Welcome Race Fans Is Fun
I came across a copy of this the other day, alone with 300+ other 90's era Christian Rock albums and this was one of the first few into my CD player. Of course I had to hear "Grey Clouds" first. The first reviewer is right, though. I dropped the band when they dropped Davia. Or maybe she dropped them to get married. Not a bad idea. The one song is well worth a quarter, though.

Debut from underrated band
I'm mostly writing this review to dispute the only other review on this album. While DMC's debut dabbles in New Wave territory, there's much more bouncy power-pop to be found. From the loose, earthy acoustic jams of "Everything" and "Sing Hallelujah" to the light pop-punk of "Need A Love" and "All Good Generals" this is a well-rounded snapshot of early '90s SoCal Christian Rock. The lyrics are evangelical without being preachy and YES, the lead singer Davia Vallesillo is a beautiful girl. She also stayed with the band for at least the next release, the more developed "Welcome Race Fans". Having seen Dakoda Motor Company play live more than once I can say that it's a shame more people didn't know about them. I guess it only costs a quarter to enlighten yourself. It would be well-spent.

Christian New Wave?
Professional Surfer Peter King formed this band and cut a few CDs. The music slants towards Southern California New Wave Christian music. All the lyrics are without a doubt Christian. This CD "Into the Son" is the best of the band's three releases primarily because of the beautiful voice of young lead singer Davia Vallesillo. Davia left the band shortly after this CD was released. She has a beautiful voice and sings passionately especially in the song "Grey Clouds". Rather than placing the focus on Davia's voice, Peter King pursued his interests in the style of music that caught his ear which is fine. He probably enjoyed every moment of it. But I would rather have heard a few more gentle ballads sung by that beautiful voice of Davia.
