“Some furious and well orchestrated kick drum patterns lead by a powerful driving lead vocal”
“There is a real freshness and sense of energy in their music that distinguishes it as something special”
-Ashley Neal, Surface Unsigned (Semi-Final)

"a band who play a brand of female fronted old-school heavy metal" "lead-singer Rachel’s voice is certainly powerful. Boy, that woman’s got lungs."
-Josie Allchin, Oxfordshire Music Scene Magazine

"Hard and heavy vocally driven Rock, it’s an intense and exciting sound" "confident and charismatic stage presence"
-Stephen Hudyba, Surface Unsigned Round 1.

The band was started in May 2006 by drummer Brian and vocalist Rachel. They began writing together and by October 2006 had 12 tracks completed. By June 2007 they were working with bassist Steve & guitarist Andy. Mixing the different influences of the four of them (inc. Neil Peart, Steven Tyler, Ali McMordie, and Joe Perry), with some shared favourite bands (inc. Aerosmith, Metallica, and Skunk Anansie) they created their own unique sound.

In March 2008 they did their first gig at The Port Mahon in Oxford, and since then have continued to gig regularly in and around Oxfordshire. In March 2009 they finished professionally recording their debut CD 'Inner Reflection', and in August 2009 they placed 2nd in their Semi-Finals round of the national Surface Unsigned Festival.
