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.
