Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the Stevenage rock scene, this quintet blended tough, heavy blues riffing with complex, keyboard-driven progressive structures on their sole full-length release. Despite its commercial failure, the dark, conceptually ambitious songwriting has cemented the record as a notable artifact of the British underground transition period.
