I just discovered some crazy feckers called Foxy Shazam.
Someone on a songwriter forum sent me a link with "if I know you like I think I do, you gotta check these guys out..."
At first it was WTF... but wow! :lol:
Their latest one isn't on spotify yet, but I'm listening to the previous one.
Like the Darkness but somewhat more to my taste. Don't find the guitaring quite as yummy as the Hawkins guys, but the songwriting/arranging and the general off-the-wall-ness are fantastic for my money.
Apparently they supported the Darkness recently, so some of you guys might have seen them. I understand they weren't appreciated by the Darkness crowd in this country, though... I can see why. Brian May's a big fan of the Darkness, but Freddie Mercury would've loved this lot...
Think I might even have to buy some music for the first time in months...
