How many Youngs are there? 

This is another Young. Steve. You know his uncles. From the Easybeats. 


Well, yes.


But also that other Metal band. Which he joined in 2014. 


Man. I know there was a terrific documentary about The Bee Gees recently but the world needs a doc about the Young family. So important to the pantheon of Rawk!


This is a pedestrian metal record. But it reminds me that the world is filled with them. The band The Answer opened for AC/DC when I saw them a ~decade ago. Remember them? Nope. But they served their purpose. Someone’s gotta open for the gods. And, if they made a few fans, maybe they get on the hamster wheel.


This album is perfectly acceptable 80s metal.
