although I adore Zep, this crosses the line for me way too much
it's not original enough
no likey
I like them by the way
There is some good stuff.
The bassist has some chops for sure - in fact I would go as far as to say the bassist is the standout on the album. I know, controversial, but if you crank it and try and hone in on the bass the things he does... Yah.
I think they are poor. I don't understand the point of this sort of thing. I'd prefer to listen to LZ.
In fact the more I listen, the more I can't quite believe how much of a LZ tribute act they are. The singer is blatantly aping Plant.
I read a review by The Quietus, which I thought was a bit savage, but tbh, they are bang on.
I quite like them for a bit of fun, but I think bands need more than one influence. And to be a great band one of your influences should be yourselves i.e. a slice of originality.
They are young however and we need bands like this so other kids pick up guitars again, so it can only be a good thing overall.
But give them a bit of time and they may develop into something slightly less Zep centric.

Maybe they should just list their influences as Jake Holmes, Spirit, Joan Baez and Willie Dixon, and let the lawyers pick the bones out of it.
Yeh, right up to the bit where he said "in actuality". FFS!
He also likes "Only Friend" by The Temperance Movement, "I feel love" by Donna Summers, "Sail" by Awolnation, "Song for Sonny Liston" by Mark Knopfler, and the washing machine cycle on "Rinse". That's pretty much it.

I do think it’s great to see younger bands playing guitar and doing bluesy rock though so good luck them
