[music] American Motherload

These guys are old-school to the hilt. I think the best way to describe them is that they've got a certain swagger about them that seems very emblematic of the American bands that followed in the wake of Led Zeppelin. A little KISS, a little AC/DC, maybe even a bit of earlier solo Sammy Hagar, if you can believe it. And they even have a superfluous keyboardist, making the late 70s tag fit even more. That said, they've definitely tapped into a current of people who long for that sound, not exactly classic rock fans, but just, again, "old-school" rock fans. On some level, you could draw lines to more recent bands like Soundgarden, but I think the more accurate way to look at it is that American Motherload is influenced by the same kinds of bands that influenced Soundgarden and the like.
