These boys deliver some attitude and aggression...enough to get your head moving, but not enough to get your whole body involved -- know what I mean? This band is hot. They take an intelligent approach to some of their lyrics, like "Take Me In," a song about a woman who takes in a wounded snake, restoring its health; only to have it get well and bite her, saying, "Oh tender woman/ When you took me in/ You knew I was a snake." The band's got a good bite, too. Musically, they need a little more growth; but they show some real promise.
