Achieving success with their second album Bombshell,[2] they have released 6 full-length albums. HistoryThe band formed in 2003, founded by guitarists Jeff Westlake and Jeff Boggs and country vocalist Julie Westlake.[2] In 2004, the band released its self produced debut album Best Served with Volume.[3] The album attracted the attention of Pepsi, which endorsed the band and had them perform at NASCAR's Chevy Rocking 400 in May 2005. The popularity of the band further grew with the release of a professional video for The Sand, which was put in rotation in several music channels.[3] In spring 2005, they were contacted by metal producer Michael Wagener, who was impressed by the band and agreed to produce their next album. Released in September 2006, Bombshell entered three Billboard charts ("Top Heatseeker Northeast", "Top Internet Albums" and "Top Heatseeker")[2] and sold over 8000 copies in Europe. Vocalist Westlake featured on several European music magazines, including Fireworks, Strutter, and Flash. The Bombshell tour (which spanned both Europe and the United States) was showcased in the first live release of the band, Strip'em Blind Live, released in July 2007.[3] In 2008 founder guitarist Boggs left the band. That same year a third studio album, Deadly Passions, was released. Jeff Young from Megadeth was briefly considered as a new guitarist, but was eventually turned down. All contributions by Young to the upcoming new album were dismissed and Boggs himself was asked to replay his guitar parts.[4] Judgement, released in 2010, was another success, charting at #10 in Billboard's Top Heat Seeker. Another hiatus followed due to Julie Westlake's health problems, which lasted until mid 2011. Upon her return, the band recorded the new album Private Sessions, released in 2012. [5][6]Discography
