| : | Good melodic hard rock with a bluesy flavor. Released on the GB Music label that gave us the highly under-rated Under Fire, and produced by New Englands Hirsch Gardener. Vocalist is like a rawer Steve Plunkett. This is basically a compilation of the bands music from the early 80's up until present day. A Worth while addition for fans of the genre. |
