A trio of Peppy Castro (vo), Doug Cassaros (key) and Bob Kulik (g).
Since all three were New York studio musicians, they were called "the answer to TOTO from the East" at the time.
This is a hard melodious AOR with a high tone vocal that can be heard in Foreigner and Survivor, a dramatic arrangement, and an edgy guitar.
Drummer Andy Newmark (ds) and Willie Weeks (b) of the Doobie Brothers are in charge of the rhythm section.
