Earthless
If Jimi Hendrix jammed with Geezer Butler and Keith Moon at the volume of Dinosaur Jr. in a warehouse, it would sound just like this band. Earthless are quite simply a rock & roll jam band. Lost from the first moments in a wall of white noise and emerging 40 minutes later in a sweaty haze.
The discipline of the bassist holds together the backbone for the drummer and guitarist to wield the power of the dead legends.
Imagining a 'War Pigs' style bass line that lasts the entire set and a dueling guitar and drum lead is mouthwatering enough but of course it gets a little tedious after half an hour of the 'same song'. Jazz and Rock do mix, but it doesn't hold the attention my attention. I liked it though.
