Kids of today ... pah!

[thebrig]

They were signed to Elton John's Rocket Music Management, who said "[i]They have a knowledge of R&B and blues at 16 years of age that I have only amassed in my 65 years. They're just like a breath of fresh air[/i]."

Personally, I think they are great, and I'm the wrong side of sixty.

On their album [b][i]Snapshot[/i][/b], they wrote nine of the twelve songs, so not bad for kids so young.
Here's [b][i]Blue Collar Jane[/i][/b] which was penned by them.

As for the way they dress? It's nothing new, bands have been manufactured for years, just take a look at the pics below.

Brilliant! That's my Autumn look sorted.

I think they're bloody fab.
For guys as young as they are to be turning out the music they are is a joy to me. I think they look great, sound great and show a maturity and understanding of their musical genre well beyond their years.

A breath of fresh air I reckon.

Respect for playing that well at that age but that performance felt like it was dragging and the phrasing could be a lot better in parts.

[BigBassBob]

Just to clarify I don't mean to sound mean, my comment was a bit like, it's good but could be better.

I'm sure those guys will grow up to be pretty talented musos.

Why was I expecting the guitarist to go into "Third stone from the sun" halfway through the solo?

I enjoyed it the clip. Tons of energy. I remember going to our school "dance" in 1967 (I was 15) and seeing a local band called the Cliff Charles blues band. 100 miles per hour all night. Great stuff.

I think they are already talented, and they do what they do really well.

It's sharp and to the point, I love it!

[Jazzneck]

Well done - Great stuff - just like wot we were doing at their age in 1963.

Best of luck to them!

[Adrenochrome]

Plenty of energy, I enjoyed the performance. Nothing new at all musically but it was fun.

Well groomed.
