Sounds Like
We try and incorporate the beautiful melodies of copeland with all the emotional intensity of Pompeii. Blending a foundation of acoustic guitar similar to Dashboard with electric guitar and synth similar to that of Angels and airwaves. so, all in all we sound like Rita Macneil duetting with Rosie O'donnell, its really a beautiful thing.

Brand new album from The Sky Life
Los Angeles, CA – TheSkyLife has a brand new album and a sterling new single in which fans can be absorbed in musical bliss. “Dimes and Discourses” is introducing itself to the world by way of the song “Creator,” which epitomizes the dare-you-to-pigeonhole us pop rock of TheSkyLife.
“Creator” folds together a number of musical aspects – alternative, singer-songwriter, acoustic and poptronica, indie and more – into a brand new creation. The song is a poignant, melodic excursion into the hearts of Justin Carter, Bobby Kuhl, Tenn Bergen and Josh Steffen – the artists that make up the membership of TheSkyLife.
Both organic and electrically charged, brimming over with ambiance, personality and emotional resonance, “Creator” dips into the tender feelings of the human heart and boasts music to complement. It reveals a batch of songcrafters interested in winning fans – but not through sizzle-for-a-second cutout copycat music.
Rather, TheSkyLife is focused on rich melodies and thoughtful lyrics meant to bring out something special in the listener. Far from the typical rock out and sing along music, TheSkyLife’s songs are intended to cause reflection, inspiration and emotional intensity.
Structurally, this is accomplished through a careful melding of ambient synths, piano, guitars and percussion which, according to The Sky Life, “belt out their own songs and lyrics, thoughtfully crafted to connect.”
Twenty-two-year-old guitarist and vocalist Justin Carter hails from Alberta, Canada. Kuhl, 22, was originally a drummer but now serves as pianist for The Sky Life. Josh Steffen, 23, has recently joined the group playing drums. Dwight Werbicki also calls Alberta home. He is 26 and plays the bass.
The Sky Life is currently working with A&R Select, the premier A&R firm based out of Los Angeles, CA.

“Could this album be one that I can load on to my ipod and reflect while feeling the cold waves swallow my feet as I am lying on the beach, in Tahiti or maybe use it as a great musical backdrop for a low key party. Maybe both? Either way this is album creates a great escape for us when we need to run from the world mentally. "The Sky Life" has written music that opens the soul so it can be refreshed and rejuvenated. From the pulsating melody of "Something larger" to love themed "Romantic Memories" Dimes and Discourses is an album every soul desires.” – Rock and Review.com
