Retro-rock has become a crucial facet of modern music. With the emergence of new-wave noisers the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and England's cock-rockers The Darkness, do listeners have enough room for Vinyl Throwback? Well We certainly think so.
The overall feel of the Vinyl Throwbacks music calls to mind early Black Crowes, later Bon Jovi, a twist of Matchbox Twenty, and a whole lot of dive-bar sexuality. Front man Johnny Higgs, Jr. mixes enough androgyny and swagger to make any big-haired honey do a hip-shake, while the rock continues on the verge of inciting a bluesy brawl.
The style of retro, Vinyl Throwback kicks is just what the doctor ordered. While most current bands draw from late '70s to early '80s, Throwback is geared toward a late-80s, early-90s sound. Audiences been waiting for a sound like Vinyl Throwback for years. Now is the time to rock the moment.
