    Best described as Nirvana meets Tragedy Ann, with a few Soundgarden and Grammatrain similarities, this less-than-aptly named project decidedly falls into the hard rock/grunge category, and I like it a whole lot, but not just for that reason. It just has an aura about it that's simply laid-back, with an underlying hardcore-esque urgency with which the aforementioned bands were/are blessed. Modern metal at its gritty, passion-filled best. To order, send $5 to: John Betz, 9307 Hollis Ct Blvd, Queens Village NY 11428
