If you close your eyes and listen to this it hard to believe this is not 1970's REO. The lead singer absolutely nailed this.Great performance by everyone in the band.

Wow I’ve watched 5 videos now. The algorithm keeps feeding me more. I’m glad it is! This band reminds me of the kind of quality bands I was privileged to see in local bars in the 70s. (Saw Talas and Billy Sheehan and others so many times back in the day) I feel bad for the younger generation. They are missing out on the fun of going to see a band like this in a bar or at a park. Thanks for keepin the flame alive guys! Keep On Keepin’ On…

Congratulations Matty!! I am an REO Speedwagon fan through and through and I thoroughly enjoyed your VOCALS and the rest of the band nailed Gary Richrath's masterpiece Ridin the Storm Out. Sort of reminds me of Mike Murphy's version, which is a very good (early) version of RTSO. Very talented vocalist, ever thought of kicking Kevin Cronin out...quite a few people, including myself wouldn't mind. He's run his course. Haven't seen or listened to them since the departure of Gary, RTSO, one of his masterpieces.Agree!! Should have a lot more views, real nice job!

Very impressed with the vocals here. I've been working on playing and singing this one and there's no way I can get close to Cronin's voice like the singer here can.

Nice jam guys and you're having fun.
