This is one of the Jersey Shore bands that really should have made it. FM 106.3 played them a lot and that was enough for me. That station knew their music.
Unfortunately, this album is not available online. I was able to find some early live performances of a pair of tracks from the album and a short live set as well. But it's a shame the original album isn't online. It's a gem.
In my book, Beyond the Palace, I interviewed two members of the band: Billy Donahue and Rob Wagner.
