With a name like Kingdom of Desire I was almost expecting a Toto tribute show from this Dutch band with their self-financed, seven song debut release. I really like the opening song - "Someone's Calling" - with its original sound, clever keyboards, and varied guitar work. Maybe it's a little like a thinking man's version of Danish band Skagarack. That's only a personal preference, mind, if you dig bands like Talisman and Bonfire, or even Europe you'll lap it up.... It's a little predictable, but well delivered and the well constructed "Who's Sorry Now" stands out and moves closer to Zeno or Fair Warning.
