Cervino handles all bass and much of the guitar work as well as backing vocals. Matt Reardon provides proficient machismo vocals in most instances and the band is rounded out with solid performances by Dean Sterberg on guitar and Mike Sorrentino on drums.

Straight ahead hard rock, Storm Warning does not take chances or move in any new original direction, but fans of the bands these guys used to be in will not be disappointed.
