Van Halen, Sammy Hagar (best singer on the planet), Genesis, K.D.

Sounds Like
Mostly us with a very Post-Modern sound. Influences are apparent in the sound like the Beatles, Van Halen, Police, Queensryche, Ramones, Foo Fighters, Rush, Steely Dan, Genesis, and many others, except with our own imprint on each original song that creates a very Post-Modern Sound. To us, age does not mean if its old or new, it is more an awareness of the music that has already been recorded in the past and trying to do something new.
The Killing Devils record with Turn Left International Inc., and are booked through several national agencies that also books several other famous bands and artists.
World-Class Rock coming to a venue near you and kicking ass with a smile.
