May or may not have heard of this Australian band (Sydney). Their debut album comes out today (Monday), they have not made any impact in America yet, but I believe in the UK they are known. They are certainly known in Australia, surprisingly having a place in the top 10 with their latest single "Mind's Eye".

They are often described as Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath for a modern day audience which I believe to be fairly accurate. I realise how dangerous this comparison is, but they have a force and an energy that allows them to pull it off without falling into a dreadful parody of the rock bands of the last century. The vocalists' voice is pretty impressive, alot of people compare to Robert Plant, I wouldn't agree there but it's definately good, possibly in a different way.

You can check them out on their website, with a tiny snippet of "Mind's Eye", or you might be able to download that track or the more rocking "Woman". I know the video of "Mind's Eye" is on their site.

Anyway, decent Sydney band that I shall be purchasing the album of.

Thoughts?
