This being the better than average debut from a band who were happy to give nods to the likes of Faster Pussycat, Skid Row, G 'n' R, because they too played real sleaze metal. 'Hard To Hold', 'Ez Come Ez Go' and 'Walls Come Down' are all decent enough, shambolic, groove-based hair shaking tunes. Bubblegum sleaze not exactly quaking with weight, but dirty enough to get under your nails. You know what to expect and at the time that was probably the problem as to why bands of this ilk never really made it, just look at Love/Hate, D.A.D., etc, who were all very cool bands who deserved more recognition.
Sincere in its siege upon the local saloon and worth gettin' up for in the morning. Sad however that once again, as we are treated to a sleaze resurgence, it's the original bands who still seem to suffer but deserve more of the limelight than all the pretenders out there today. This rattles like a bag of bones.
6.5/10
