The songs, like those on the full-length, are some sort of driving hard-rock hybrid combining the balls of Appetite-era GN’R guitars, Dr. Feelgood-era Crue crunch, and Out of the Cellar-era Ratt leads, wrapped together in a southern rock package.

Clearly it matters not, for it kicks total ass, as do these three new songs. The three tracks are available for purchase on the band’s MySpace page.

They didn't abandon the rap thing because they never did the rap thing. They have always been a straight-ahead modern hard rock/metal band. RIP Dave Williams. I have DP’s first two albums.
