Profile This album is so heavily sought after, I’m sure that is what drive’s the price so high. Not the best I’ve heard, but, certainly not the worst and at times enjoyable. The band features some catchy, melodic AOR/hard rock. At times, they remind me of bands like Rock Blvd., Friction, Blind Date and Rock Candy, although not exactly at that same level. I’m sure this record is Likely to be as rare as the sought after Rock Blvd though and there’s a number of collectors who would love to look up and see it sitting on their shelf!!!!
‘Piledriver’ is an dull starter the way starters shouldn’t be then ‘Here I Go (back in love)’ has some Motley Crue flavour or glam may i say…then things get a little bit better in track 5 ‘Culvertown Stomp’ which is a blues rock song and one of the highlights of the album the rest can be completed with ‘ashes Of My Heart’ (good),’Too,Too Bad'(this song rocks,perhaps the best of the album) and ‘Dog In Heat’.
