New name & Devotion
Being forced to change its name in midstream can erase a promising band's momentum and send it straight back to square one in the great musical board game.

Skilled at the art of crafting likeable pop songs, the band gained a following in its home town and here in Capital City before running afoul of a similarly named high-energy outfit from overseas. The solution, made easier by the addition of a fourth Datson, was to rename the band The Datson Four.
