seems like theres been a bit of a drought lately for new Stonesy sounding bands coming out...
anybody know any that they'd like to turn me on to?

One band that a friend turned me on to was Razorlight. He said they were supposed to be to the Stones as Oasis supposedly is to the Beatles, however, aside from some guitar riffs, I don't see many similarities between Razorlight and the Stones, but I still like Razorlight a lot. They are a newer British band and they've had 2 albums out in the last couple years, Up All Night and a self-titled second album. Both are solid, but I prefer Up All Night. They're pretty big in Europe from what I hear and read. Hopefully this helps you out a bit.

The Novaks
The Deadstring Brothers
Just off the top of my head. I can probably come up with a few more for ya later.

Thanks SS
I love The Novaks. Will ck out Deadstrings... where they from?
couple of stonesish bands hailing from NYC that I like the debut albums of are The Izzy's, Leroy Justice and The New Heathens.

The Deadstring Brothers are from Detroit. They sound like what The Stones woulda sounded like if Gram Parsons and Merry Clayton had joined the band.
I love The Izzys. Good call.

I'm downloading Deadstring Brothers now.... seeing as there on Bloodshot and cover The Band's 'Get Up Jake' I think I'm gonna likey...
thanks again SS

16th January 2007 01:56 PM
Sir Stonesalot
Yer welcome.
Starving Winter Report was my #4 album of 2006. You'll play it to death.

I know it's been out a couple of years, but you just got to hear the Black Crowes' "Shake Your Moneymaker," Saint Sway. Those first couple of songs on side one would not feel out of place on Sticky Fingers or Goats Head Soup.

i 2nd The Novaks and Izzy's... Can't wait to check out The Deadstring Brothers...

you might know them already, but The Reigning Sound are very Stonesy... IMO.

not really new, but in case you haven't heard of them, the black keys sound very stonesy to me. They have some great riffs. I'd reccommend "rubber factory" as a first album.
16th January 2007 04:50 PM

Reigning Sound dont sound Stonesy. But they're totally the type of garage rock bands I like. Good pick.
Keys just flat out rawk. Hard. I wish the Stones were busting out tunes like 10am Automatic these days. That would of been a great one for Mick. If only Keiths guitar sound still had balls like that.
what about Louis XIV?? Guys got a hint of Mick to him, no?

If you're into garage bands you should check the sights and the muggs out as well.
The Blue Van are a great band as well. They're Danish I believe.

Sway...I got 2 words for ya.
Baby Woodrose.
See if you can find "Love Comes Down". That album will tear yer damn head off. There is definately a Stones influence...but more Brian era Stones.
Oh, and I second The Sights & The Blue Van.
Here's me 'n Steffan of The Blue Van...yeah, we were kinda lit.

I saw The Sights at Amoeba once. I have absolutely no recollection of it.

I just downloaded it. Listening to "what ya gonna do?"
Damn, that's good stuff!
I'm getting my rocks off listening to it! I think...?

Yes. That is an accepted definition of "getting yer rocks off".
Glad you like the album. I play that thing all the time.

I really like The Sights but dont consider them Stonesy. Cool band but more like a garage version of Mott The Hoople.
anyone out there listen to Bulldog?

Check out the Reigning Sound version of I'd Much Rather be with the Boys. One of the lamest Stones songs ever actually turned into a Stonesy sounding cool song.

Not sure, they really sound like the Stones a lot, but they're not them. I hear them and all I can think of is another band, I don't know if that is a good thing.

American Minor is another good stones inspired band. Their production is a bit cleaner than the garage bands listed above.

the chesterfield kings sound a bit like em and are really influenced by em. the album "lets go get stoned" is really good and they are amazing live.
the brian jonestown massacre are awesome too. cool music with lots of different instruments, i guess thats the brian jones influence there. check out the album "strung out in heaven"
18th January 2007 10:46 AM
Sir Stonesalot
Agreed LAMF. The Chesterfield Kings and The BJM are great, and wear their Stones influences on their sleeves.
Neither band is really "new" though. The Kings have been kickin' for close to 25 years. BJM has been around for about 12 years.
And both are more influenced by the Brian era Stones, more than Taylor of Woody era Stones. Which is a good thing, IMO. I think that sound suits each band better.
I've seen both bands live...The Chesterfield Kings x 5. BJM had a Dig!(great rock n roll movie even if you don't care for BJM or The Dandy Warhols) moment when I saw them. I had to duck a flying guitar case. It was nuts.
Here's a pic of The Chesterfield Kings that I took the last time I saw them. I took home part of a mic stand that Prevost busted up.
