Not to be confused with the Canadian band of the same name who recorded an album called Heart Of Steel. These guys are from New York, and this album originally appeared in ´87 and was produced by Jay Jay French and Mark Mendoza from Twisted Sister.
They have lots of riffs and grooves that you swear you have heard before, it’s all very familiar. They are competent musicians that’s for sure, and Bob Gam is a decent guitar player with a great tone but they just don’t have that killer tune. The best of the bunch are Nitty Gritty which has a huge AC/DC vibe, Crazy Over You which is Kiss around the Animalize period, and the best for me is Holdin’ On which is a hidden power pop gem.
If I’m being honest, it’s not a bad album and it has some memorable moments.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
