Comments:

The rock and roll bug finally bites Swivek and the result is a 12 song opus through grungy punk styled electronics. Conjuring up Nick Gilder and Blondie and some Tuff Darts and everything in between - BRUISED launched two singles - the guitar bass laden anthem "Who We Are" and the throw back to 70s glam rock "Spastic Valentino." Plus a guitar chomping grunge version of "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" from Grease, the tension mounting electronics of "Not Gonna Get", reggae tinged "Too Wonderful" and full on Benatar mode in "Dangerous Strangers" and just for a little fun, some loungy jazz is thrown into the mix.
