Comment:Inward Eye have been playing these showcases for a while now, but it seems like much of what they have to bring just remains the same. They wear their influences proudly on their sleeves as emmisaries of wild, unabashed rock, but whirling dervish guitar playing and frantic yelps into a microphone have yet to prove why we should care beyond their raucous set.
