A fairly strange conglomeration of then-popular rock and pop trends, in one package, from the Industrial Midwest (Youngstown, Ohio, to be exact), with a funny-sounding British name, and the misfortune of releasing their one album just before disco took the country by storm. To be fair, there are a lot of good, groovy tunes here – some of on the glam, and some of them on the grumbly, hard rock side – and the lead singer, Dennis T. Menass, was out of the Steve Marriott school of vocalizing. “Bad Talkin’ Lady” – a vicious mix of thuggery and glam – was the single, but they weren’t above poppy, bubblegum stuff like “Mary-Jo”, or a cover of The Beatles’ “Every Little Thing”, either.
