| These guys aren't bad at all. It was about half good and half filler if I remember correctly. I suggest fans of glam check it out. I know the German flag is posted, but I was thinking they were Swiss. Anyone know for sure?

| Tim, I wouldn't consider these guys as glam band!!!!.....they are very melodic, lots of keys, killer guitars and big choruses with full harmony backups. The CD was released in Germany, but, I'm not certain if the band is from Switzerland or Germany.

| Tim, the CD was released in Germany, however, I'm not sure if the band is actually from Germany or Switzerland as there's no information on the CD itself to indicate. Also, I wouldn't consider them to be glam......very melodic band with lots of big keys, killer guitars and some fantastic choruses with huge harmony backup vocals.

| Well, the one who submitted it considered it glam. I think I did as well if I remember right. Been a while since I've actually listened to it.

| I submitted this, and trust me, it was a tough call. I mean, at times, this band sounds like a glammed-up German version of Ratt or Julliet ("Cat's Go Pussy" for example). Other tracks experience serious keyboard overloads while hopelessly swerving into the same oncoming traffic as releases by Scorpions, VAN or EZ Livin'. I guess what I'm tryin' to say is this is "all over the map". I've heard this band compared to China and KC Rose as well, which goes to prove my point.

| Glam, melodic hard rock, hair-metal...call it what you will, but this is some pretty cool stuff, loaded with hooks, catchy choruses, and good backing vocals. Fans of Concrete Jungle, Jax, Daddy Dynamite, and bands of that nature should pounce on this one like a starving tomcat pouncing on a big fat rat.

| You know, I've just bought it and can't wait to put it in my collection. What a pleasant surprise-this CD has everything:keys, great guitars, choruses, the vocals department is close to perfection IMO. Get it if you get a chance-my advice.

| Good mix of Glam/Hard Rock and Metal from this Swiss band. Very similar to Scorpions, Ratt, Dokken, Concrete Jungle, Cannon and Julliet. Some killer songs mixed with a few fillers. My fave songs are Heavy Metal Dynamite, Dreamer and Bad Bad Boys. Worth checking out. Rated 8/10.

| There's a lot better and a lot worse out there. A lot of good band names thrown around above, but please don't expect this to be on par with any of those bands. I admit that it does sound a little like some of them at times, but IMO it's a pretty inferior effort. A few cool tracks around the beginning of the CD, but like Tim said initially, there are just as many, if not more fillers. Not essential by any means, IMO.
