well, well ...
The music i heard from him so far wasn't really my cup of tea, but we'll see. Interesting band line-up, though!

Worth checking out as far as I am concerned. They sound very West Coast, Toto-esque even - which is hardly surprising given the Toto genes, but I quite like bit of that on occasion.
Speaking of Toto, WHAT a live band they were back in the day. I saw them at Hammersmith in the 80s and they blew the roof off; the crowd went absolutely berserk that night. The late Jeff Porcaro threw me his towel at the end of the show - extremely sodden it was too! It still resides in a box in the loft. Perhaps one day they will be able to recreate him from the genetic material that must still be in the fibres. He was a great drummer, not sufficiently recognised despite being the backbone to some of the most popular tracks in history.
Anyway, I digress. Shame they're not doing any dates in the UK. Shame Toto aren't come to that, but then again I'd probably prefer to remember them at their peak.

They have three singles on Spotify, I hope they do some covers.

The third one was released today. As mentioned in our news (see link in first post) a new album / their first is finished waiting to be released. Would make a lot of sense to get this out before the shows.

It's not bad, but it's not great. There's too much Nickelback about that for my liking. Good drumming 😃

At the end of the day. We are Genesis fans. And Nic played with them but The Effect simply might have a different idea how to make music
It's not very good and orignal despite the good drumming.

I won't write them off on the basis of one song!
