Sounds LikeAll of us love the pop music and were prominently involved in the 1980-90s music scene. Hence, our sound reflects the sound of those years, yet we're always adding flecks of this and that we love and continue to rock and/or roll, depending on the song's subject. If you're a musician, you'll never be able to stray away: this is a warning!!

Thank you for the kind words. While I'm here I'm supposed to find a band to record for 20 hours/2 songs. The time will end up being free for the band. Let me know if maybe your band would be interested.
