I heard these guys on Comcast Music Choice. They really take their cues from the Floyd in a big way. It's one thing to rip off Zeppelin or AC/DC. Let's face it, that's not too hard to do. Copying Floyd, though, is much tougher to do right, and these guys seem to get it right.

Thoughts?

Wow, I woulda thought there's at least one Floyd fan here...

Ace Of Spades

I think there's plenty of Floyd fans around here (I'm a very mild one). Buuuut, I checked out this band and heard just as much that sounded like Sabbath and a little Type O Negative as it did Floyd. And, um, really? I found the songwriting incredibly lacking. Not trying to threadcrap, sorry...just stating what I heard when I checked them out.

I love Floyd but I can't get into myspace at work. Will check it out later.

I think Pink Floyd fans would be better served checking out Orbit Service.

The one guy on the right does kinda looks like David Gilmour. So far I can "In The Flesh" and a bit on "Echoes". I also hear a bit Ozzy.

I'm a long-time Pink Floyd fan and my thoughts are this band sounds nothing like the Floyd at all.

(I'm not knocking them, though, they seem fine for what they are doing - it's just not the same kind of sound as PF.)

Did you listen to "Money, It's Pure Evil?" That solo sounds right from "Comfortably Numb."

Ace Of Spades

Are you sure you're not a member of Bigsuck, I mean Bigelf? Because that solo sounds ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the one from "CN"....and I've played for over 30 yrs, and have known the "CN" solo for about 28.

Also a Floyd fan, didn't enjoy the posted band. Sorry, OP. Thanks, though -- I'm always up for music recommends.

They're good, but I would never have associated them with Floyd.
