We are the reincarnate of your Led Zeppelin youth with a fresh twist of Pearl Jam, Black Keys, Garbage (the band), Paramore and a generous dash of our own precarious version of modernity sprinkled in. Listeners have said we have a classic feel but are still edgy and fresh with riffs, licks and solos that "kids that age ain't supposed to do" - Shavo (System of a Down) and "these little shredders can shred" - Tom Morello (RATM, Nightwatchman) and "Wow how old are these kids? It's impressive to hear their tight song structure and chugging away of the song. The ability and talent is obviously there with this young pack" Soundhere.com's ANRGIRL monthly critique review by Holly Hutchison, a 24 music industry veteran who has held executive positions in A & R departments at Capitol Records and Atlantic Records.
Bottom Line:
Don't take their word for it, test the waters. Push the play triangle and hear for yourself. Then like us, fan us, tweet us, social network of your choice us, book us.
