I can't believe no one's talking about this here (in case I'm wrong, let it be known that I did use the search function)! This is gritty, melodic, dynamic, and CATCHY blues-hard rock with some of the finest songwriting I've heard in a while. Kind of like a cross between Brother Cane and Great White, I suppose. The debut album, Badlands, came out on Tues. This is on my roster for next month. Moving, soulful stuff from the UK.
The music video for the first track of the album (originally filmed for the EP last year):
Song premiere; this one is an earworm:
And a power ballad:
Album's on Amazon!

Right on! Let us know how it is as a whole. Sucks having to wait for payday to get this.
This has potential, but I want to hold off a little.
These guys had a nice article about them in Classic Rock a little while back that got my interest. However, I've been sucked into that tractor beam before and bought a few albums that didn't live up to the hype.

SOLD OUT. EVERYWHERE. I'm pissed. Guess I'm gonna have to get this off of ebay. Anyone know of an alt source? 'Sore?

Four copies available now for $3 apiece. Tons of other great album there, too. Most are cheap, you just gotta dig for them. The guy who runs it doesn't really know what belongs in the Metal section and whatnot. Don't be afraid of the Scratched CDs section, either. I've bought dozens from those sections and most aren't scratched at all; they're just not brand new.

Just noticed I originally titled this thread "Cage OF the Gods." Corrected.
It's a really good album, worth the money (especially a couple bucks lol). There's some occasional missteps here and there, such as the second song veering into awkward pop territory. But you get a lot of great influences here--one song even has a cool Thin Lizzy vibe that sticks in your head. Not one the best CD's of the year, but certainly one of the most enjoyable.
