I love discovering new '80s/'90s glam bands and further ensconcing myself in the "glam rock" wormhole (I passed the "rabbit hole" stage with KISS ages ago!) and your blog is a GOLDMINE. :)
I've got a LOT of research and listening to do. Suggestions are welcome!
(I won't touch Motley Crue with a 10-foot pole, either.)
Have a good day and keep rockin'!
hiii omg thank you,, im glad u like my blog ^-^
my top "underrated" bands i'd recommend right now are:
tuff (hee hee they're not actually underrated because i know A LOT of people listen to them,,, but i still feel like i need to suggest them in case you haven't listened to them before!)
hurricane (they have a very good, hard rock/pop beat. almost like king kobra, but the sound of Kelly Hansen's voice is very rich and velvety and their songs, i think, are much better quality in terms of composition and lyrics.. i really love them, i cannot recommend them enough!)
sons of angels (not a lot of discography to their name, and they're also disbanded, but i quite like their debut album. they are norwegian btw!)
heaven's edge (very good beats and they actually released a new album recently!! ... my favourite song of theirs is daddy's little girl.. once you listen to it, you'll understand why)
roxy blue (i find their music is a bit more on the metal side. the lead singer has a bit of a 'scratchy' voice, but it suits their style of playing very well)
sometimes, if i'm looking for new music but can't really find anyone, i just go through this list and pick out an artist i haven't listened to before, and sometimes it's good! alternatively, i discovered hurricane and sons of angels from watching old headbanger's ball episodes!!
hope that helps you and feel free to lmk what u thought!!!
