First time I have heard them...not bad, nice clean sound. Like the inclusion of other instruments, like the harmonica, that took my by surprise....but i miss the keyboards... got a big thing for keyboards ..lol
But i must be careful, the last time i was on here somebody mentioned 'Nightwish' and i ended up spending $150 on downloads...ARRRGHHH .. I feel another dent in my visa card coming on....lol
