Anyone know anything about this band? Anyone here a fan? I keep hearing about them here and there, and then I saw a video the other day of theirs and I really liked it. They sound like Black Sabbath a lot to me. Opinions?

Yeah, I'm hip to them. They have a song called "Love Train" that's really cool. They get quite a bit of airplay on Rodney on the Roq on KROQ out here in L.A. Their album is pretty consistent and their influences are definately early to mid 70's rock, which is cool.

Yes, that's the impression I got from the small bit I've heard of them. I'm thinking about maybe getting their album.

I believe u would dig it. They're not better than their influences but u know, I like them waaay better than The Stokes and The Vines.

blackguitaristz said:

Yeah, they caught my ear in a way that most bands these days haven't so far. But a with most things new, I'm sure I'll get bored of them quickly.

minneapolisgenius said:

Probably. I'm keeping my eye open to see if they're going to hit The Roxy or The Viper Room. If so, I'll definately go check them out live. They may be better live so that'll give them an edge since their album isn't through the roof.

I've not heard them yet. But a few friends whose taste I really trust are LOVING them

Aussie band!

the mere reason that they sound like black sabbath or led zeppelin is telling you how un-orginal this bland band is..i mean i want something that sounds like black sabbath or led zeppelin i listen to them.in other words Wolfmother is crap.

i've heard of wolf parade!

I keep meaning to pick this one up. I have heard a few songs and i like them. They played noisepop this year, but the club sold out too fast for me, and they are playing in SF on Saturday night, but my best friend's wedding is this weekend.

I haven't.

I've read many reviews of their live shows on another board (granted, it's the Zeppelin board, so I think they are a bit biased towards that heavy 70's sound) and they were all very good. It's the type of band that for me, would be much better live I think.

Anyway, that's why I asked about them here, to get a different perspective on them, since you people are, um, extra special.

You could always leave your best friend's wedding to go.

Damn, in S.F.? I wonder if my sister will go?

I know. I just found this out last night actually while doing a little research on them.

But have you even heard them?

i saw them on some late night show and they killed! i was kinda torn between them being a novelty act or the real deal, still don't know. i am tempted to pick up their album. Btw, i have a giant picture of the one on their album cover.

I keep seeing their stuff advertised, and i gotta say, from the adz i like the sound! I'm pretty curious about em actually.
