"I first saw this Scottish band on a late night slot on my local TV station. Their gripping performance made me go and buy their album straight away. I wasnt disappointed. The album is full of powerful rock songs with a distinct emotional and gutsy edge. The band's sound is very unique due to the wonderful vocals and lyrics. In particular the song "Gasoline Queen" has a slight bon jovi tinge to it and it compliments a very strong debut album. full of infectious choruses and melodies you cant help but sing along. Right from the opening number "Urban Pressure", the energy is contagious up until the end of the song where there is a mellow run down. This energy flows throughout the album's songs. This band really are a hidden gem and no-one knows about them......yet! I hope the word spreads"
