Most probably haven’t heard of them, but my band opened up for the guys as they made there way through our area. They were super cool dudes and totally down to earth. I talked gear with their lead guitarist, who rocks a jim root strat with JB/Jazz pickup set into an EVH 100w head. He is still
One of the guys who prefers tube amps, and he knows his shit too. It was great chatting with him. To me, he is one of the top guitarists in the game right now. He is a great mix of an EVH/Dimebag type of vibe with his solo’s and he stays tasteful and plays for the song which I appreciate out of guitar players these days. Anyways, if y’all are on YouTube checking music out one day or iTunes or whatever it is, check that bad out. They have some good upbeat hard rock/metal and a great vocalist as well
 
Cool! I will check them out. Nice guys are always a plus.
 
SOT kicks some ass. I like them. Happy to hear they were good people.
 
Bought their last cd when it came out. Good stuff.
 
Checked them out and came across this song. Totally dig it! :rock:

Yeah man, they are cool dudes and definitely still humble. I spent some time chatting with the main guitarist Jessie about gear. It’s always cool to see fellow “traditionalists” out there. He runs an EVh 5150 III with a Marshall 4x12, and a pedalboard with a precision drive, evh phase 90, and a couple other pedals. I’m not hating on the kemper/modeler crowd at all, but being a gear nerd I love seeing actual rigs other guys play

That’s a kick ass tune. They have a cover of sharp dressed man that’s badass as well. I know they do it live, just not sure it was actually ever recorded.
 
Awesome you got to open for them and hang a bit.. Been a fan of this band for many years. Good dudes, talented... hope they stick around for some time and gain more traction. Another band out of Texas I'm diggin' is Blacktop Mojo. :yes: :rock: Cheers
 
Cool song. Guitarist has great chops and phrasing. That's awesome you got to open for them. :thumbsup:
I too love seeing actual amps in action as opposed to modellers. Also great to hear details of how folks get their tone. I'm addicted to watching those Premier Guitar Rig Rundowns.
Hey do you have any vids of your band in action btw?

Here are a couple of clips from our last EP. we have since gotten back with the original vocalist and will have some new stuff out. I never cared for this vocalist, but my brother is our drummer and he made a strong push for him so we dealt with it. He is gone now so fuck it :lol: :LOL: . I’ll be sure and share the new stuff once it’s done. There will be some more intricate guitar work and solo’s in the new stuff



 
Definitely a bunch of good dudes. Played with them years ago. The singer has a SERIOUS Phil Anselmo vibe on stage

I thought the exact same thing about him. He is a killer vocalist but gives off that pantera vibe for sure ! I talked a good bit with most of the guys. Totally down to earth ready to party and have a good time type of guys.

Thanks for posting!
I really dig the more progressive style of your band. The guitar tones are right up my alley. Nice work. Very interested in hearing the new outfit with the more intricate guitar parts. When are you expecting to have some new material recorded?
 
Hey good stuff man, both from your band and the Sons of Texas!
 
Thanks firejack and Romanianreaper !

Also, I’ll definitely share the new stuff once it’s done. Going into the studio end of this month to finish it hopefully.
