Reviews
''Classic Rock n' Roll, but with a 21st century twist.
These boys from Bellshill are definitely going places... Its old school rock and roll here folks, with a mix of blues and unrestricted writing. These guys don’t hold back in their lyrics. Basically they are catchy, captivating and blooming good fun, a breath of fresh air. They definitely have potential. Their local papers support them and the turn out for their gig was pretty impressive. Everyone was dancing towards the end of their set. They are relentlessly working towards higher plateaus and will most definitely get there if they keep this kind of performance up.''
