Music can feel like a favorite pair of jeans—too good to ever leave behind. But music runs deeper. It’s personal. That makes it difficult to avoid getting trapped in a private music bubble, continuously replaying the same albums to get that familiar but still thrilling feeling. Yet that quashes exploration and expansion, and it certainly doesn’t help the music industry flourish or provide any opportunities for young artists to become the next big thing.
Rockhound reviews are meant to expose readers, and avant rock music listeners, to current rock artists who draw inspiration from classic bands, such as The Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin. But these artists don’t just mimic that classic rock sound. They are creating a sound that is completely their own—and that deserves the same recognition we afford the names above.
