This four man band hails from Redwood City, California and started out doing cover songs. They did “Crazy on You” by Heart when I saw them last month. When I first heard this act at a local bar I was smitten with their sound and style. I immediately got my hands on their new EP Mannequins that night at the show and it has found a home on my everyday play list since. Not only do they have it together musically, they are talented lyricists as well. They are the only band that is slated to open for Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson for their 2013 Masters of Madness-Shock Therapy tour beginning in June.

The torture of one’s own appearance is the meaning behind “torture” in this track. The vocals in this song are amazing. Layla Brooklyn Allman (daughter of Gregg Allman) really belts it out and has a sound all her own.
