A short lived outfit whose straight-ahead hook heavy pop metal came too late in the glam movement to make any sort of splash. Their only album was an unoriginal affair, but rocked from start to finish with the same flair as early Van Halen.
Formed in Memphis, Tennessee, by Todd Poole (vocals), former Atlanta Guitar Institute members Sid Fletcher (guitar) and Josh Weil (bass), and scotty t (drums, who was touring the country with a Memphis blues band at the young age of fourteen).
Even an album produced by Mike Clink, sporting an outrageous cover and the debut single “Rob The Cradle” claiming “the one-take track, recorded live to tape with no edits, no dubs, no breaks, no shit,” couldn’t make the group stars. The group broke up shortly after, never to be heard from again.
Singer Todd Poole went on to play drums for Josie Wales and Saliva for a time. Guitarist Sid Fletcher is now a successful general dentist in Georgia with two practices. He is married and has two kids. Truman who will be three in August and Grace who was born this past September 30th. |
