Anyone else heard of/experienced this band? A friend of mine turned me onto their album "Sundancer"....I've had a hard time putting it down. I would describe it as a mix of sludgey version of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with some Black Keys with some heavy blues thrown in. I can't find much else about them online though. Check them out if you can!

    For a minute I though this was about the band from Spokane Washington. I really liked that band, Knock out the Axis and Self-Appointed Guardian of the Machine are wicked disc's. I've haven't head of this one. I'm liking what I hear and reminds me of Kyuss - going to look into this more! :corn:

    This is why I love these forums. I've learned about 3 cool new bands here in the past year.
