A Closer Look was formed by four small-town friends who wanted to move up from the weekly open mics and start a band. Built on the principle that they would not write just any songs, but only those with a deeper meaning. Thus the name A Closer Look, or ACL, was picked as the band's moniker. Soon they were playing the local music scene more and more frequently and began recording their debut album, Not Another Soulless Pop Song.
Lyrics are written by Dave Toennies, who also plays the rhythm guitar and does lead vocals. Keyboards and additional vocals come courtesy of Alex Henrichs, who also rotates to bass. Jim Foppe lays down the beats on the drums. Chad Kolmer rounds out the quartet on the lead guitar and as the bass player.
