Yet another sleaze glam band from California that only managed to release one album and then just fade into the twilight. Epic obviously believed in the band as they roped in mega knob twiddler, Beau Hill to sit behind the desk and do what he does best. Coming across a bit like Britney Fox, but these guys are much better, they just never had that one song to ride the album on. They released a version of Love Potion #9 as a single, but that failed to catch. The only member of the band you maybe familiar with is Mike Terrana on the drums who has gone one to drum with seemingly everyone, Yngwie and Rage to name but two.
My attention is always drawn to guitars and in Brian Young and George Bernhardt they have two killer players. Side 1 of the album is loaded with three bangers straight away and the record company were obviously really trying here. Shake It, Goodbye Rosie, and Gimme Lovin’ are all killer songs and I would have released Gimme Lovin’ as a single because it’s the obvious choice. Yup, there’s ballads but there’s enough rockin’ tunes to more than make up for that. My favourite track is Shake It. It sums up that whole period really, a fun good time track with a great riff and a huge hook and chorus.
There are too many one album bands that just vanished, but I think these guys deserved a lot more.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
