[avatar =”Gary” size=”50″ align=”left” /]Having watched this young band live recently ing Fury in Edinburgh, I was suitably impressed with them and their old school NWOBHM style and sound that reminded me a bit of Angelwitch at times. Daniel has a good strong voice with James on Lead guitar having a playing style all his own. They are getting out there more and will soon be on familiar ground again ing those NWOBHM stalwarts Tygers of Pan Tang at Bannermans in Edinburgh on the 6th December. Get along and check them out!

- Daniel Stewart – Rhythm Guitar/Vocals
