When I turned sixteen, Mark Mansfield threw a party for me at his parents’ house in the Hollywood Hills and my band was all set to play.

I did a few lines just before we went on and I could hardly…
This is a 12 song CD, released on Popular Records in 1996 by this 5 piece band. All but one of these songs are over 4 minutes long. Odd style of hard rock in the blues vein (read: Bryan Adams and Lynard Skynard) but more musical. Great guitar riffs combine with a gruff voice to make a rough sounding set of songs. The songs are very well written and very…
