Press/Reviews

CHRISTIAN SINGLE Magazine - Indie Pick of the Month

Continuing in the tradition of husband/wife musical acts comes Illinois' Chuck and Lynette Giacinto, otherwise known as the worshipful pop rockers Final Quest. Since the couple's mid-90s musical formation, they've opened for prominent artists Third Day, Kathy Troccoli, The Newsboys, and Out of Eden, and also teamed up with acclaimed singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Chalfant. Not only has such a union increased the band's exposure, but it's artistically refined members on the band's new release Discovery, which blends Lynette's crystalline vocals, Chuck's stellar songwriting, and superb overall production. Examples of Lynette's radiant pipes are best found on the disc's single "Hear the Roar" (about believers joining together in praise) and a cover of Natalie Merchant's "Kind & Generous," while the balanced combination of a live backing band, studio-driven loops, and appropriate sound effects showcases the band's production prowess. Chuck's lyrical development is strongest on the gritty "Where You Are", which focuses on a believer's need to seek holiness over worldliness. Not only does this disc serve as an uplifting soundtrack to such a noble goal, but Final Quest is an admirable example of independent excellence worth studying.

CCM Magazine - Sonicflood / Final Quest

Though the sound of Sonic Flood has changed significantly over the years, the band can still draw in a crowd and lead spirited sessions of corporate worship. Newly recorded cuts like "Everyday," "Cry Holy," and "God is Great" got a facelift, courtesy of the band's crisp rhythm section and potent energy display. And upbeat audience's unwavering backing choruses, prayerfully paving the way for Heil's touching testimony. Much of the crowd's reverence, prior to Sonicflood's set, was built up by co-headliner's Final Quest, the contemporary-edged worship rockers whose nucleus of husband/wife duo, Chuck and Lynette Giacinto, conjured up visions of Out of the Grey and Wilshire. Solid sonic direction and songwriting craftsmanship free of cliche were apparent throughout the tribal/world beat tone of "Discovery" (the latest disc's title cut) and the reggae-infused gem "Come Back to the Son." A finale worship medley featuring an alternative-edged Rich Mullins "Creed" cover and a scripture reading of John 3:16 over the chords of U2's "With or Without You" were just what the doctor ordered on this uplifting and ministry-minded day.

Biography
To the uninitiated, the band name Final Quest might not ring a bell, but to those who have crossed paths with this energetic group, chances are they’ve made a lasting impression. For members Chuck and Lynette Giacinto, the group is more than just a musical endeavor, but rather the perpetuation of their daily lifestyle: one steeped in infectious enthusiasm, artistic liberty, and above all, worshipful reverence. Formed in 1991, Final Quest’s initial nucleus consisted of Chuck’s pensive songwriting sensibilities and Lynette’s ethereal charm, which soon evolved into concert environments throughout the Midwest. At first the group started on a small scale, honing their chops in area coffeehouses and churches, but as their on stage dynamic and interactive chemistry grew, so did their performance opportunities. Eventually, Final Quest made it to the festival circuit performing with Christian music’s genre spanning elite, including Third Day, Jars of Clay, Kathy Troccoli, The Newsboys, All Star United, Cheri Keaggy, Out of Eden, and Bryan Duncan. Eventually, their buzz caught the ear of famed producer/BMI Award winning songwriting Kevin Chalfant, who many will recall fronted the mainstream super group The Storm (also featuring members of Santana and Journey). Chalfant immediately caught the vision of the group’s musicality, and thanks to his personal faith, was also able to grasp Final Quest from a spiritual perspective. He quickly signed the group to his Chicago based Clique Records and got the group into the studio to record their official debut Heart and Soul in 1998. Besides having Chalfant behind the boards and as a co-writer, the delightful acoustic/alternative recording also included songwriting by Alby Odum (Daniel’s Window) and drums by Shawn Fichter (Trisha Yearwood). “One thing led to another as Final Quest matured, we got to work with some amazing people,” Chuck says with a thankful tone. “But as tempting as it was to want to ride that out all the way and start touring all over America, we realized that some groups are meant to serve a region and foster relationships with people, rather than take the ‘new city every day’ route.” Despite staying close to home, Heart and Soul did put Final Quest on the map so to speak, establishing them within radio and retail circles and making them a regular name on concert promoters’ menus. After the record successfully ran its course, Chuck and Lynette went back to the drawing board for the sessions which would birth its follow-up Discovery, their brand new project framing the group’s developmental interplay with worshipful undertones. The project and subsequent live shows also feature fellow church worship team members Denny Rockey on percussion and backing vocals along with Chris and Angie Brock on drums and bass respectively.“Going from the less worshipful but still spiritual tone of Heart and Soul to the more praise focused Discovery has been very natural,” Chuck contends. “Though praise and worship music may be the trend right now on the contemporary Christian scene, it’s just an extension of what we’ve done all along and the next logical step in our recording direction.” Not only was that decision further validated through the introspective beauty on the recordings, but they’re also overflowing with instrumental experimentation. Take for instance the title cut’s message of exploring one’s faith to its fullest over a guitar driven, semi-acoustic canvas that’s sprinkled with ethnic and world beats. It’s followed by the EP’s first single “Hear the Roar,” about Christians uniting and lifting their hands in praise. Then there’s the lush and melodic “Where You Are,” a gritty gem that calls believers to rise above their broken state and enter into the presence of God. “A lot of times worship can be congregational in a church setting, but this song is about coming together face to face with the Lord and offering up thanks and glory,” Chuck explains.To round out the album, Final Quest includes a cover of Natalie Merchant’s “Kind and Generous” (the “Thank You” song) to highlight Lynette’s radiant vocals. It may be best known as a mainstream hit, but thematically it expresses gratitude towards the giver of life Himself. "If I could sum what Final Quest is, in it's simplest form, it's merely an extension of who we are in our local church. What we do in a concert on Saturday night is essentially the same thing you will find us doing on Sunday morning...worshipping God."
