This is a special album that started off the way a lot of cool albums do - as just a side project for some restless musicians. Since X-Sinner has relegated its AC/DC cloning to a side project tribute band that plays in LA clubs, someone needed to kick out the jams Aussie style. Four guys (Larry Lee Dunbar on drums, Dennis Glasco Jr. on guitar, Matt Davis on bass, and Earl Wayne Davis on vocals) really lay down the grit a la Powerage / Highway To Hell era AC/DC.

These guys lay down a tight groove and had some nice songs in their quiver. 77 man, Mike Roe, produced this album, and he done good. For those who doubt my word, check out their song on this issue's Hard Music Sampler.
