Album Notes & Community Reviews

Not to be confused with the British supergroup of the same name, this American hard rock outfit from South Dakota independently released a soaring, guitar-driven effort. 'Armed to the Teeth' straddles the line between melodic AOR and ambitious progressive rock, later gaining cult status among obscure classic rock collectors.
