Never heard of them before.  I like the voice and the music.  I get the feeling there are lots of metaphors in the video, but I confess that I'm really bad at spotting or understanding those metaphors.

IIRC their only single to chart in the US was Always The Last To Know (early 90s).

Really? Oh wow!
They're one of my favorite bands.

They made a some great albums. Twisted is my favorite. And Change Everything is a close second.


They did have more singles that charted in the USA, Dave.
Roll To Me got to number 10
And Kiss This Thing Goodbye to number 35.


Here's another cool song of theirs (from Change Everything)

That video isn't available in the U.S.

Oh that's a shame. :o
Does this one work?
It's a live version of the same song

Del Amitri... Scottish act... originally from Glasgow...

This lot was on while I was working in the music den yesterday...
Sort of blinked and they were gone... I had never listened to either of their releases before yesterday... knew I liked several of the songs I'd heard before though... rip Scott Weiland...

I'm not much of a grunger (Alice in Chains perhaps excepted), but I always liked how Weiland used his voice (kind of like David Bowie did) and fronted Velvet Revolver. Much more entertaining und interesting to me than Axl's samey banshee wail borrowed off Dan McCafferty and Janis Joplin.

 Aussies........Older and a little newer.

I dig this, there's even a quick Firebird shot.




 I love this band, ACDC 2.0! I guess you could dismiss this as simplistic but good simple music isn't all that easy to create - This just arouses the ever present teenager in me (I'm effing 62!).

   

If you're Lemmy approved, that likely says something.

You can hear the Nuno Bettencourt connection in that Baby Animals track

Lou would approve:



Channeling his inner Beatles:



Nicely garage-y (he's always best at that, not really at hard or heavy rock):





Whenever Aunt Alice und Bob (Ezrin, see also ------> Deep Purple) work together, it's worth a listen. Wayne Kramer (= MC5, for our younger subscribers) is all over the new album.
