This track from these newcomers opens with a touch of feedback, a small snare roll and then a blistering power chord. After a break, the crunch guitars come back in with plenty of bite and palm-muted chords, accompanied by a good rock voice. The lyrics are incidental.

Personally I would have cranked up the drums a bit more, to equal the levels of the guitars. However, this is still a power rock song that the likes of A might have come up with.

Does anybody remember Living Colour? Their song Leave It Alone is paid homage to towards the end of this single (perhaps unintentionally). The B-sides are in a similar vein, and also pretty cool.
