14022014 - Bang "Mother/Bow to the King"

I discovered this band when the fine label Rise Above Relics re-released their earliest stuff that Capitol Records originally had refused to release back in 1971 because they were complete and utter tossers, thus making Bang's second album, simply titled "Bang" effectively their official debut. This, however, is their third album, and it's a great one too! We're talking classic hard rock that no fan of Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath or Mountain should miss out on! Great, soulful vocals, molten guitars and some nicely placed organ here and there makes this a winner in my book! And while writing this post I just found out that Bang just last month announced their second reunion, so let's see what they have to offer in 2014...
