Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Both of these modern rock bands are often cited as drawing heavily from their influences (or in the case of GVF, their seemingly singular influence). Which brand of possible copy-catism do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Not sure I know any The Struts’ songs...but a vote for them is a vote against GVF. So, yeah like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I can't really vote as I have never heard anything by The Struts. I'm not overly fond of GVF ..... I prefer to listen to the real thing not a tribute band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The hate for GVF is ridiculous. They are a wonderful young band with so many wonderful songs. And so many people who whine about a lack of originality I also see fawning over really unoriginal fare. Young band, hearts in the right places, a love for classic rock of various eras, and they write and play their own material. Is it envy that they found an audience whilst your personal bland faves have not? They are wonderful. And I think they sound like a mixture of Yes, Led Zeppelin and early nineties alt rock. Looooove them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I saw The Struts open for The Foos at MSG. Rockin' band. My vote goes to The Struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looooove them. Well, I personally don’t remember saying that they lack originality. I only dislike the singer‘s voice. Hate, really. Sure, he’s trying to emulate Plant and that’s fine but it annoys me to where I can’t even focus on any decent elements the band actually has. What’s ridiculous about hating someone’s voice? I’m sure everyone hates a vocalist or two out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned Geddy too so I gave them a whirl. I probably listened to about 5-6 songs from them JUST because that former flatmate of mine who knew me well was so convinced that I’d like them. He was wrong + surprised by my dislike. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 ok. i'm playing The struts. i do know these dudes were Hailed as retro gods. but DUDE they are too overproduced to be retro. not crazy about this singer either, lol. i have to be honest and say i think very few retro bands get it right.
