Review:
To put it quite simply, I LOVE this band! Singer Spike is a Rod Stewart sound a like. Songs such as "7 O'Clock", "Sex Party" and "Long Time Comin'" have a harder edge. The very moving ballad, and highest charting single, "I Don't Love You Anymore" is excellent.
Catchy songs, fun attitude and a good bluesy/hard rock sound are abundant on this album. Even though the band had minor success stateside with A Bit Of What You Fancy, they should have been huge. This CD gets two thumbs up from me!
