Pretty straight forward blues/roots/rock here on this debut album from New York based band founded by Petter Ericson Stakee (vocals, guitar), John Ericson (organ) & Terry Wolfers (bass). All were raised in England and made the move to the states although they spend time in both. Some other band members picked up along the way. Looks like a 5 piece in the live clips. Album was released in the U.K. back in September but just now getting to U.S. Not too shabby for a debut, with an outstanding final track. If you like Kings Of Leon, you'll like this.
