Your Advice Please

[Caveman]

Hi everyone,

I love bands like Def Leppard, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Poison, Winger, Kansas (only the power album), Heavens Edge. Recently I did a search looking for modern bands with that kind of style. I came across H.E.A.T and they are fantastic. I really love there first 2 albums but then I feel they change their style a bit. 

Can you guys recommend some bands that are like H.E.A.T especially there first 2 albums. 

Thanks!

Care of Night, Work of Art, Wigelius, Harem Scarem, Wildness, Art Nation, Ted Poley, etc.

Ha! You were the first person I thought of. I figured you should have accrued a decent collection of H.e.a.t-esque bands, by now. You ought to be the perfect person for this inquiry. 

[Invisible_man]

Palace (Master of the Universe), Diamond Dawn, Rian, The Nights, Age of Reflection, Sunstrike....just to add a few

Degreed 

[The Rocker]

Crazy Lixx
Ammunition
W.E.T.
Eclipse
H.E.A.T
Art Nation
Midnite City
All bands have already been mentioned, but they should fit your likes to a T.

Good choices, especially H.E.A.T.

They really sound like H.E.A.T. 

Sorry mate, I couldn't resist. 

[CureTheSane]

From the specific bands you've mentioned, I'll go with
Wig Wam
Jamie Allen
Kaato
The Burning Crows
Johnny Lima
 

[Caveman]

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I look forward to listening to a these bands. H.E.A.T is definitely a favourite. I made a mistake before and it is actually the first 3 albums that are fantastic.

EDIT BY DAN: No torrenting dicussions here please. All of the H.E.A.T. albums are still in print and readily available. You should be supporting the artists.

[Invisible_man]

might try Dynazty too

[CureTheSane]

Yeah I was going to say Dynazty, but didn't want to complicate too much by dissecting to earlier Dynazty.

Same with The Poodles and other bands I guess.

[Mafisen]

Gotthard

Hardline

Treat

Baton Rouge!!!! Especially the Shake Your Soul album

Praying Mantis

Have been listening to a few Station songs and they are fantastic! Do you guys know anywhere in Australia where I can buy their ep and album?

Not sure about Australia.  But I know they sell the CD on their web site and have info on their Facebook page.  I'd just message them on Facebook if you need to ask about shipping to Australia.

Really down to earth and humble guys from the interactions I've had with them....easy to support.

Also they have a new album coming out in early April.

Have tried Utopia in Sydney or Radical Records in Dandenong if you based in Melbourne.

Nobody's mentioned White Widdow, yet??

I'm not a huge fan, but if you're in Australia, they're kinda essential.
