Every time I hear these guys I’m amazed at how talented they are at such a young age. Jake and Danny especially. They are right up there with the greatest musicians. Danny is going to be, if not already this generations equal to Bonham. And Jake is so good and different that it’s hard to compare him to anyone. They are freaking amazing!!

First time I’ve heard these guys and I was actually quite impressed. The opening guitar chord sequence sounded great, (nice feel) it was clean and honest with no frills. I read where (early on) they’ve played biker bars but had to stay outside between sets (because of their age). With their determination to play better venues (now in their favor) all their hard work is now reaping the rewards of earlier struggles. Fresh new rock talent, not to be ignored.
