Bio

Mid-80s, Anytown, USA...
In high school, did you have a custom car stereo and about 100 cassettes of metal bands in a big case, one of which was always cranked to 10 on the stereo? Yeah, we were those guys, too, and we play the songs you love... iconic songs by bands such as AC/DC, LA Guns, Van Halen, Poison, Dokken, KISS, and more. Let us take you back to the time of big hair, big parties, and even bigger dreams. Without further adieu, meet the boys in the band.
