So… there appears to be some conflicting information about this band. The most reliable sources state that it was a side project of Roxalt members to make a one-off humorous side-project. But there are three demos out there with slightly different track lists. One of those from an unknown date is called Cable-Ready Rock has all of the songs above except “Mars Hill.” The other is a self-titled tape from 1988 that has all five songs above plus three others and a reprise. On this tape, the intro to the first song mentions Evan and Gonz. The sound is kind of Ratt-inspired party metal sound. One source states this as Ratt meets Beastie Boys… but I don’t really see the Beastie Boys part. Some serious lyrics, some silly, some spiritual.
