Rick Plester, who has worked with guitar legends Michael Schenker and George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob), recorded and co-produced the debut album and is a feature guest guitar soloist as well.

Powerhouse drummer, Pete Holmes, who has played with Black ‘N Blue, Ian Gillan, Ted Nugent, Peter Gabriel and Michael Schenker Group, plays all drums on the debut disk. Chris Challice now plays drums for KILLINGER and was recruited from Motley Crue tribute outfit, Crued. Justin Craig is bassist. Multi-Juno award winner and guest artist, Bill Bou
