...these young hepster mods had been playin' in an R'n'B band in th'mid 60's when still puttin' in time at th'halls o' learnin'n went through psych to end up progged out boogieheads...totally cool example o' th'2nd generation hard rock riffmongers that played th'cellars'n backrooms of towns all over merrie olde back in th'turn o' th'seven ohs decade...fx pedal madness drives these relentless riffs on eight well groovy tunes from this first effort by these still teenage longhairs...most probably their purest moment when all is considered, th' high point between gettin' th' buzz when they were young'n then bringin' all they knew to fruition, after this its really a case o' tryin' to refine th' sound, not always sucessfully but at least they tried to keep it a bit fresh with ideas that unfortunately didn't always work...really nice ol' fashion stereo useage as a bit o' a bonus...
