Press Reviews Moody! Quite a dark number, this one, but well excecuted nonetheless. Liked the guitars and the pounding of the drums, the vocals were very rock!

The vocals remind me of Billy Idol somewhat. The change in the middle was real nice. Too bad real player doesn't stream good. The talking in the end was a nice touch also. Not bad.
