Derived from a storm of pure inspiration, this 13-song journey into the future came together quickly when it first struck FM St. Jude in 1982. Based on one song's dark vision, "Gang War" was a prophecy of destruction that promised great things. FM St. Jude's musical concept for "Gang War" formed a synthesis of different rock styles then in vogue, played expertly by studio pros capable of generating the sound of the radio in all it's forms. Marinated in the sounds of Rush, ELP, Styx, Journey, Van Halen, and Yes, even the mighty Led Zep, FM and The band are remarkably supple, providing each mood in their rock opera with a musical style to match it.
