The origins of this Italian band date from way back in 1998.  It was founded by Matteo Vago who wanted to create a rock band without frills.  After a continuous change of line up, in 2000 the first stable foundation of the band was laid.

How can you describe this band ?  Well, quite easily as a matter of fact.  They play hard rock in the style of AC/DC, but with some classic rock’n’roll and a bit of blues thrown in as well.  So it’s no surprise that at a certain time in their existence they were an AC/DC cover band. After all these years these guys have finally decided to bring out an album with their own material, and they cannot hide who their idol is.  This is great hard rock, and fun to listen to.  The vocals of Matteo Vago are very good, but he has not got the power of Brian Johnsonor the angryness of Bonn Scott, but a fine job he does.

A very nice album, recommended to AC/DC fans worldwide.
