Bassist Jorge Laplume, from Havana, Cuba, with his latin roots coupled with a steady diet of the rock groups The Who and Free, brings a bass sound that is both funky and thunderous.
The combination of the versatility of backgrounds and personalities of these veteran players is what makes their sound so unique.

These albums are both memorable and moving with stories ranging from adolescence to adulthood that will touch each listener's heart. Give this music your full attention; you will undoubtedly relate so closely with a song or two, you just may feel as though it was written specifically for you.
Here is what the critics are saying :
There is some exceptional music here. The sound of this really channels a lot of old school classic rock textures, but at times brings some modern elements to it. I really like this album a lot. There are no bad songs here at all. I would say that it might be a stronger album if it were a bit shorter, though. All that said, it's darned good as it stands, so why quibble?
G. W. Hill Music Street Journal
The kind of commercial classic rock that doesn’t make hipsters feel self conscious for liking this stuff, the voice, the tunes and the moves all merge into a swell stew of the
rock we grew up with and still think is out there.

For these, it’s recommended that a towing service be called, but when towing isn’t an option, we can send a repairman out to the site for analysis and light repairs.
