"Just Visiting Part 1"
(Little Samurai Records) 

I don't know, in their bio, it states that their genre is "hard progressive rock." Well, I won't argure with them, but, I don't see the progressive part in these songs. Okay, so a few vocal parts reminded me a bit of Journey. But, I was reaching there. There's a local band in my area that I would compare them to and the thing with that is this...that local band is considered to be an alternative band, maybe even "college rock" to a certain degree. Again, I don't know. With a playing time of just under 25 minutes and only five songs, I don't think this release shows the full potential of this band. I mean, after giving it a listen, I couldn't come to you and say, okay, this is what they're doing or this is what they can do. I think you'd have to hear more in order to form a more reliable opinion. http://www.littlesamurai.net http://www.tpa.net.au/artist/cog
