Bret and the boys from Harrisburg are back. Consider yourself publicly and servicedly announced.
Their new record POISON’D!, out today on Capitol, is a cover-song extravaganza of new and old rockin’ hairsprayed interpretations of classic tunes from Bowie, The Cars, The Rolling Stones, The Romantics, Sweet, etc.
