100 Best Wedding CD - Import

The five piece from the city that never sleeps, relies on their influences of the past but never forgets that today is a new age in the record industry. Even though their deepest combined passion lies in that of 70's hard rock ( AC/DC, Black Sabbath), 80's metal ( Guns N Roses, Motley Crue) and everything rocking thereafter ( Tool, Foo Fighters), the band is never afraid to delve into other forms of music that are not normally associated with harder music ( reggae, blues, funk, new wave, etc.). They combine this with their optimistically dark, real and raw lyrics to create something that is strangely familiar but new at the same time... STATE OF EMERGENCE takes their listeners on a trip through the hopeful yet skeptical minds of Gotham, who see the beautiful demons of the city they live in and the shadows of the world without. ' A PATHETIC..' is a high energy rocker that compares the revolutions of the past to the dulled down ones of today and ' SPANISH HARLEM', with hints of reggae, tells how drinking with the devil in Hell's Kitchen may find you waking up in the bed of two evil angels.. 'THE WATCHER' and 'SLEEPLESS CITY' bring back the 'in your face' rock n roll we crave while 'DAMN HARD NIGHTS' and 'EPIPHANY' take it down a notch to capture that bittersweet loneliness of life.

MATTY was the drummer in the previous band but decided his heart was on the six string. DANNY called his former roommate, MATTIE VAN BOCKERN, remembering that 'the dude could sing his ass off'.
