Ah now this band conjure up the glory days of hard rock from the likes of Whitesnake, Praying Mantis, Statetrooper and the 80's version of Uriah Heep, along with more contemporary bands like Eden and Double Eclipse. They even have a Rodney Matthews cover!

Opener 'Spellbound' hooks into your mind straight away and features some cracking guitar, as does the whole album, courtesy of Keith Harris. 'Nervous Breakdown' (again some very enjoyable guitar soloing) and 'Crying In The Rain' both get the foot tapping, the latter featuring some neat keyboard runs.

Vocalist John Harv Harbinson has a powerful set of lungs and matches the hard rock bombast going on behind him and he does a decent ballad as well as can be heard on 'Stranger Things Have Happened'.

You can tell he fronted a Whitesnake tribute band as the trademark Coverdale 'mmms' and 'yeahs' come through on a couple of songs.

This is well played and crafted classic hard rock, nothing more nothing less and fans of this style of music are in for a treat with this little gem.
