| Great band, and worth checking out! Got the cd off Napster, but still looking for an original!

| Just another pretnder trying to break into the then overcrowded world of pop metal. Better than you'd expect for an indie band, but nothing exceptional.

| Wow!! I casn't believe this CD didn't get flushed like the personnel of this band! Talk about lame west-coast-wannabe's!! These guys sound just like they look! Totally lame as a llama!!

Date: February 5, 2003 at 2:33 |
| This is far from lame, actually I'd say it's quite opposite. This is one of the most exultant CDs that I've ever listened to. This album is most definitely in my top 10 of all time If you like Skid Row, Heavens Edge, Dirty Rhythm you'll love this CD. Most highly recommended. Metal 4 Life

| First off, this CD SOUNDS incredible. From a production standpoint, it's right up there with any of the major releases from back in the day. Backing vocals as big as the hair on their heads. Musically, 4 guys = 8 feet = 1 ass seriously kicked. That's right, these guys are BETTER than Heaven's Edge. Also similar to Babylon AD, XYZ, Skid Row (good call, METAL 4 EVER), Firehouse, etc. Relentlessly good, i.e. rocks from start to finish. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED hair metal with very high octane content!!!

| I agree-GREAT Sounding CD! Get this one if you are a fan of the late 80's, early 90's sound. These guys should have made it big, just not the right connections probably. A must have! NO filler here!

| Well the ROXXI reunion looks like it wont be happening in this life time.....SAD TO SAY. Some of the guys 'don't want to take a step back' and seem to think the band sucked and feel a little ashamed.... WHAT EVER!!! As for SPITSHINE, Well thats over too. Long over due. So if ya know of a band out there local in the MA area, this Bass player is looking for a cool gig ( or lead vocals as well, i do that too) To all, thanks for the support over the years!!!!

| First off, let me say I love this kinda stuff. Hooky commercial rock with a metallic edge. Great vocals, great hooks, but... the guitarist is a real talented technical player don't get me wrong, but a lot of the solos, although fast and clean sound like they're being played to a different song. That being said, I still like it, for an indie it's phenomenal.

| Good Hard Rock album, merito al ser un album independiente Hard Rock con toque melodico por momentos, este es como un cruce de Heaven's Edge, Danger Danger, Firehouse(ojo un cruce, de mas esta decir que los 2 primeros son de nivel superior 'Grandes Bandas', no puedo decir lo mismo del tercero ya que ese grupo no se encuentra en una liga como esa lo cual no quiere decir que no sea buena sino en un escalon menos), al final este es un muy buen disco que sabra a gloria a amantes de bandas asi 8/10.

Very interesting album by this indie hard rock act...the album starts with an excellent track,the one that gives the album a title 'Drive It To Ya Hard' then 'Wild Child' is an awesome number,became an instant fave along with 'Give It To Me','Wasted Love' is a highlight,'Searchin' For The Light' is another fave and 'Fire In My Heart' which is the AOR-ish number is basically the 'song' of the album (at least 4 me)..good vocals and pretty good musicianship!...buy!.90/100.

| To mock Randy Jackson of American Idols fame, "Yo, Roxxi rawks, dawg!" The production quality is immaculate for an indie band and the songs themselves are slick commercial hard rockers remarkably reminiscent of Poley-era Danger Danger. So many collector-coveted indies aren't worth even close to the price they fetch, but this one is worth whatever it takes to acquire a copy. Take the spirit of the '80s, merge it with some polished guitars, incorporate a hellaciously huge helping of hot hooks, combine it all with catchy choruses, and then heap on the harmony vox and you've got yourself a winner. This is one of those CDs that any fan of that late '80s melodic hard rock sound will listen to, nod approvingly, and exclaim, "Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout right there!" Hard to find, but well worth the hunt.

| I recently stumbled on the video to the title track of this album by complete accident on YouTube recently, came here to check the comments on the album then went looking for the CD. Sadly it commands a reasonably high price of between £60 - £150 which is way more than I would ever pay for a CD. By some kind of miracle though I found one person selling a copy for £20 so jumped on that one without a second thought. Got the album this morning and have spun it a few times already today. What I can say is that a lot of the comments here are spot on, this is a great hard rock album and a mostly overlooked gem of the era. That said, nothing they do is original and I certainly would not say there are many "huge hits" on this, so it is kinda understandable it slipped under the radar. Sometimes though it is not about the big hit style songs, and where this wins is in its consistancy. Every song on here is great, and the musicianship is stellar. Worth a punt if you can get it cheap enough.

| it s always interesting to discover unknow bands for me, after comments on this site.all comments are excellent so i ve listen all this record on you tube.i can say that the guitar player is amazing.classic but great riffs and solos.but...the singer is average not more and the songs don t hooked me cause the choruses are not catchy.except track 8 "searching for the light" the best song of the record with a really good and catchy choruse.the rest is a bunch of good hard songs but all these songs have nothing special,nothing extraordinary.it s not a surprise if this band don t find a deal with a big company.in u s a there one thousand bands at the same level.
