Rock And Roll was never supposed to be polite, polished, watered down or delivered without destructive primal urge. This is not only a fact that all four members of Mitra understand to the fullest, it's also the driving force behind why the Dallas-based foursome exist in the first place. After giving new meaning to the phrase "scorched earth policy" and touring the world in the notorious Speedealer for several years both guitarist Eric Schmidt and drummer Harden Harrison (also of the recently regrouped Rigor Mortis) hardly found themselves at a loss for hammering out full throttle high-octane tuneage with a Texas-bred "kick out the jams" attitude. Soon Kurt Grayson (ex-frontman for Billyclub and Rock N' Roll Disciples) and bassist Mark Ehr (Pump'n Ethyl) would enter the picture and a snarling new beast would be spawned.
