The bands style is unique, yet contains
clear rock influences from bands like Led Zeppelin and The Stones to
Queen, with heavy influences from today’s successful bands like Him,
Queens of the Stone Age, No Doubt and Muse. The resulting mix is a breathtaking
kaleidoscope of classically influenced modern rock.
The band have clocked up over 120 gigs
to date, including Carling Academies, Mean Fiddler, Hard Rock London
& Birmingham, The Underworld The Barfly Aberdeen And London, Bannermans
Edinburgh, Engine Rooms Brighton, Rock City Nottingham, Gibson Guitar

Rios Bradford, Little Civic Wolverhampton, Oxford Zodiac, Robin 2 Bilston,
Barfly Birmingham, Edwards No 8 Birmingham, Cox’s Yard Stratford-upon-Avon,
Marrs Bar Worcester. Basically the band have played the length and Breadth
of the UK and firmly established themselves with the major and regional
press and radio. They have also done a number of very successful support
slots with the likes of Whitesnake, Glenn Hughes, Blue Öyster Cult and
Ricky Warwick (The Almighty), Breed77 and McQueen to name just a few.
They are regulars on the news pages
