Treading Water With Diving For Pearls
Christine Natanael, Rock Scene, June 1990
STRAIGHT-FORWARD pop rock – the stuff of summer fun, driving with the top down, and hot sticky summer nights when you're in a strange town listening to the radio and drinking beer. I'm talking about the kind of songs that you find yourself singing for no reason other than that they have catchy lyrics.
