Another newcomer from the US that is fond of modern rock sound and bows to bands such as: Nickleback, Buchcherry, Creed, Nickelback, Soundgarden or Staind SevenDust, Halestrom and so on. To tell you the truth… I think they would love to be the next Nickelback or Nickelback themselves. There’s so much similarity at times that you can’t help but think they are another clone of a band that made it big… no matter if they deserve it or not.
 
On the other hand, this is not hard rock music in the least… it’s modern, pop-rock, with some post-grunge elements… or what I like to call gay rock. Not bad though… neither something great as well. It has a big sound as it was produced by Brett Hestla (Dark New Day, Creed, Virgos Merlot) but no personality, originally and inspiration in any part. It’s like the same music formula we hear from so many bands in our time.
 
The album was released in November 2011 in the US but it is only now (August 31th) that it was officially released in Europe. Since, this is only their debut… they gotta grow some personality, put aside the easy “modern recipe” and put down some of their character and creativity to their music… if they wanna go further…
