Legendary DJ Eddie Trunk, host of Vh-1's "That Metal Show" recently did a review of Mad Margritt's ANIMAL cd. Eddie was very impressed with the cd and stated "I like the no nonsense, hard rock direction of the group". He made great comments about several of the tracks and seemed to like the songs "Animal" and "Don't Say A Word" the best. He also said that lead singer Eddie Smith has "a strong voice and look" and that guitarist Scott Banks "plays great"!!!
