What are some good blues rock bands like white stripes and black keys?

DVD Josh

Since when are the white stripes blues rock? In any event, check out The Kills, who may also not be, but since you like BK, you might like them too.

Why not start with the band that started it all?
That'd be THE GUN CLUB

Pick up Fire Of Love right away, then go for Miami and Death Party.

Gun Club is really good, the Sympathy reissues don't add much to the realm of reissues but are nice enough and worth owning instead of trying to find the more expensive route of the originals. I could write a giant list of bands that you would like the White Stripes and such but instead I am going to tell you to check out www.grunnenrocks.nl and check out their bands link. Or check out www.garagepunk.com. They talk about broken blues, trash rock, etc. etc. Also, I like http://www.terminal-boredom.com/ for reviews and such.

Oh, Grunnenrocks also has an awesome radio show you can stream. Check it out so you can hear some of the goodness.

Bluesy rock: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Country punk rock: Social Distortion (post the debut it's not really punk)

Band White Stripes borrowed from: Flat Duo Jets

Thee Shams--they're labelmates (Fat Possum) with the Black Keys...actually, a lot of stuff on Fat Possum might be right up your alley.

The Heartless Bastards
Two Gallants

Holly Golightly

Too bad they already got dropped by Fat Possum this year. If you like Thee Shams, they are very Rolling Stones style garage-blues and you will probably like the Greenhornes, too.

Modey Lemon "Thunder + Lightning"

They are from Pittsburgh and Jack White called them "The hottest band out of Pitt-town since The Swamp Rats." With their newest album they added a third person and now have a sound that is...less harsh, but Thunder + Lightning is similar to White Stripes style.

ChrisKnudsen

The new Modey Lemon record is good and would recomend it, too. Also, I forgot to mention that Jack White did a record with the lost kings of 3rd wave Detroit garage the Hentchmen and you would probably dig that. Hey lukewarm, did you check out that band list on grunnen?

ChrisKnudsen

Also, her band Thee Headcoatees is better than Thee Headcoats in my opinion and I can listen to her solo stuff over Billy Childish's almost anyday.

Blues Rock = The Allman Brothers Band

Doo Rag is a must

Check out The Hard Lessons

I'm suprised at the amount of bands listed that sound NOTHING like the OP's bands. But check out Mr. Airplane Man.

ChrisKnudsen

OP's band? Mr. Airplane is good. C'mon DJ is a desired taste, though.

OP=original poster, ie. white stripes and black keys

I agree with you. A lot of the bands listed are quite different from what the OP was asking but still pretty good. The Greenhornes would prob be the best mentioned from what's been listed so far.

I've never heard of Mr. Airplane but looking forward to checking them out.

dpganz

I've been checking out some of the bands listed, and using amazon to find similar bands. I didn't mean all of them were way off... but. Anyway, this thread rocks because moving from some of the listed bands, and checking into Fat Possum records, I've found at least 5 new bands that I really need to listen to now Thanks for this thread!

lukewarm - If you're looking for that 'white stripes vibe' then definitely check out The Kills (think it's already been mentioned) they get a little old after a while but will definitely give you a good fix.

Also....and I know many will disagree with this, but check out The Hives - while the music is completely different, I think you may really like them and end up listening to them a lot. I would reccomend picking up Tyrannosaurous Hives as a huge White Stripes fan, I find myself listening to the Hives on a regular basis as well.

The Heartless Bastards are pretty good as well (already mentioned).

And finally, check out the The Soledad Brothers they only had one album but The Stripes love them and did a cover of "going back to memphis" on their "Under Blackpool lights" DVD.

Check out my radioshow tonite at www.kjhk.org. It is on at midnite central time and runs until 4. It is my last show so everything tonite is probably going to be nothing but favorites of mine plus some classic punk stuff so it should pretty accessiable so no noise garage for the most part (which my show has been going towards in the vein of the Hospitals, Intellegence and So Many Many White White Tigers).

Cherry Valance, Baby Woodrose are ok sometimes

If you are open to it, check out the 60s-70s blues rockers. That's where the peak of the movement was. As much as I love the Black Keys (and hate the White Stripes) they don't hold my interest like the classics from:

Led Zeppelin
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
Free
Savoy Brown
ZZ Top
Allman Brothers Band
