Now here is a band that has been chugging away for years in complete obscurity from a North American standpoint. They debuted with one of the best hard rock records you will ever hear named No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims that just kicked ass and left nothing breathing in its wake. Since then I haven't found them nearly as captivating over their entire career of alt. Rock meets hard rock blends. The band have released fourteen albums to date which is incredible considering they've got little to no fan base over here. The bands follow-up lacked the hooks of the North American debut and saw them fall into obscurity at a pace that would be so quick you'd miss it with a blink.Here they continue to rock along with an average record of bluesy hard rock akin to the stripped down rock of their heyday. The band don't have anything comparable to "ZCMI" or "Rim Of Hell" so don't get your hopes up if you remember them from the late 80's. Most of the time the tempo's drag in a blues rock vein almost stoner rock territory. It's when they embrace a more mainstream rock sound on "Fast On Wheels" or "Breaking Them Heart By Heart" do they sound comfortable in their own skin. Then they pull off a bunch of run-of-the-mill rock pretty faceless and forgettable until the second to last track where a pretty nice power ballad "Your Lips Are Sealed" appears. It's a decent song but nothing to write home about at all. D*A*D should either find the piss and vinegar from their one and only great record or just call it quits because this quality of music isn't going to do anything to rekindle their fans who came aboard on No Fuel Left For The Pilgrams
