Reviews: This Boston-area band is composed of members of now-defunct STRANGLEHOLD, which explains the catchy guitarwork and the overall rawness. This band's potential falls short due to the new sound, making a firm stand in the college radio crowd. The power is put aside for a more poppy rockin' sound, which is sad, but comes as no surprise. -Martin Sprouse (from Maximum Rocknroll #34, March 1986)
