Kessler

Kessler make a notable entrance with their debut. The basic rock ("Love is War," "Dallas") with guitar heavy riffs sticks them between standard Christian bands like Pillar or Kutless. But the broader ballads, with the melodic and vocal passion of Building 429, are soundtrack-suited. "Outside Your Window" pushes the same emotional buttons as the Fray's "How to Save a Life," and "Perfect" is that jack-of-all-trades track that applies to the everyman and is great for big crush playlists.
