      Pretty much.

      The guy who slagged us off loved a European power metal band.

      It's kind of ok...available in WH Smith and places like that...covers most styles of rock and metal. Bit cheap looking but has good distribution.

      We're getting some GREAT reviews..*cough*

      Powerplay Magazine...
      The press release states that Groan is up-tempo stoner rock. Isn't that an oxymoron? Anyhow… during the third song, entitled "Magic Man", the band's vocalist Mazzereth proudly name checks the likes of Status Quo, Grand Funk, Foghat, CCR and others, but Groan sound absolutely nothing like those great and influential bands. Opener "Weeping Jesus" sounds like a nightmare, while "Sacrificial Virgins" is only slightly better. This is such a bottom-heavy record that it becomes difficult to listen to after a while. When Grand Funk did this kind of stuff back in the late 60s and early 70s, it worked phenomenally well because of bassist Mel Schacher's rumbling yet agile playing; it really anchored Funk's sound. Groan's bassist Leigh Jones' playing is boring, and Groan overall is wickedly average at best with most of the songs sounding identical, almost running into one another. Like one long run-on sentence, "The Divine Right of Kings" is flawed, indecent and nonsensical. Pass!"


      hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...i said this on facebook and repeat it here: ALL bass playing is boring.
