommates phone.
