I would have never guessed this band came from Italy, until I started reading the available info about them, and noticed their names. Seems this band originally formed back in 2002, but only found this line up in 2010. Their debut album ‘Night Tales’ was released in 2012, so this is their second full album on the Atomic Stuff label.

Their music is a quite complex amalgam of Southern Rock, mixed with some blues and some grunge.  And I admit falling for their music, despite not being a grunge fan. But luckily the dosis of grunge is not too heavy, and not even interwoven in each song.  There’s even some melodic American rock in there, h-just check out ‘(S)he’s So Amazing’. A highly appreciated second album, for which these guys deserve some attention in other countries if you ask me. 

95/100
