Anyone know anything about this band or listen to them? Opinions? I've been thinking about checking this out, but I hadn't ever heard of them before seeing their new album for sale at the distro. The songs they have up on their myspace page sound interesting.

I haven't heard them. But their singer David McBee used to live about 30 - 40 minutes from me. I've been meaning to pick up the new cd.

Never heard of them, but that album cover looks vaugely familiar. Almost like a tribute to some classic album or something that I can't put my finger on.

What style do they play? The album cover looks like it would be a power metal or thrash record, but the name looks like it would be a sleaze/glam band with the intentional misspellings.

I thought the same thing, then I noticed that Wargod48 is currently using it as his avatar 'round here. So that's obviously where I've seen it before.

*EDIT* Apparently they're French and have two albums out... found'em on CDBaby... melodic power metal kinda stuff... decent but nothin' I'd kill to own

I own it. It is not bad, but just has not had as many spins as I thought it would.

The band is very talented, the songs are there, and it is nicely recorded/produced, but for whatever reason I do not play it that much. If anything, they have a bit of a mid-eighties hard rock/metal sound akin to Steeler and that ilk. Perhaps it is not a fall/winter album but a spring/summer blaster?

Interesting take on the album. This is pretty much how I felt listening to the samples. It seems like an album that I would enjoy, but I'm just not sure how much play time it would actually get after the first couple of spins. I should probably just focus on albums that will get repeated listens seeing as how I have enough already sitting around that get limited playing time and just take up space.

I've had this since it first came out. It's power metal while it's nothing new it isn't to bad. The band is out of France.

I the cover as my avatar, I've had it there for months.
