[The Rocker]

Just saw that there will be a new Gene The Werewolf release this year.

I enjoyed some songs from them.

[CureTheSane]

The Ballad Of Gene was the standout for me, but some other good tunes were Heart Of Steel, Superhero, I've Got The Love, Ruffneck Woman, Make Love.

 

Normally I avoid bands that lean towards AC/DC but this was different enough for me to really enjoy.
