And Bruce says the fact they've become friends with the producer over the years made recording their first album with frontman Denis Stoff a pleasure. The guitarist says: "Recording with Joey is almost natural at this point. I don't think I've ever recorded with another producer properly since the start of this band.

"Over the years it's got easier as we've grown to become friends and no just co-workers. It's become a very comfortable environment for me to work in. I don't have to sit there and worry. It's a nice environment."
