Review
It seems surprising that The Stone Chiefs have not had their big break yet. It should happen soon. The band’s infectuous southern-tinged hard rock has all the right chemistry for their songs to spread.
The Stone Chiefs have a commercially accessible sound but in a good way — if you took the elementary parts of Kings of Leon, the gristle of the Black Crowes, and tossed in a hint of Guns N’ Roses.
Songs like “Straight Pipes” have the powerhouse hard rock feel of the classic ’70s, while “Moxie” enchants with smooth boogie and intense lead guitar breaks. “Moxie” or “Mate of Mine” may be the stand out singles but the lazy atmosphere of “Vices” bleeds a melancholy that needs to be heard.
A strong showing for The Stone Chiefs with Drive On. Let’s see where it takes them.
All the way to the top, Rock and Roll like this is a new wave of the old Rock, nothing short of great and nothing else out there like this. Good stuff Rock on Stone Chiefs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree – anyone who hasn’t heard this band needs to get the CD, sit down with your favorite drink and take a serious listen to these guys. They are truly naturals and have what it takes to be nothing sort of awesome. Love there new cd “Drive On”
