The 2 guitar solos in " Love is only a Feeling " are so damn good

Agreed. That Queen influence is showing there, and in the backing vocals too.

They are coming here to kc kinda want to go to the show

Never saw 'em, but based on the live clips I've seen, they look like it'd be a fun show to check out.

First album had 4 or 5 really good songs. Lost track after that. I kind of dug them. Damn, that Southern Trains video is bizarre as hell, but the song is good.

I lost track, too. They kinda became an afterthought in the US, it seems, but apparently they've been chugging along. I listened to Last Of Our Kind the other week (thanks, Amazon Prime), and I enjoyed it alot, so I ordered that and Hot Cakes, along with the pre-order for the new album. Still like the debut...it was nice to see a new band (at the time) come along and show no shame playing old-school rock, with guitar solos and all...
