Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily leaning into the gritty, riff-driven boogie-rock popularized by AC/DC, the Swiss quintet achieved major international success with this hard-hitting effort. 'One Vice at a Time' features the enduring radio staple 'Long Stick Goes Boom', perfectly capturing the raw, sleazy energy of the era's emerging heavy metal consciousness. It cemented their status as formidable contenders in the booming European and American hard rock markets.
