Another short and sweet five track EP from another hopeful 80’s rock band that maybe you wouldn’t give a chance to other than the fact that it was produced by Don Dokken and Jeff Pilson. They also managed to get it released in the UK through Heavy Metal America, which was a relatively new label at the time.
This EP is really quite good and they would go on to release two full length albums after this. It’s not your usual straight up and down mid eighties sound as these guys have some cool grooves and breakdowns in the tunes to make them different, I get what Dokken saw in them. The opening to Caroline has a killer funky bass intro that leads into an awesome riff with an huge guitar sound. Add the big hook and killer harmonies, and it’s a sure fire banger.
Five tracks and I love them all. If you come across a copy, grab it as it’s definitely a diamond in the rough.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
