Tryx were originally from Florida, before they relocated to L.A. The band have quite an original image, with each member having a different colour patent leather outfit with the same colour splotches in his hair. The band features: Jessie Star (vocals), Roxy Deveaux (guitar), Tracy Dahne (bass) and Brett Marks (drums).<\/p>\n

The sound the band have is completely commercial pop; kind of like Cheap Trick but even more commercial.<\/p>\n

\u2018She\u2019s So Fine\u2019 opens the demo and is a real catchy little ditty. The song sounds as if it could\u2019ve been written by Lizzie Grey (London) or Nigel Itson (Ruby Slippers), and the raps are impressive; very tongue in cheek.<\/p>\n

\u2018I Don\u2019t Wanna Know Your Name\u2019 reminds me of The Beatles and The Monkees with its yummy-yummy chorus, while \u2018Don\u2019t You Need It\u2019 is a lot more uptempo with an impressive solo from Roxy Deveaux.<\/p>\n

Lastly, there\u2019s a well impressive version of The Archies\u2019 \u2018Sugar, Sugar\u2019, not covered so finely since early Ruby Slippers.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t really a lot of metal appeal in Tryx\u2019s music; the guitars are there, but the music could prove a bit too much for Slayer<\/a> fans and makes Poison sound like D.R.I.! But you have to admire Tryx for being different. They should go a long way.<\/p>\n
