What comes around goes around... so goes the sound of the early 80's LA sound. The Stript brings back those elements of the Hollywood Glam days with some down and dirty rock n' roll. They stay away from the rock n' roll cliches' from that era and actually have some pretty good lyrics. What they do lack is a bit of a punch or spark. The songs are really damn close to being special, and at times do have some really good parts, but at other times they drag a bit. I hate the word "potential", but that's about where we're at. I hear a lot of talent and style here so that's a great foundation to build from. Fans of this Glam style should have this for their collection, I expect this band will go onto some bigger stuff soon.
