Information/Write-up

"Good To Me" co-written by band members Tom Horricks and Donald Brown is a sizzlin' psychedelic garage rocker with melodic vocal harmony, incredible guitar throughout including a killer solo, percolating bass, driving rhythm, hot keyboards and excellent lead vocals from Tom Horricks.

"Sound The Alarm" is an odd psych/flower power number with melodic vocals, which resonate oddly against the subject matter which is about people caught in a burning building with lyrics in part; "Sister Sidwell and her brother were found scorched like the sun holding a picture of mom"!

Tom Horricks started piano at the age of 6, acquired Grade Seven Royal Conservatory Music Degree at 12, studied saxophone, clarinet, flute, guitar, harmonica. He had 15 single (45) releases on Columbia, Decca, Gaiety, Soma and Crusader Records. He produced 10 albums (Jarvis Street Revue, Fish on the Wall, Sensational Hot Rods, R. Thomas Kelly, Bill Houston). He produced show with Paul Shaffer, performed and wrote songs with Neil Young, The Plague, The Bonnvilles Sensational Hot Rods, Ronnie & the Comets, Lexington Avenue.
