What happens if Kevin DuBrow fronted a Starship cover band and they decided to try to write their own songs? 
They would sound like this. 
Synths? Echo drums? This is every bad idea that the 80s are remembered for. I am struggling to describe just how bad this sounds. They end up falling way short of the Bon Jovi mark, which is what they are aiming for. They try for Motley gold with “Down and Dirty” and that’s just atrocious.
