Press Reviews From Abraisiverock.com: Style: Southern Fried old School Metal? Sounds like: Sammy Hagar's V.O.A album mixed with the first Alice And Chains and Chains Good Points: musicly the band does straight up dark tinged metal with a slight southern spin to it. This band would go over well in any dark dirty club in any state in America. The band sounds tight but relaxed, the vocalist uses his voice better than some with twice the range, and the phone message sample on the song Mindshaker reminds me of an old drummer I once had to deal with...funny shit! Bad Points: The vocalist sometimes over enuncates the end of some lines and could make people forget his otherwise great vocals Recomended if: If you are looking for a no bullshit straight up hard rock album Other Thoughts: The bands sound while obviously played by well seasoned musicians, comes off as a litle scattered. The band is all over the place with stylisticly and should find a sound they like and stick with it. A good producer might help them focus their sound a slight bit though and then this band would be ready for the big time! May I recomened a producer in your area who goes by the name Curran Murphy?
