Peregrine

On Peregrine, the Kansas four-piece bangs out its staple brand of lavish instrument-thick rock, mashing airy guitar and samples with singer Chris Crisci's alluring, often off-kilter vocal smatterings. Beat master Nathan Jr. Richardson picks up where former drummer Josh Baruth left off, pinging and panging in the band's high-hat heavy style, while Aaron Pillar and Marc Young knock out The Appleseed Cast's characteristic swell. Militia Group. 2006.
