Rock became more sophisticated in the '70s. The following ReduxRock listings offer everything from Acid Rock to Blues Funk. The artist links will connect you with talented singers and musicians who are recording new music inspired by the classic sounds of the 1970s.
The Second One
Symphony in DeMeanor
New pop/rock with sounds from the past. This album was described by one critic as falling somewhere between Pink Floyds Dark Side Of The Moon album and the Beatles Revolver album. The band has a retro sound that's completely new.
Rhymes With Music
Pat Cusick
Retro '70s sound with out-of-the-ordinary song topics. Pat Cusick is a songwriter/performer whose songs cover everything from normal issues, like love and cars, to more unusual song subjects such as cemeteries, Amelia Earhart, the Wright Brothers, middle-age health issues, and more!
Snew You
Snew
"The illegitimate stepchildren of Alice Cooper and the Ramones, schooled by Motorhead. If you like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin SNEW is your salvation! If you want to think about society less and rock more, go on and Get Snewed."
Recovery
Chazz deMeyer
"As a song writer, I've tried to portray the moments that had a profound impact on my life. I try to write as honestly and openly as I can, knowing that many others have shared those experiences as well. Back after a 30-year "vacation," I write about love, loss, hope, joy and the sheer bliss of being alive. The musical styles vary based on the stories portrayed through the lyrics."
The Mezzanine
The Nobility
A humble little rock band based in Nashville, TN. On their new album, The Nobility broadens their rock repertoire with a deeper exploration of narrative lyrics and less conventional arrangements. The sessions were documented to magnetic 2-inch tape on classic 1970s analog gear.
Aquaplanage
Aquaplanage
A '70s-'80s sound reminiscent of Yes and others. "Their music is true to the original script of Progressive Rock...the influences are there to be heard.... however, it is much more than a nostalgic reflection of a golden age."
Mars Project
Mars Project
Canadian rockers influenced by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple. "Our mission? To write and play music that we enjoy, an alternative if you may, to the formula rock that's been on the radio for decades."
Brothers Of The Left Hand Path
Mellow Down Easy "This Nashville band's songs are a soulful mixture of guitar-driven, classic rock-flavored, Chicago blues-inspired music which is all tied together by a unique, highly original sound that is all of their own."
Rule
The Lizards
Dynamic and energetic, '70's style blues-funk rock band, the members of which almost read like an edition of Rock's Who's Who, with former members from Riot, BOC, Rainbow and Sabbath.
Squarewheel
Squarewheel
"Back to the classic and familiar sounds of the 60s and 70s. With The Faces, Humble Pie, Robert Johnson, The Grateful Dead and more influencing their music. Witty lyrics and strong vocals, combined with soulful yet sometimes in your face guitar, giving it that classic feel you know and love."
JOHNFISH SPARKLE
Johnfish Sparkle
"A mix of Delta Blues with the strong classic rock style of '70s Hard rock bands like THE WHO, LED ZEPPELIN, CREAM, BUDGIE, and HUMBLE PIE. JOHNFISH SPARKLE is at the front of the new retro rock movement in Italy."
Ultra
Ultra
"Awesome 70s hard rock band from Texas with smokin' dual lead guitars sounding like a mix of ZZ Top, Ted Nugent and Thin Lizzy" (and with a touch of Hendrix on some of the vocals).
