Interview by

If you had to tell someone what your band sounded like, what bands would you mention?
I think if you really give us a close listen you’ll hear Cinderella, Whitesnake, Warrant, Skid Row,
The Cult, Dio, Queensryche and many others for that era.
We are influenced by the hard rock and metal bands from
then.

Your band is from New Jersey. What is the music scene
like there?
To be honest we don’t have much of an original music scene
here anymore. Most of the clubs that hosted original bands
are gone there is no radio support. So it has become a
struggle to even find shows. Every once in a while we will
get a good show together.

What national bands have you played with?
Let’s see Lynch Mob, Faster Pussycat, Raven, Mike Tramp
of White Lion, Lillian Axe, Tuff, Spread Eagle, John Corabi
and Prophets Of Addiction.

What plans do you have for 2016?
Mainly just try to keep going get on some bigger shows
and get some new material together.

Thank you for taking time for this interview and last words to the fans?
I’d like to say we are hard working blue collar guys that really love music. So any support that we
get from fans really does mean the world to us. The idea of this band wasn’t to come up with a
new style of music but just to make good rock/metal the way it used to be the way we love it. So if
you are fond of 80’s music just try us out and I think you’ll enjoy us.
