Leykis101 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I heard this band originally on Mancow's Morning Madhouse, he played Lover Call, and I was hooked, not really a classification for them, accept, pretty raw and hard rocking musically, with a black dude singing, but not in the conventional form of singing! I love them, but know virtually no other fans? any of you guys fancy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've read and heard many good things about them over the last year or two but haven't ever took the time to listen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I heard great things so I took some time to listen... and that time lasted about 2mins. I found these guys painfully boring. Almost like a poorer version of Hootie and The Blowfish, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have told you that they werent for you! but if you think they sound like hootie and the blowfish, it's cause they have a black singer, and thats the only reason!

Agree, no Hootie similarity at all. I have 2 releases of there's and quite like them both, nothing earth shattering, but imho, some nice rock n roll!

I wish I did, as of today I have "We Sweat Blood" and "Sleep Is The Enemy". And again, I like both discs a lot, but the appeal might miss some of the blinder wearer's on the board...

Yeah guys, I should add they remind me of Hootie and the Blowfish... not that they sound like them specifically. Maybe it is the black lead singer, maybe it's the ultra-safe plodding along songs... I don't know, it's just what I thought when I heard them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard anything by bootie and the hoefish that remotely rocked! hey have you ever spelled your name Giuff to fuck with people? you know like Giuffria? but they are just hard rocking garage rock! with a totally crazy singer! don't start telling people they sound like Hootie, or i'll start making Michael Bolton, and Wham references to some of your bands!!!

Yeah, my opinion on this band is definitely not one to take any note of. As I said, it was made in haste... I just know for sure these guys were definitely not for me.

cdjunky41 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 SLEEP IS THE ENEMY has been in my car stereo for quite some time a couple of years ago.. FIRST DATE Rocks I don't know why, but THE FINGER reminds me of Thin Lizzy!! Great Band!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yea these boys rock! They get a lot of airplay here in their homeland! You guys have to hear the song Bounce. Lovercall may be my second fave Danko tune, but I love Bounce infinitely more. If it doesn't get you moving you're dead! They are opening for Sebastian Bach and GNR in January so I'll get to see them live. I think the Phil Lynott comparison is a fair one. Definitely a very modern Lizzy vibe imho. Very cool!

Chris Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Not too bad. Reminds me of a harder rocking Hootie. "Code Of The Road" and "Bounce" are pretty good rockers...Takes a little getting used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leykis101 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I love there shit, they are nuts to, they not only sat in on the whole 4 hrs of Mancows Morning Madhouse, they seemed to really like to do the Phone Scams! and the drummer almost had the guy in the 5 star hair saloon in the bottom of the building Mancow broadcasts out of, you know the one they prank call, and fuck with him about being queer(though he's not) the drummer had him on the line for almost 3 minutes, slowly working in very inteligent questions, but with each question, a little more fruity content was squeezed in, he was genius, Ive never heard Thomas get that lead on, during a prank call, he generally picks up the first minute that it's one of Mancows obnoxious calls, even the good callers dont get past the minute and a half mark, but Dankos Drummer I believe it was had thomas in the middle of discussing if a brazilian wax could possibly make him become aroused? and Thomas started saying "well I guess technically it could, but weve never known a gentelman to really find it arousing" and then he stopped, mid sentence, and said, "you know who becomes aroused, when that Erich fuck from the radio station upstairs gets his done, he enjoys the cucumber treatment while" Click!!! it was fucking hilarious, then Danko, I guess thats the black singer, would call houses and do his scream and if it was a woman answering, he would talk real normal and act like he was a specialist, doing a one time throught the suburban neighborhoods, showing stay at home moms the proper technique involved in doing the Lover Call! fucking classic, none of cows guests get into doing that shit very oftern, I wish I could find it to donwload, it was classic!
