    Here's a collection of biker rock style hard rock by bassist/vocalist Marty Ruckle, featuring the bluesy guitar playing of smalltown guitar hero Steve Spayde. The vocals keep the music from crossing over to hard rock and pop circles, but the playing underneath and the melodic feel of the vocal lines fit the biker genre quite well. The instrumentals, "Dreams of Day One" and "Jammin With Spayde," have some very tasty playing between Marty's bass and Steve's guitar. Parts of the testimonial "Addiction" tune's vocal lines sound similar to that of the classic "Warpigs," only toned down a few notches attitude-wise.
