Hmmm I don't know.

They'd need to have a brummie accent , support a lower league football club have a member called Big Dave for me to be REALLY interested.

They have a dude named Turkey, a singer who used to look like Ellen Degeneres and a guy who is really good at Fifa Soccor on Wi...close enough?

Would you consider America to be one of those bands?

Horse with no Name is not a metal song. It's barely aluminum

The Detroit thing is a big sticking point.

Thats practically exotic compared to Scunthorpe or Hull

Being born in Ireland aside, I can tell you Detroit is anything but exotic.

ah damn, I didn't see the big "metal" part of that....

Yeah but i'm from a small island. I can relate to the hopelessness of a shitty British seaside resort much more than a big Amercian city.

Certainly. Personally I've enjoyed the renaissance of metal music here stateside.

Local clubs are full of great music these days, you just got to wade through the shit to find the diamonds.

At least you have local clubs.

I went to a Billy Childish gig here a couple of years back. (The first proper gig here in about 5 years of any band)
