keeprighton2 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Been listening to the debut album by Alberta Cross, Anglo-Swedish duo who left London for New York last year and mushroomed into a powerful five-piece. Started off as just two of them playing a folky blues but they've grown into a rocking monster playing melodic, soulful rock and blues. Some top tunes and great, soaring, lonesome vocal from Swedish front man. Recommended, watch out for them. Think they played Bonaroo, SXSW and Glastonbury. First full length album out next week I think. Short seven-track taster came out a couple of years ago. MMJ, Band Of Horses, Neil Young fans will like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tangara Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Brilliant stuff. I saw them at Roo, Lolla and will be seeing them at ACL...really powerful live band. The vocal has a bit of Shannon Hoon feel at times, which I personally love. The new record has some 80's hair band moments, but in all the best possible ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
