Style: Hard Rock
Release date: February 27th 2009
 

How many of you, honourable readers, (still) listen to "real" records?  - vinyl that is. These guys do, and the inspiration from the seventies hard and heavy rock is very, very obvious. If you miss Thin Lizzy and some of the older Deep Purple, go for this one - on some of the tracks the sound and the phrasing in the singing is VERY similar to Thin Lizzy - but done very well, no pathetic rip off here - this really grooves! One of my personal favourite tracks is "No Ones Listening", but there are no real weak numbers on this album, on the other hand maybe no real hits, but everything works fine, and there's no trouble hanging on for the whole album through.

Three of the four members are former members of 3 Inches of Blood, so even if this is the first album of the band, it's people with experience that are behind this music. And it's audible in the composing and playing, no BS, but straight ahead hard rock. The way to go for this kind of music. Well done guys!
