Where are you based?
Canton, Ohio

How long have you been making music?
As a band, we have been playing for 24 years together. Individually, if we add up the years, we have 100+ years of experience playing.

What genre would you consider your music to be?
Rock – Melodic Rock – 70’s/80’s Style
What inspired you to pursue a career in music?
If we did choose, it happened so long ago that none of us remember. However, we tend to feel that this was never a choice. We all love music and entertaining the crowd.

What are your biggest musical influences?
Musical influences depend upon what is being constructed at the time and who is constructing it! Our influences are so varied that it’s almost impossible to tie down. We run from classical to heavy metal and everything in between. If you’re asking who we sound like, we sound like Culture Shock (US).

Are you signed to a label or are you an independent artist?
Independent Artist in partnership with Independent Record Label (Knight Stalker Records, LLC)

What have been the biggest challenges in your music career?
It might be easier to list the things that aren’t a challenge to our music career. We have always thought of ourselves as the new “Spinal Tap”. It seems like everytime something good was “about to happen” some sort of nonsense kicked in and we were dancin’ round “a monument in danger of being trampled by a dwarf.”

How many songs or albums have you released to date?
1 Album “Celebrity” released in 2010 + an album that is half completed “Stop and Hear the Music” total of 18 songs released thus far.
Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?
Forbidden Fruit was written by the drummer, Doug Rozenek, around the year 2000. It’s got an early 70’s style groove. It asks the age old question; Am I wasting my time?

Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?
We are currently mixing the final songs on our 2nd album “Stop and Hear the Music”. The next single release is scheduled to be “Workin’ for the Man”.
