    As pub/club cover bands go they are decent enough,they play a decent mix of rock music.

    Very good rock band. They've been doing the pub/club circuit for years. As well as doing lots of cover versions, they do have two albums of mostly original material.

    First one was called "On The Line", and the second one was called "The Unreleased".

    Their lead guitarist is pretty handy as well.

    I haven't seen them but if they have managed to set themselves apart from all other cover bands, then fair play to them. I have heard of them a few times before alright.

    Of their own songs, "King" and "Don't Walk Away" are the best. Brilliant rock ballads.

    Just wondering - do they play the song Big Generator by Yes? I'm guessing that's where they got the name. ;)
