    Here's some Southern rock-influenced material (three song's worth) with very evangelical lyrics. There's some good hooks found, but the production sonics and tendency to run the rhythms into the ground keep the tape from really kicking butt. The token ballad, "Bring Me Back," although written with a good, honest message, seems just that--a token song with little passion in the delivery. Given a boost of youthful energy and decent production, this four-piece could create some serious boogie rock. For ordering info, write: PO Box 7449, Omaha NE 68107.
