Finally, a good rock band from the UK


Orange Goblin

I can't think of any, although I'm sure there have been a few good rock bands from the UK since Deep Purple, and Sabbath. These guys are very much like the bands I just mentioned. Bassist, Martyn Millard has that Geezer Butler style overtone to his sound, which I like a lot, and gives that Sabbath sound to the band. The Guitars are very distorted and chunky, most of the riffs are more on the Blackmore side. There are a few Southern Rock sounding songs as well. If I had to make any modern day comparisons, I would say they would be in the same genre as Monster Magnet, Clutch, and COC. Very cool stuff. If you like listening to old school rock and roll, check these guys out.
