These Days Review

With Invade My Soul, their first national release from Fervent Records, under their belt, modern pop/rock band By The Tree has already won two Dove Awards, scored several rock radio hits, received amazing critical acclaim, and wrapped up their first year as one of the top ten new artists of 2001 according to Soundscan. In August 2002, the band reveals more great songs, again penned primarily by founding member Chuck Dennie and the rest of By The Tree, on their second album, These Days. Taking the helm as producers, Joe Chiccarelli (Tori Amos, Oingo Boingo) and Otto Price (dc Talk, Katy Hudson, Grits) have blended By The Tree's popular rock sound and vertical lyrics with a modern pop groove, revealed songs like "Mystery" and "Salvation Song," and the upbeat "Into Your Arms," a cover of early '90s band The Lemonheads. With an extensive tour schedule that will take them to most of the major summer festivals, including Creation and AtlantaFest, and planning for a fall tour underway, By The Tree will reach hundreds of thousands of fans this year with the sound that Billboard describes as "a rich full sound that entertains the ears and enriches the soul."
