    If you were a fan of The Lead, then Julio Rey (lead guitarist) and his new band, Frank's Enemy, have a new five song tape for you to sink your teeth into.

    The music is similar to The Lead, only a bit more bizarre. During "Reasons to Say Know," my cat kept looking at the speakers with her ears turned toward them 'til she ran out of the room. There are sounds on the tape that I've never heard before.

    The lyrics are in-depth and very thought provoking. "The gate to your Heaven so wide even Hitler can get in, because in your world there's no such thing as sin" (from "You are God").

    There is definitely some originality here, but keep an open mind while listening. If not, you might not get past the first song. For ordering info, write: POB 523899, Miami FL 33152-3899.
