This band just rocks – amazing stuff – take a listen to ‘Hike It Up’. I love this band. AOR at its finest. Talented group of musicians. Great hooks and melodies throughout. Bravo.
——————————————————-
“The Rain” demo is better than any of the songs from the debut! One of the best choruses I’ve ever heard. Jean wrote some songs for Kiss together with Paul Stanley. Three of them are actually videos: Thrills in the Night, Who Wants to Be Lonely and Tears Are Falling. He also played bass and guitar in some of those.
——————————————————-
Oh gosh, this is some good hard rock. ‘Dying for love’ is a gem of melodic hard rock, as is the stunning ‘Til the end’. Two outright gems, and ‘The rain’ off the second disc is every bit as good. All songs are stunning; this is a very good band and those three songs are highlights of the genre.

Top Album!!
Here we have a re-release of their first album with a second disc with demos and live tracks along with the remixed version of Are You Ready? which is better than the original IMO. The album rocks and the rare tracks are sure to appeal to fans. Great two disc set.
