Yeah, I missed the boat on this band. I didn't put two and two together when I saw Taylor Momsen - the singer - on That Metal Show with the song Heaven Knows. The Studio version of that song leaves me lacking a bit with the children's choir as it seems to be trying to hard t be a anthem.
I just filed the band away for one to check out and see but never got around to it. Until someone forced me to. So someone put down the lyrics to Take Me Down. I thought playing off the Crossroads story was cool and then I heard the song.
Yeah, it kinda caught me. So I went home and did some pulled up some tunes on Youtube, live stuff, and was wowed.
Totally digging her voice and the songs are old school yet new school. More hard rock but on the fringes of metal and her voice, with that rather damned good band. Not prog at all, or anything of that bent which usually is my leanings these days as most hard rock/heavy metal kinda bites.
Just cool songs.
So, I'll leave a couple videos.
Take Me Down, acoustic as I can't find a good recorded rock version.
Follow Me Down
Concert from iHeart radio festival. With a nod to Pink Floyd at the beginning of Heaven Knows which is really cool.
