This hardrock/southern rock band from Edmonton, Kentucky started out in 2001 and began recording in "The Kentucky Headhunter's" old studio, in which they had used since 1968. Singer Robertson and drummer Young has known eachother since the age of 5. This album is their debut and from the beginning they focus on heavy riffing, strong whiskey-vocals, blistering guitar solos and melodic songs with an attitude perfectly suited for live performances, and that I can say because I saw them at the Getaway Rock Festival i Gävle, Sweden in 2012. Not a foot or head were still for a second! They have also been related to Southern Rock and, yes maybe that's not all wrong but more so this is a band of bone crushing riffs and party rock'n'roll of the new age. It's a really good album that I can highly recommend! Reese Wynans from Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble is guesting on two songs. Cool since SRV is one of my favorite artists all time.
