we'll i'd have to say that HELIUM SOUL in the UK are my top band at the moment - they rock. I've seen them live twice now and they have this hugh raw blues/rock sound that i haven't heard since the likes of zepplin. Authentic too being as both the times i saw them they had loads of old valve kit and a massive hammond - with a leslie all on stage. I wanted to find outmore about them as I think their pretty new on the scene and i came across their website
www.heliumsoul.com - there's sound sound bytes on their too from an album they've recorded - apparently out soon - have to keep my eye out for it
