Stavesacre digs into their more hardcore roots with You Know How It I, a song that has remnants of the paranoia of the screwed up world vs. following the will of God mentality that we see permeate in Absolutes (especially in An Eclipsing).
If Stavesacre were in a Nascar race with the last song, they nearly come to a complete stop (maybe crashing into the side of the raceway and leaving skid marks?) with Rivers Underneath.
Stavesacre does an amazing cover of the Cure's Fascination Street (I actually like it better than the original!) The bass really is the highlight of this track, with its full, deep, and rich sounds.

 Plug In music : Review of Stavesacre - Stavz’a’ker
Stavesacre will offer a bit of it all on their album “Stavz’a’ker.” Starting with a heavier rock meets pop sound foundation, the band builds and deconstructs from there to create gentle ballads and textured instrumentation.
While Stavesacre never does wander too far from their original plan, they do offer a respectable album with some memorably melodic lines hidden under crashing drums and guitar riffs.
Stavesacre give up too easily on their driving riffs, offering decent instrumentation on intros that die off, sometimes needlessly, for the vocals.

 Stavesacre - How To Live WIth A Curse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
I don't know how the members of Stavesacre go about the writing process, but as a fan of the band since their debut in 1996, I've formed my own opinions.
After falling in love with "Absolutes," which is one of the finest rock albums ever made, and then hearing the band's efforts after the departure of guitarist Jeff Bellew, specifically their self-titled album in 2002, it seemed obvious to me that Bellew was the songwriting force of the band.
There isn’t a thing in the world wrong with that, but when you compare that to the Stavesacre of the late 90s, an artistic force that had no equal, it’s a bit of a letdown.

Stavesacre has what Pressure 4-5 had, and what Finger Eleven and Three Days Grace currently have: all the components to craft solid, memorable rock songs.
Coincidentally, Stavesacre sounds like a sonic amalgamation of these three bands; they’re better than Pressure and Three Days, and on the same plane, but with better footing to climb to the next level than Finger Eleven.
Stavesacre use, but don’t abuse, guitar effects, adding a nice bit of depth and layering to the effort.

 Stavesacre reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
Stavesacre's second release, Absolutes, starts of in a mellow fashion, but picks up rapidly and wanders off-the-beaten path.
There are quite a few surprises hidden in the music of this album which isn't apparent on the first listen, and these are apparent in the tracks Colt (cool vocal processing), Inclusion (fast and provocative), and Acquiesce (emotional and haunting).
The music and lyrical themes aren't my cup of tea, but Stavesacre are harder and different than the average alternapop out on the radio today.

 Article: Entertainment - Local music: The Stavesacre of old   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
Stavesacre is back and fans of the Huntington Beach band have every reason to celebrate the arrival of "How to Live With a Curse," which comes out Tuesday.
One thing that is no longer causing the band any stress is the process of music-making and weathering the storms that have battered Stavesacre on two fronts - from both the record company industry side and from the so-called Christian music establishment that never seemed to fully embrace the hard-rocking band.
However, Stavesacre's forthcoming effort, "How to Live With a Curse" (Abacus Recordings), marks a decidedly strong return to form for the Surf City outfit, which was founded in 1995 and issued a trio of successful discs on Seattle-based Tooth and Nail in the late '90s.

The eleven songs on it (they skipped number 9, so it looks like there are twelve), talking about who knows what, ranged from the occasional light ballad to almost hardcore.
So they let the compliments go to their head and they tried to make themselves into something that everyone wanted them to be or expected them to be.
I don't know if this is the case with Stavesacre, so I'm probably just making all this up.

 Stavesacre :: "Speakeasy"
The first CD, "Friction," was more mellow than their second, "Absolutes," but certain aspects (including the drummer who had a rather ferocious approach to his ingredient of the music) made it easily recognizable as the same band on their sophomore release.
But as with almost every Stavesacre song ever written, the song quickly pulls you into Stavesacre's unique style of music that is hard to classify between hard rock and simply rock.
And like the majority of this album, it is a very upbeat song, something Stavesacre has tended to drift away from two or three times per CD in the past.

We’ve made some decisions that were good and some that were bad, but ultimately we’ve done what seemed like the right thing to do, regardless of what it’s meant for the business side of Stavesacre… Look – sometimes doing what is “right” or “correct” means you take a loss or go the rough road.
Mark: We never would have allowed ourselves to be a part of the music scene that took up the first three albums of our existence.

Stavesacre has come a long way since their debut album; evolving from a hard sound to a more alternative sophistication.
Stavesacre is one of them and I found them by following singer Mark Solomon from The Crucified, a punky/metal group.
So while I enjoyed "Stavesacre," it definitely wasn't a stellar effort that I'd put up there with "Absolutes" and "Speakeasy." "How To Live With A Curse" definitely is. It is everything I could have asked for from a current Stavesacre album.
