Album Review

Reviewed 2007-07-21
Hard rockin’ action from these Maryland doods. There’s a 60’s soul/R&B/white dood blues vibe in the vocals along with the addition of the organ. This sometimes makes it all the more likeable and making you wanna crank this up on a roadtrip. Not great but certainly fun and good to party to. Think Deep Purple, Mountain, Steppenwolf and others playing “2 original members left”, county fair gigs.

((((1)))) Big ass rawk sound, with really catchy with an obvious nod to 70’s arena rock.
((((2)))) Scorchin’, twangy & rockin’ with a surprisingly political bent “You can always tell a terrorist, by his cologne and the watch on his wrist”
(((3))) So-so boogie rawk.
((((4)))) Set the way back machine to 1974, organ laden, fast hard rock with some moody breakdowns.
(((5))) Harmonic based blues-rawk truckin’ vibe. In that r ‘n’ r tradition of “mean mistreater” songs.
((((6)))) Sort of bombastic, early 70’s, loud blues/hard rock combo.
(((7))) Stop/start riffs with a lumbering structure and sort of funky, too.
((((8)))) Loose, kinda like the more straight-up, slow Deep Purple tracks.
(((9))) Country fried hard rock, with silly ass lyrics.
(((10))) Swaggery, fulla “doot-doot-doot-doot” riffs sort of amusing.
(((11))) Classic rawk by way of white dude blues. Not bad for what it is.
(12) Yeesh! too much burned out Southern boogie and not enough rock.
