Reviews & Discussion

Review by Crijevo Jan 02, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Both the public and critics alike might call them the new 'Queen' but personally I don't think they are either that or anything already out there from Aerosmith, Poison, Guns, Europe, later-Status Quo or Kiss that this group of retro-trendies have more in common with. Rock music for parties once you're drunk enough (and wishfully with long hair) praying the DJ won't play anything softer - groovy, yes; appealing, try with above groups. Especially Queen.
