Title: The Black Keys
Post by: theis on Jan 05, 2010, 04:56 PM
My new obsession.

I heard their song "Set You Free" and my first thought was "hmm, what's this awesome 60's band I've been missing out on?". Then I find out it's two white dudes in their 30's who's making this music. A drummer and a guitarist and you have some of the most awesome RAW blues-rock.

These guys just rock. Simple as that.

Yupp such a sick band.  Just also recently got into them.  Check out Blakroc.  They write all of the music for that project.

This band is awesome, can't remember how I came across them, but I do enjoy them lots!

Another good band to check out with a similar sound to The Black Keys is Radio Moscow - http://www.myspace.com/radiomoscow (http://www.myspace.com/radiomoscow)

pretty cool stuff.

it's becoming a trend to play blues-rock with only drums and guitar. I personally love the swedish band Johnossi who do the same, although with a lot more pop-ish sound:

Good to see people are digging them .

I seriously can't stop listening. Some of the best rock I've heard in a long fucking time.

Can't go wrong with simplicity.

These guys are an awesome, edgy blues-rock duo.  I would say MAGIC POTION is their best record, just slightly ahead of RUBBER FACTORY. Although, you really can't go wrong if you decide to spin any one of their studio records.

Great album cover!  I love it when bands do shit out of the ordinary.  Should be a great album.

So did anyone else feel that Brothers was a bit of a let down?

yes i did. the album was easily forgotten amongst the other good releases this year.

I think it's pretty damn solid.

Definitely better than "Attack & Release".
