It sure seems like there's a hell of a lot of really good young bands coming out in the classic rock/metal style these days... and it looks like we may be witnessing finally a comeback for this style of music...who do you think are the cream of the crop of new talent? My list will follow below  |

NIghtwatcher - I haven't heard too many on your list, but I agree with Endeverafter and The Showdown. I tried both after someone (maybe you) gave a review of their cd's and definitely was NOT disappointed. A third band I'd like to add Is American Dog. Their album "Hard" blew me away. That's what's great about a place like this. There's 3 bands I probably never would have heard of if not for you fine people at RNRU. Keep on rockin'!!!!

Black Stone Cherry are a very kick ass young band. Probably my favorite band right now. They will only get better with experience. If Silvertide stays together and puts out another album they would certainly be in contention for best of the young bands. The Answer and Priestess are very good. Wolfmother shows some potential. I also like everything I've heard from "Black Tide" since spaced posted the link. I hear them on Sirius radio channel 20 Octane all the time. " As mere teenagers ranging in age from 14 to 19 years old, Black Tide (formerly called Radio) share a surprising affinity for metal bands that hit their career peaks and vanished behind the curtain of grunge well before any members of the group were born. Citing guitar virtuosos Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Steve Vai as influences, as well as the more traditionally referenced metal trendsetters like Metallica and Slayer, the boys make heavy-hitting speed metal that would sit right at home in the mid-'80s, blaring over the opening credits of MTV's Headbanger's Ball. Bassist Zachary Sandler, drummer Steven Spence, and guitarists Gabriel Garcia and Alex Nunez got their big breaks when they were invited to play the main stage of Ozzfest in August of 2007. Swinging their long manes of black hair wildly and shredding explosively, they caught the attention of Interscope Records, which made plans to release their debut album, Light from Above, in early 2008, just after they started a tour with Avenged Sevenfold." by Jason Lymangrover Allmusic.com I'm interested to know what Nightwatcher and other more discerning rockers than I think of Black Tide.

I'd be doing them a great disservice if I didn't also mention Silvertide, American Minor, Crystal Pistol,and as Pete mentioned, Black Stone Cherry.
