Review:
Religious Fix is the second release (an updated version of Fist First) from the 80's glam band Tuff. The band features Wisconsin native Stevie Rachelle on vocals, who was renowned as looking like a cross between Poison's Bret Michaels and Warrant's Jani Lane.
  The sound on this album runs the gamut from hair metal to very heavy. Personal favorites include "Tied To The Bells", "Rattle My Bones" and "Electric Church". There is also a cover version of the Tennessee Ernie Ford classic "Sixteen Tons".
  Unfortunately, this CD came out in the alternative (yuck) era, I truly think this could have made it in the hair metal era. I'm very happy with it and give Religious Fix two thumbs up!
