Our band sounds similar to U2, Angels & Airwaves, Switchfoot, or Colplay. We have a very modern feel to our music and a very up-beat strong melodic sound. Harmonies and Melodies are very important to us and we believe it's what makes our music so strong. This band came together for one purpose... To offer the "Sky View" perspective on life. It changes everything, with all the hurt in this world when you look at things from the window of an airplane everything becomes so small and you begin to see the big picture. Just close your eyes and let the music lift you above the clouds.So there are five of us altogether: Evan Smith(lead vocal, lead guitar) Ryan Kirk(back-up vocal, keyboard) Wes Morrison(rhythm guitar) Randi Yoder(bass)and Chris McCoy(drums).

Sounds Like: Elevating.. Electric Delay, Acoustic Rhythm, Keyboard Effects, Digital Waves (wave machine) Soft Rock, Bass Drum-Driven, Angels & Airwaves & U2, Uplifting, Organs, Strings, I guess the real way to describe in words the way SKYVIEW sounds is simply "Flight." If someone could put into words what pain and sorrow they feel in the most desperate moment of their life and be lifted for only a moment to see things differently.. I would hope that they would say, "That music helped me change, now I know there is hope."
