Kanada Kev Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I can't wait to see the DBTruckers again! I hope this comes to fruition. Now I have to catch up with the times and checkout some THS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I just checked out their myspace page to listen to them for the first time. Liked it enough to go check them out. They remind me of somebody else, but I can't put my finger on it. At times they remind me of Big Head Todd and the Monsters actually, particularly the voice and style of the vocals.

Kanada Kev Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Al, they grow on you too. Once you see 'em live it's even better! A good friend of mine is a huge Stones fan. I told him that he would love these guys. They do have a sound reminiscent of Exile On Main St Rolling Stones, IMHO. He's now hooked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I find their sound to be an obvious mix of Springsteen, Thin Lizzy, Stones and maybe even a little AC/DC.I get why people don't love his voice, but I can't understand why what he is saying is not more important than what he is saying.Start with Seperation Sunday for the best example of all of their strengths in one tight package....Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 NR, have you heard the bonus tracks on the new disc? Outstanding! Ask her for Adderall is already one my my HS favs......Weird that they are tracked as one song, but they still kick ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah, I love Adderall! It is lame that it's all one track though I never really need to skip through their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
