Meet The Alrights!Though the “Meeting of the St. Louis County League of Volunteer Astronauts: Excerpts from the Keynote Address†EP is a brief affair, it will go into the archive as an artifact of what Toby Churchill, Danny Cosgrove and Chad Amborn were up to right before they became megastars--Duluth Budgeteer News
There is a playfulness to everything the Alrights do. Even the frenetic tunes find some light and air in the vocal harmonies between Churchill and bassist Danny Cosgrove, reminding you that this is music. It’s fun. You play music, you don’t work music--John Ziegler, Duluth News Tribune
While critics praised The Alrights debut album HIGH SCHOOL and the CD charted on some college radio stations around the country back in 2006, the boys in the band were smiling to themselves and saying, "You ain't seen nothing yet". The Alrights have come zooming back down with a new EP long on title and even longer on talent. As good as HIGH SCHOOL was, The Alrights have grown by leaps and bounds and achieved a new maturity and musical excellence with "Meeting of the St. Louis County League of Volunteer Astronauts: Excerpts from the Keynote Address". The brilliant new EP marks the group as one of the more potent creative forces in contemporary rock and pop. With their new EP, The Alrights are now about the place creatively that The Beatles were with the release of "Rubber Soul"--talents that have found themselves as a cohesive whole and found the beginning of their true, and very unique, sound. For The Alrights this is a sound perhaps not as diverse, but even more compelling and accomplished than the earlier HIGH SCHOOL. The band features, once again, the tasteful drumming of Chad "Chavo" Amborn, the sweet harmonies and steady bass of Danny Cosgrove and the creative genius of keyboardist, guitarist and lead vocalist Toby Churchill. The marvelous songs are mostly by Churchill including, among others, the powerful "When I Get Born" and the Beatlesque and intellectually playful "Happy Birthday Universe" but Cosgrove holds his own with his contribution the punky, sparky "Love Love Love Love Love".
Biography
The Alrights formed in the summer of 2003 although, its members have known each other and played together for much longer. In the fall of 2005, after extensive gigging, the band was signed to a record deal by Manhattan's City Canyons Records. The Alrights will be touring extensive through the winter and spring of 2008.

David Steele from the UK is a writer of sophisticated songs, spanning from driving rock to ballads. His voice, rich with a thoughtful depth, recalls a warmer, more intimate version of Sting. David's debut album UNDERNEATH THE ICE was released in the United States under the City Canyons Records label and his eagerly awaited second album, BLACK LANTERN is due in late 2007, early 2008.As one critic remarked, "David [has a] flair for big, bold anthems, with lyrical ideas that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit and the raw joy of existence. All of this music taken together paints a clear image of Steele's musical persona: a singer/songwriter of the glaciers, if you will, big and burly in the name of majestic beauty"--—Matt Greenwald, Urban Tulsa Weekly
