Swedish hard rock revivalists Graveyard garnered a ton of praise (and no shortage of flattering Led Zeppelin comparisons) for last year’s Hisingen Blues.
From Sweden, really glossy and littered with lyrical cliches, the title track is catchy and hopeful and a little naughty, in an airbrushed boy band kinda way.
Room to breathe, subtle and singable leads, impressive (but not showoff) rhythm and bass and drumming (numerous fills to make Mastodon fans nod appreciatively).
The Swedes craft some fine rock tunes, playable in any decade, with strong vocals (manly, but with a bit of humility), and duel guitars that don’t wank.
