a cool mellow rock sound....catchy with some nice little riffs running in the background. you
can tell these guys know their stuff, they're talented musicians.....time that i forgot is
laid back and it's good...can see why it's getting airplay. other songs on the prerelease cd
....some way cool guitaring on top cat....get a little more rockin' on barn owl....
had a laugh at the lyrics....about a girl's outta control hairdo....worth the download people...give
the songs a listen! the d.j. lauria band are definitely good.....have a feeling they'd make an excellent
live band.......dj lauria on guitar really stands out when he lets go.....a mellower rock sound with a
country/bluesy flavour.....we recommend!
