Their only album was an unoriginal affair, but rocked from start to finish with the same flair as early Van Halen.

Formed in Memphis, Tennessee, by Todd Poole (vocals), former Atlanta Guitar Institute members Sid Fletcher (guitar) and Josh Weil (bass), and Scotty T (drums, who was touring the country with a Memphis blues band at the young age of fourteen).

Even an album produced by Mike Clink, sporting an outrageous cover and the debut single "Rob The Cradle" claiming "the one-take track, recorded live to tape with no edits, no dubs, no breaks, no shit," couldn't make the group stars. The group broke up shortly after, never to be heard from again.

Singer Todd Poole went on to play drums for Josie Wales and Saliva for a time. Guitarist Sid Fletcher is now a successful general dentist in Georgia with two practices. He is married and has two kids. Truman who will be three in August and Grace who was born this past September 30th.

COLLIDE

Music - (Todd Poole)
Lyrics - (Todd Poole)

The day is hard
The day is long
Don't wanna feel

You don't belong
The rising sun
Is in your eyes
Can't help but feel like
Your lost in time

I know there's something better
I know there's something more
I can't decide on whether
If when or what it's for
So when you're feeling lonely
Just know that I'm not too far away
I don't wanna know
That somethings wrong
I just wanna know
That everything's alright tonight yea
I don't wanna spend the night alone
I just wanna know
That you're gonna be mine
Are you ready to collide with me
Feel the wind

Feel the wind
Against your face
You fall in line
But you're out of place
You're holding on
To everything
You thought was good
But you're suffering
I know there's something better
I know there's something more
I can't decide on whether
If when or what it's for
So when you're feeling lonely
Just know that I'm not too far away
I don't wanna know that
Somethings wrong
I just wanna know
That everything's alright tonight yea
I don't wanna spend the night alone
I just wanna know
That you're gonna be mine
Are you ready to collide with me
Can you show me something beautiful
Can you tell me something beautiful
You make everything so beautiful
To me

I know there's something better

I know there's something better
I know there's something more
So if you're feeling lonely tonight
I don't wanna know that
Somethings wrong
I just wanna know
That everything's alright tonight yea
I don't wanna spend the night alone
I just wanna know

That you're gonna be mine
Are you ready to collide with me

The day is hard
The challenges of the day are heavy

The day is long
The day seems never-ending

Don't wanna feel
Avoiding negative emotions

You don't belong
Feeling out of place

The rising sun
The new day is beginning

Is in your eyes
Making it hard to see clearly

Can't help but feel like
Having the feeling that

Your lost in time
Feeling disconnected from time

I know there's something better
I believe a better situation exists

I know there's something more
I believe a greater opportunity exists

I can't decide on whether
I am unsure if
