BOC: Re: Heaven Forbid, I'm back!

[Joseph Brooks]

I have to agree, the song you mentioned is definately worse. Kiss? My
comment there was not meant as a compliment.

As far as tBS and "Box of Hammers" is concerned, I haven't heard it. I
bought their first CD, Epe-whatzit.. and didn't much care for it so I've
been hesitant. Perhaps I'll give BoH a try.
