Awesome hard rock ... THE QUILL

[Claus / Intromental]

Anyone remember THE QUILL ???

Swedish hard rock band that released some pretty good albums at the end of the 90's and early 00's. Had a slight "stoner/groove" thing going on that made them sound like a mixture of Black Sabbath, King's X, Monster Magnet and Kyuss with a touch of "happy" funk-metal like Electric Boys.

Well, they are back now with a new disc called FULL CIRCLE, and it's pretty damn awesome to say the least.

It kicks my butt in the same way Spiritual Beggars' "Return To Zero" did last year.

They never really clicked with me in the past, but I'll surely be interested in checking out the new album.

Yep, remember them well and still play their discs all the time. Always thought they should have become more popular, but apparently they hate touring or something. I heard they said no thanks to a massive UFO tour a few years back. Nevertheless, looking forward to new material...

American Pooooowder.......

It is out now, and pretty good as well.

The Full Circle must not be available yet, can't find it through usual avenues. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Thanks for the heads-up....really liked The Quill (I've got 4 of their CDs....did they release anything after Hooray! It's a Death Trip?), so I'll check this out.

On the subject of bands with a retro vibe, I'm really digging a Spanish band right now called Eldorado...I've had trouble getting their album Golden out of my player. Well worth checking out for those that dig quality hard rock. They're streaming the whole album at their website: http://www.eldoradorockband.com/
