A newish band from my neck of the woods having been making their rounds of late. San Jose band Factory Minds is onto something, and my bet is, they will be huge. Like Rancid huge. Wanna bet? They have a better understanding of rock n roll then they do and they understand how to write a hook and then some. Think The Clash, SLF, Ruts with some Specials a bit. Then throw in some Dead 60's a bit and maybe The 'Tone and you will get an idea. Here is the link to some music. I want you to comment because once you hear their stuff you will be saying I am right! Love these guys...I have not seen them yet but will be very SOON! The best thing out of SJ since well ummm The Forgotten.

Just listening to them and on first impressions I've got to agree with you. Maybe needs a bit of a shinier production for it to hit the mainstream, but every thing's in place. Solid musicianship, sussed lyrics and plenty of attitude.
ReplyDeleteJust what we want, need, from a band.
Hopefully, these guys got better 'cause I saw them at the Blank Club a couple of years ago and they left a lot to be desired.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are getting better and better every day. Like their music style. Will see them on the 24th March at the Warfield. Just bought their music on itunes and it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteYes they are getting better and better...I too will be at the Warfield show on the 24th
