Rose Hill Drive, 'Moon Is the New Earth' (Megaforce)
Have probably heard "Dude, can you play 'Slow Ride'?" a lot.

A power trio as an experiment in Skinner-box songcraft: Tell two brothers and a pal that culture ended in 1973 and then record the results. So you've got meaty hard rock that can jam with Bonnaroo and thrash with Warped. They love their "Trans Am" sans irony (because who doesn't?), which means swing and torque are everything. "Do You Wanna Get High?" is an acoustic laugh ("Really is fantastic / You don't even know, man") that turns into a Zeppelin bomb. Hipness be damned, a tour with the Raconteurs would benefit both.
The best cd release of the year so far. The review posted is less a review and more of a drunken stoned ramble and to think they were paid for this ...Anyways ...Rose Hill Drive...a hard working band that deserves success, more so when you cast your eyes over a lot of the talentless drivel out there ..RHD are better live thats true...the cd's never quite capture the full power these guys put out. A worthy addition to any true rock fans collection...
Got something to say?
