The 3 brothers and the drummer/guitar player all seem pretty well grounded and quite polite. Great parents apparently. Great to see and hear. I've heard 95% good/great things. I did read a bad review or two about not being able to understand Josh's vocals live and ripping on him. I get that but I've watched a few videos from live shows and found them to be really good musicians and Josh does have the Robert Plant voice. I wish them nothing but the best. As a 58 year old man who grew up listening to the greatest rock music, these guys are a breath of fresh air. I just hope fame doesn't find one of them stuck with the 8 ball and the proverbial hot hooker in the cheap motel room down the road. Please don't end up like Howie Epstein of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers who's from my city - Milwaukee. Or don't become a "Shooting Star" by Bad Company. God bless you guys. Stay humble.

If people want to accuse these blokes of ripping off Zeppelin, including Robert Plant himself, people need to remember that it was Janis Joplin who sang in this style first. Janis Joplin was almost 7 years before Zeppelin even made their first album. A lot of people accused not only Robert Plant, but his entire band from ripping off Janis Joplin. Anyone who says that Robert Plant didn't take Janis Joplin's singing style is fooling themselves. Janis was the first. Listen to any of her bands early stuff before Zeppelins first album in 68, not just her singing. From Joplin's first album in 62 to her last album, you can hear where Zeppelin got their style from, Janis Joplin and her entire band. If Janis was alive today, she would love these blokes.

Despite what anyone things the younger generation positively knows about the great rock bands like Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bad Company etc. They are the ones seeking out and playing vinyl now cause its great music and some of them are starting bands and just like this band is and interpreting the music the way they hear it which is great. This particular band has what it takes to make a major impact and bring rock music back in the public eye. I personally don't think it will be the way it was in the 60's and 70's but this band with a little guidance and refining could have people listening to rock music again instead of this rap crap.

The Rockingbird . Hi Rocking. Its not that sad in reality cause the bands playing "modern rock" were all influenced by what everyone calls now classic rock or "retro" music. No matter what spin you want to put on it modern rock is taking ideas and sounds from classic rock bands. I listen to interviews with the newer rock bands and when asked what got you started and who influnced you its led zeppelin, Aerosmith etc. Thats where the younger bands get it from and its great to hear how they interpret the music.
