Anyone familar or willing to try this great Los Angeles band?

Probably my favourite rock n' roll band of the 00's. They are everything that was great about Cheap Trick, The Sex Pistols and Sweet all rolled into one.

Their songs from their debut should of been topping the charts and blaring out of your radio in the summer of 2000.

Great melodic Thin Lizzy like guitar's coupled with brilliant hooky power pop melodies. But these are not the usual Beatles like melodies you come to expect their more irresistible blinding neon orange popsicles.

They released a second album in '05 which was great but not as good as the debut which has over the years built up a huge cult following amongst the more sugar minded rock n' rollers.

.....Anyway at the moment they are kind of in hiding planning their comeback to finally take over the airwaves like they deserve to with their brand of infectious glam power pop punk hard rock n' roll.

Their debut blew me away! Not a bad song on the disc and as stated some insane hooks and guitar work! Agreed on the second CD. Good, but not the calibre of the first. Honorable mention is the EP that has some interesting cover tunes...

I couldn't get into them, but never gave the second disc a spin at all.

I'll be on the look out for that one, looks great.

I'm sure their cover of the Backstreet Boys rocks. Those kinda songs are begging for a hard rock makeover. Laughing

I remember downloading a few of their songs from Napster back in the day along with songs from 40 Ft Ringo!
