Strength

CD reissue. Strength is filled with classic rock songs, that go beyond what you would expect of a typical Hard Rock band. Opener 'Heaven Or Hell' shows what great energy this band has. The songwriting combines great pop elements which are hardened up for those who appreciate the great melodies with Derek Frigo's hard n' heavy guitar work. All songs show a band in song writing heaven, driven to extraordinary highs by Donnie Vie's sensational and plaintiff voice. Songs such as 'Heaven Or Hell', 'Holly Wood Ya' and 'Baby Loves You' continues the pop-rock theme from their debut album, but it's deeper, perhaps darker, tracks like 'Mother's Eyes' and the title track that indicate their real genius.
