Released in ’89, the band were put together from a mixture of different LA bands to form a group with a similar attitude to Guns & Roses – or so the press wanted us to believe. Definitely a barroom vibe to the whole band with that hint of sleaze and southern groove. In fact, Molly Hatchet’s Duane Roland plays on one song.
It’s on the up-tempo numbers that gets my interest, like opening track Blooze and the excellent Shot In The Dark which is a real feel-good-its-Friday type of rocker. In fact, you can add Motorhead to their influences, as Side 2 opener Life Sentence seems to steal a very familiar riff.
Nothing groundbreaking here, just good old good time rock n roll.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
