RE: New Bands, new Power - Groups I stumbled over lately
Hey! Welcome back! It's a long time since your last post.
Greta Van Fleet are becoming bigger day by day. Last week a Spanish promoter announced a concert in Barcelona in a venue for 4.600 people. I think that is so big for them, but let's see what happens. Anyway, press is talking about them as "the next big thing". I really like the band, and I'm waiting to listen to the new album and see what happens with press coverage.
Vintage Trouble are also awesome. Ty Taylor has an incredible voice and I like them because they give fresh sounds to rock and soul music. They have come to Barcelona but haven't seen them live yet.
Heaven's Basement is another great band. They are not the luckiest guys in the world. Jonny Rocker, the guitar player founded Huricane Party in 2002 and released an E.P. named "Get This". For me that E.P. is much better than Heaven's Basement album. They changed their name to Roadstar and published a couple of great albums before turning into Heaven's Basement.
I didn't know Larkin Poe, I'll have to check it deeper because I've liked a lot!
Yes i think this time I have the same opinion like the press. I think Greta Van Fleet have to work on their live performance but the music is what people are missing and the views on youtube shows the same. As you wrote, tomorrow the new album is coming and let's see what we get there :)
Thank you very much for the hint with Hurricane Party and Roadstar, wasn't aware of that! Have to listen to some more songs but by now (just jumped through the Roadstar album quickly) i think I like the later music with Heaven's Basement more.
Cheers!
