From the word go SBM launched into their not unaccustomed pounding rock 'n' roll avalanche. Thumping bass and drums accompanied by merely adequate guitar (gone are the times when that guitar was really heard to screech?).

Sprinkled through this set of freshly cut ditties were the senescent offerings from their previous vinyl, 'Good And Gone'. These were apparently chosen to be in keeping with the more up-tempo feeling of the set, and thus included, 'Someone To Talk To', 'Happy Home', and 'Tracking The Dog'.

It was near impossible to catch any of the titles of the new songs, though I believe that 'Holiday Head', 'Your Heart Beats Of Merchandise'1, and the soon-to-be-released new single, 'Twin Cadillac Valentine', were among them. They run along the same vein as earlier compositions so, if you were enamoured by 'Good And Gone', expect more of the same macho heavy metal posing as the '80s rock.
