which should I start with?
hmmm....tough....i'll break it down for you and let you choose:
THE HARD LESSONS: these guys' music runs a fair sized gamut. it'll range from soulful motown, to racous rock, to country rock, to soulful heartbreakers. but, it's all rock and roll and its all phenominal. plus, on some songs they male guitarist sings and on others the femal keyboardist sings...so its always switching up so you dont find yourself getting tired of the same thing track after track. its great...but makes it hard to stop listening to. check out the songs: i cant stand it, love gone cold (this song will break your heart), milk and sugar, that other girl.
THE SIGHTS: i dont know if theres a score in rock and roll, but if there is, the sights know it. strong ass kikcing rock and roll inspired by the 60's british invasion with a blues backbone to it and perhaps a hit of some ray charles mixed in just for good measure. check out the songs: i just got robbed, circus, frozen nose, nobody, backseat.
THE PAYBACKS: this is just straight up kick your ass rock and roll.
THE DIRTBOMBS: fun rock and roll with a classic motown base. the band uses 2 drummers, two bassists, and a guitar....great stuff. check out the tracks: chains of love, motor city baby, underdog, i cant stop thinking about it, im through with white girls
BLANCHE: old time somber bluegrass country (the band isnt old, they're pretty new...but thats what the music is styled after). suggested songs: another lost summer, jack on fire, hopeless waltz, do you trust me.
THE MUGGS: great blues rock and roll (their stuff may be harder to d/l right now...their debut albumisnt out for a couple of weeks)
JAWBONE: a one man blues band....you havent heard blues like this since...well, never. this is some serious down and dirty gritty blues! one man playing guitar, harmonica, bass drum, hi-hat, and singing....(his guitar amp is powered by a 12 volt car battery by the way...so he canplay anywhere)...suggested songs: if it's rock (it'll roll), 4-11-44, gasoline, hi-de-hi
check out the websites...im sure they do the bands more justice than i do...im not very good at talking about music intellectually...i just know whats good...its hard for me to explain why.
