6 Forgotten Classic Rock Bands of the ’70s Worth Rediscovering

Orlando, FL

I’ve always been a British Invasion baby boomer and The Stones are on the top of the list as my favorite band during that period. I remember in school there seemed to be two camps of fans, Beatles and Stones. Of course, I belonged to the latter because Jagger & Richards had that real snarling rock star attitude as opposed to The Beatles’ persona as clean cut lads. Plus, The Stones had the same DNA as us in America whereby they were so blues/rock oriented with their music and lyrics that we considered them one of us. On the other hand, Lennon/McCartney were very English in their music structure especially the subject matter they sang about in the songs. Now The Rolling Stones have had several lineups in the past 50-years. The band was originally founded by the multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones in 1962 with Charlie Watts on drums, Bill Wyman on bass, Keith Richards on guitar and Mick Jagger on vocals. This was the golden period for the band however they kicked out Brian Jones and replaced him with Mick Taylor in 1969 first appearing on Let It Bleed. Taylor was then replaced by Ronnie Woods, ex-bass player for The Jeff Beck Group in 1976 and Ron has been in the band ever since the album Black & Blue. Later on, Bill Wyman left the band to pursue other musical interests in 1993 and was replaced by jazz bassist Daryl Jones. Sadly, Charlie Watts died on the drum throne in 2021 being replaced by jazz/fusion drummer Steve Jordan.

Review Summary: While they may work with irregular rhythms, they are still able to create compelling grooves out of that. And sometimes it's just straight arythmic.

Review Summary: A windows down, volume up delight. Was caught a bit flat-footed by All You Embrace. While it's obvious from the jump that the melodic hardcore baseline that Wilkes-Barre natives One Step Closer deliver is eminently approachable, it did present a bit as too by the book. From the blistering opening of "Color You" to the groove-meets-shout verses of "Leap Years", I couldn't help but feel like I had heard this story before. Emotionally charged and resonating, it absolutely checks the boxes for what a punk band should deliver today. Their style is youthful and poignant in a genre that requires youth and poignancy. The choruses succeed in prying their way into your head and inevitably you're screaming "Why did you bring this back up?!" during your second spin of "Your Hazel Tree". It's all here, nailing the pre-requisites as it were.

All You Embrace

15 Best Classic Rock Songs of All Time

Shortly before 3 AM, people in the Chicago area may have felt their houses shake as a 3.4-magnitude earthquake occurred about 60 miles west of the city. (CHICAGO) The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 3.4-magnitude earthquake around Somonauk, IL. Somonauk is in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties, 64 miles west of Chicago.

Review Summary: Hold onto your hope. Hold Onto Your Luck is a meticulous and chaotic epic of diametrically opposing ideas. In this sense only certain influences seem to sprout forth in ways even -somewhat- obvious, that being Touche Amore-style melodramatic ciggie-lunged shouts (track examples, “XI”, “Pocket Knifes”.) and riffs/shreds that capture a middle ground between Gospel and the OG era of swancore (think Doppelganger by The Fall of Troy). This and flourishes of other, uh, somethings are recontextualized (Louis Armstrong vocals that cap off “Thieves” being a dominant example), strung together in a much more patient post-rock-esque fashion. This makes for an album as jubilant as it is melancholic, as deeply submerged in murk and fog as it is soaring above sun-soaked meadows and shimmering ocean tides.

Hold Onto Your Luck

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.
