Bring on the power and soul that epitomizes the true foundation of rock n' roll. With blues-infused heavy electric guitars, these few tracks are sure to enliven your ears.
Alabama Shakes "Hold On" - Alabama Shakes EP
With only a 4 song EP released, this new band has been attracting some good indie cred from the likes of NPR and KEXP. One listen and its easy to tell why, lead singer Brittany Howard has some major pipes. Howard transforms into a Southern rock, bluesy temptress in "Hold On," playing with the length and timing of her notes, stretching them to their limits before exploding in full power.
Band of Skulls "Sweet Sour" - Sweet Sour
Good things are sure to come musically in 2012 for Band of Skulls judging by an early preview of the title track "Sweet Sour." With their album officially coming out in February, these English rockers are prime for a breakout following in the likes of The White Stripes and The Kills.
The Black Keys "Lonely Boy" - El Camino
The most recognizable of the three bands, The Black Keys had a monster of a year in 2010 with the inescapably brilliant album Brothers. Just this past week, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney released El Camino, the group's seventh studio album together. The first single "Lonely Boy" is fun, fast, and an instant hit from where they last left off. You can visit their website for the full music video.
