any guitar-driven rock and roll, especially these important timefames: 1966 American Garage-Rock; 1977 British Punk; late 1980's/early 1990's Pacific Northwest weirdness and the sounds of the NYC Subway

Traditional HARD ROCK, played just a bit darker and sprinkled with infectious melodies. BLACK SABBATH mixed with THE BEATLES.
The Veins are a straight-ahead, heavy rock 'n' roll quartet without the bitter metal aftertaste or the rising bile of punk. Yes, they are loud and yes, they are intense, but unlike many of their contemporaries, they have a melodic ace up their sleeve. Kind of like Gabriel sweetly serenading you with his heavenly horn just before he brains you with it! The music kerrangs, it rages, it roars... you stagger away singing, your ears ringing!
Onstage, singer Dave careens as if in a perpetual free-fall. Lead guitarist Jet's fleet fingers earn him his own slack-jawed fan club on his side of the stage. Dos, the mysterious one with the intense gaze is "hands down, one of the best players I've ever played with" according to Dave. The ensemble is ultimately corralled by Rob's rat-a-tat, outta-the-garage drumming low-key cool. The four members display a common rock denominator... a desire to perform stellar material.
Thanxx for the Add guys, we LUV ya! As I'm totally addicted to Uncle Sam's first 2 albums, a special thanx to Dave and please, say HI to L.Miller if he's around. All the best, T69.
