Hefty grooves, catchy melodies, and authentic-sounding restorations of the early 70s sound are all geared to recreate the golden days of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Blue Oyster Cult.  But what\u2019s lacking are the prototypes\u2019 virtuosic chops, galvanizing songwriting and the spirit of discovery.  Sincere in their fandom, Gin Lady \u2013 however \u2013 manage to escape the geek tag through good taste and studious candor which turn them from a curious oddity into a valid feature of the revivalist scene currently booming in their home country.  <\/p>\n<p>Genre:  Hard Rock<\/p>\n<p>Track list:<br \/>\n1.
