Bio:

Def Leppard-ish pop metal originally known as Stateside, managed by boyband svengali Louis Walsh. Signed to London Records and not without talent but destined never to be take seriously by anyone except poodle metal fans. Original vocalist Connor McKeon later turned up in the Mama's Boys.

Paul Smyth's father Pat had a #1 single in Ireland in 1966 as Pat Smyth and The Johnny Flynn Showband with "Black & Tan Gun" (Emerald MD 1033)

"Operated at the unfashionable pop end of the hard rock genre but they had the songs, harmonies, and undeniable 'presence' and solidarity of a real band"
