Featuring a dozen all-new songs and produced by Dave Cobb, whose work Hughes fell in love with thanks to Rival Sons' Pressure And Time album, it's edgier, chunkier and heavier than any of the three BCC studio releases.

"I call what we do 'rock swagger' - this is a very sexual album," announces bassist/vocalist Hughes grandly. "I don't want to sound like David [Coverdale] here but this band is a sexual machine."

The introduction of a virtual unknown, 23-year-old New York guitarist called Andrew Watt, helps to propel Hughes and Bonham in a more contemporary though no less hard-rocking direction.
