Why they might be annoying:

    When their album 'Hot Wire' came out it was ignored because grunge was more popular than hair metal.
    They have opened for Poison.
    Their song 'Kix are for Kids' is a rip off of the Trix breakfast cereal advertising slogan.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Unlike many hair metal bands, the music was more important than the hair.
    They were considered one of Maryland's most exciting live cover bands.
    During their first three years they hit the club circuit, six nights a week creating a huge local fan base.
    Many believe Poison stole their stage antics from them.
    Their songs are rather catchy.
    Their song 'Don't Close Your Eyes' is an anti-suicide song.
