The Rolling Stones and the Who...

[Reverend Joe]

...Together in one band for the first time.

Well, not literally, but it sure sounds like it.

Trust me.

(Also, their first EP is currently free, so you can listen to their first songs free of charge.)

Oh, come on... anybody?! You can't tell me that nobody out there finds this band appealing!

Seriously, listen to "Moving Along." And then tell me what you think.

I H8 Myspace. Their player is horrible... Didn't sound bad from what little I got to listen too.

They've definitely got the "classic rock" sound down - the harmonica is a great touch in "Moving Along".

Unfortunately, ignoring the sad fact that the guitar is dead (), I think their music still misses the mark by that much; and the problem is in the writing. For example, what differentiated Jimmy Page from every other guitar god in the early 70's wasn't his iconic guitar abilities, but his ability to write excellent music - compared to say.. Jeff Beck, who was arguably equal in skills, but failed to produce hits.

As much as I love to hear Hendrix, Page, Clapton, and the other's riff - it is almost more important to be able to write catchy, powerful music. From what I've heard, I just don't think they'll make it out of the nightclubs - even if it were 1971.

Moving Along is good, not so fond of the other two songs.

Now, see that's what I like to see. Being an amateur, I like to hear what the more-informed think of these bands.

(You must admit, though, that they are still light-years away from your average Emo band.)

That's pretty much every non-Emo band
