Hi all,
In recent weeks, I've discovered some contemporary bands that are a true throwback to the hard rock of the 70s and/or the 80s.
Can anyone recommend any similar, current bands to the ones listed below?
Beautiful Creatures - a true marriage of 80s and 90s. Imagine a mix of LA Guns and Godsmack. Vocals are by the guy from Bang Tango. Truly a marriage of late 80s sleeze/glam and 90s post grunge. Sounds odd but it works!
Glyder - awesome new Irish band that has the twin guitar, ultra-melody of Thin Lizzy. Debut released earlier this year. www.myspace.com/glyder
The Answer - another new awesome Irish band. Hard to describe the sound....I guess I'd say Free, 70s Aerosmith, some Zeppelin, and perhaps a touch of the Cult? Anyway, check out the awesome debut (also released in 2006).
Winterville - a mix of Led Zep/Deep Purple and 90s grunge (with more emphasis on the Zep/Purp. Awesome debut names Everything In Moderation released in 2005. www.myspace.com/winterville
Black Stone Cherry - cool American band....a mix of Skynard / Soundgarden / and early 70s hard rock. Kick-ass debut released in 2006!
Of course, there's "Sword" with it's total Sabbath thing and "Wolfmother" which has a bit of Sabbath mixed with a contemporary rock vibe....really solid songwriting.
Any one know of cool, new bands?
