Great band that should have made it. To bad they didn't.

Listening to this album and The Offering.. How did they not become a huge draw? I get that they disbanded but this is quality music and they were touring with Scorpions, Priest, ZZ Top. These two albums might not be on par with some of those bands greatest but it's nearly as good IMO...

I love those two albums. How they didn't make it is a real mystery.

"Let's have a knockdown, dragout, rock n roll party in the streets!"
That song was an anthem during my college days.

A couple days ago I found a vinyl LP of Offering. Haven't spun it yet but when I do it's gonna take me back 30 years.

I've only heard Offering, but it's an awesome melodic hard rock album.

In the late 90's they got back together in studio and re-recorded a couple of albums worth of material with a few new songs. I recommend those albums if you can find 'em, they sounded great.

I bought Offering for a quarter on vinyl several years ago. It was a fun record.
