The love child of mc5 and Grand Funk Railroad

"This is the band that does the retro 70's cock-rock rebirth right. Forget Jet and all the wannabes, these guys don't just nail it, they take it back to the hotel-room and ravish it like a groupie.



Take mc5 and Grand Funk Railroad, Humble Pie and Foghat, you have an idea where these guys came from. But it ain't re-hash, it's real. They're not stealing riffs, they're just the modern extension of all that, what those bands would be playing if they started today.



This is a must-have for lovers of classic seventies rock, but it's also a keeper for modern hard rock fans; retro without sounding dated or tongue-in-cheek. With a debut album this good, I want to hear what they do next."

Rock...like it's supposed to be....

"Jonesin' for the classic 70's power trio rock sound ? Great riffs and guitar solos (that's right amazon friends...guitar solos) ? Then buy this cd. Great from start to finish. Sad they broke up...because their live show rocked....so pick up this cd. And, if you can, pay full price. These guys worked hard for the $$....throw them a bone...."
