So this was apparently recorded in 1982, but never released. Then transferred from cassette to CD and released in 2021. The tape starts off kind of as a heavier power pop band. After that they come across as a hard rock band with a bit fuzzier guitars – but never really getting into the metal realm in style or heaviness. The CD bonus tracks include several live tracks, which also includes covers of things like U2, Daniel Amos, and a parody of… The HeeHaw theme? Apparently these were the only recordings they made before the band split up and its members went their separate ways.

Missing Information: Who was in the band?
