The band consisted of a cast of characters that resided on the Sunset Strip during the hard rock explosion of the early 1980s. The group’s sound was typical of the melodic hard rock of the period with powerful, memorable vocal performances and guitar work. After the departure of original vocalist Chuck Turner, vocalist Paul Shortino took the helm and led the band through their most popular period with the release of the self-titled Rough Cutt album in 1985.
