Reckless, hard driving rock and roll via Mike Martino’s crashing drums, Corey Buckingham’s thumping bass lines and Rod Eymael’s & Chris Wagner’s cranking guitars come blaring out of my speakers like a freight train out of control. Punching up the proceedings are Wagner’s fiery vocals that set fire to these 10 well-penned tunes . No one rocks out anymore. Everything has got to make a statement, or worse, some pussy boy band has to tell you about the girl he digs at the coffee shop, while R&B chicks are rapping about giving away some booty if the karats are big enough. I say screw all of that! Give Topheavy the stage and let them throw some gasoline on a few songs... that’ll heat the place up! Rock and roll never sounded better.
