"Revelation" by Dakona

Canadian band Dakona formed in the late 90s, about the time most record labels were looking for the next Matchbox Twenty. Dakona fit that bill pretty well. Their major label debut arrived in 2003, but "Perfect Change" failed to gain any significant traction in the US. The record would prove to be the band's last and they broke up by 2005.

It is quite puzzling to hear the song "Revelation" and not know why it didn't make a bigger impression at US radio. Perhaps it sounded like too many other groups at the time, but to my ears this rock anthem holds up very well. Lead singer Ryan McAllister went on to record a couple solo albums.
