Lucas Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Rock and roll saviors or retro hacks ?? I love them, and I think vocalist Luke Spiller is brilliant .. They're still very young, and even though there is a lot of familiarity here, they are much more exciting than a lot of bands that went on to be loved, yet started out wearing their influences on their sleeves .. Great songwriters, great vibe, and despite all the influences being there, they sound very fresh and original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Nah..... The singer/frontman undoubtedly has some star appeal, but Freddie did it so much better, and the whole glam/waster kind of image is just so obviously not real.They strike me as posh boys pretending (though I could be wrong) Songs have a couple of catchy hooks, but all the raw heaviness has been produced out of them, requiring limp wristed keyboards to fill it out. I'm sure all the little girlies will love them....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Needs more guitar, looser songs, and a bit more authenticity...but they are pretty great, especially that frontman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I agree about the raw element being removed ( absent ), and the need for some more guitar But I do like 'em 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Released an hour ago Best song of 2018 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 My band tried to play Kiss This but our rhythmically challenged guitarist couldn't play the unison lick in the middle, no matter how much I slowed it down for him. I knew something was wrong when in the initial emails, he said he could play it in A or A flat just as easily. No. No you can't... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Released an hour ago Best song of 2018 I won’t give it best song of the year, not by a long shot... but it’s darn good. Best thing I’ve heard from them since Kiss This, and honestly that guitar solo might give it the edge over that song. Thank you for posting this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Production is too polished. I’m sticking with Greta Van Fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Production is too polished. I’m sticking with Greta Van Fleet. The production is amazing, but too polished for me. I agree with the comment above -"more guitar, looser songs, and a bit more authenticity" They are doing something right though for today's market, if the success they are having is any gauge.

Segue Myles Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Greeta Van Fleet and YYNot are far more impressive and forward thinking "throwbacks" than this. I got very bored very quickly. The production is far too slick as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) The style they're going for and the production clash......i have to echo the production sentiment. Slick as shit. and it doesn't work. Mick Edited October 5, 2018 by bluefox4000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Played a few more songs just to see... The nicest thing I can say is that they sound like The Disney Channel made a TV movie about being sixteen and in a new rock band. They rebelled by not wearing school uniform and they are so totally gonna rock out in detention. I can't really get on board with this...but it does put me in the mood to play some decent eighties stuff haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
