People hear various influences in this bands sound. It seems to me their biggest influence is Andrew Wood/Mother Love Bone. The vocals certainly are a nod to Andy's stylings and there are references in the lyrics too.
Anyhow, this is a great album and I'm not aware of anyone else (tho' I'm sure there is someone) who is covering this territory.
It's sleazy and swaggering mixed with a stoner heaviness and I keep coming back to it.
A Nice album cover doesn't hurt too! Crinklechips
