The were originally from Spokane, Wa. I used to go to high school with the original drummer. Also they had a different lead singer than Darren. My buddy lived at Darren's house before he joined Kidd Robin. They first had a 3 song demo cassette that was sold locally in 1990 with the original lineup. Good stuff. When the dinasour monster album came out later the lineup had changed. That cd is okay. I had it for a while and sold it. You can occasionally find it at the local pawnshops from time to time. The only songs I liked were the songs that were on their old 3 song demo but just redone with the new lineup. The comparisons to Queensryche I think are completely wrong. To me they are not as heavy. The are more like White Lion to me. Melodic hard rock, and okay at best. I certainly wouldn't pay big bucks for it.
