The band started playing professionally when Darrell was 14. THEY STARTED OUT PLAYING COVERS AND PROFECTING THEM TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They started out playing softer song that the people could dance to then they moved to for heavy stuff. This was done to increase there fan base at first. They grew a HUGE fan base quickly being the best cover band around. They got booked in clubs all over, and soon all over Texas. They were most influenced by Van Halens playing than the posing done by most of the 80s bands. This went all the way back to there roots.
