Full throttled, no compromise, in yer face sleaze soaked rock n' roll. A much needed injection of nitro glycerine, "fuck you" heavy rock with attitude and flair in a dull music scene. Undoubtedly the most dangerous and intense live band in Australia. This is a band for people who like their rock turned to eleven, their sex dirty and their booze flowing!
