Topic: Band To Look Out For : Get Vegas

If you long for the days of such heavy blues rockers such as Free and Bad Company then you should definitely keep an eye and ear out for unsigned UK band Get Vegas. Hailing from the North East of England, this hard rockin' quartet has the sound down pat. With vocalist Jonny Cole sounding like the second coming of Paul Rodgers, and the songs recalling that same vibe, this is certainly a band to keep tabs on.

While their MySpace page lists them as being 'Alternative/Blues', rest assured there's no grunge, post grunge or anything indie rock sounding about them. What you'll hear is unadulterated 70's styled rock that while being slugged out currently in pubs wouldn't sound out of place, and would probably be more well suited for, arenas. And based on the evidence to be had thus far, that's where you'll probably be hearing them in the not too distant future. Don't take my word for it though, check out the samples offered here :

I just recently received this 4 song demo, and all the songs in their full length versions are even better. This is one band who needs to be signed and put out a full length ASAP.

Re: Band To Look Out For : Get Vegas

And to think that only one of the band has reached the age of 20 - if they have 6 more songs of this caliber, their debut will be a stunner. There seems to be quite the renaissance of this type of music in this age group, with BDS, Ryan McGarvey, Glyder, The Answer, this band and others, so they've obviously been raiding their parents' album collections. I feel we're on the brink of a big neo classic rock revival.

Re: Band To Look Out For : Get Vegas

Thanks for the info Keith. They sound great. I've always loved Bad Co and Free. Might just have to go along to Rio's in Leeds in May. There certainly is a lot of new talent emerging from the UK at the moment.

Re: Band To Look Out For : Get Vegas

Nice sound but I have to disagree on "The second coming of Paul Rodgers" Good voice but Mr Rodgers has a phenomenal voice so the lad has some way to go.


Not knocking them just giving an honest opinion

Peace and Jam
