    Here's some simple "live to two-track" recordings by a decent outfit from Modesta, California with a penchant for good hooks. Take the melodic angle of a Dokken and mix it with the gothic layering of Barren Cross (this recording was done at ex-BC drummer Steve Whitaker's church) and you might get an idea of what this band is like sonically. Stylistically, it's party rock along the lines of Rage of Angels, but without the edge. The tape's ballad came off best, while "Never Let You Go" has good leads as well.
