The name of this band sounds like a punk/mod band. The cover looks like a swing/jazz band. The first track is kind of a power pop-leaning rock track. The next song has a bit of blues and groove to it. You might notice that there isn’t a drummer listed – percussion and bass are very obviously keyboard driven. But it’s not an electronic band by any stretch – they generally play rock songs, but with limited instrumentation. Overall it does have a major mid-80s AOR feel to it. Which also matches the name and front cover as well. After this, Harris released a 1996 full-length called Choose to Believe with a different (and larger) band.
