Not what you may have thought, I literally woke up listening to this new band about an hour ago after nodding out listening to tunes.

I woke up confused as hell too. My brain was trying to figure out who the hell I was listening to and was stuck on a cross between Ronnie James Dio and The Late Jack Russel of Great White except it wasn’t any song I had ever heard before.

It was good too.

So I shook the cobwebs off and went looking at what I was listening to.

It’s kind of an updated 80’s sound but it is definitely Rock and Roll.

Come to find out it’s a new band called Elegant Weapons and it is the brain child of Richie Faulkner, a guitarist for Judas Priest the last several years.

I’m pretty sure that if you listen to this whole album you will hear something that you like. For example a great cover of UFO’s Lights Out is in here. . As far as I can tell, that is the only cover, the rest is all original material and there is some bluesy sounding tunes here too.

Give it a listen.
