Wow.. Im not sure how too feel about that.. Its not just influence there, its proper in the style of..
Not being horrible or anything cos it sounded pretty good an all but I wonder what the point is if they are going to be that close in style they may as well be a really good tribute band (which it wouldn't surprise me if that's how they started)...
Hmmm...

There's another thread about them here:

That said, they are very young and just starting out really so give them a while and maybe they’ll find their own thing.

Greta Van Fleet are not on the same level (perhaps this needs the qualifier 'yet') but I'll keep my eye on them.
They are quite derivative and only seem to have one influence, where Jellyfish were a pastiche of many things.

Ohh yeah. Im not really being negative.. They sounded good.. And as you say they are young so have time to do their own thing... I guess this is as good a way to get attention as any? But still.. To put your music out there in such a way where people are only generally going to compare them to Zep, im not sure if that's a good place to be or not?

Ok, so I saw a vid that goes back to 2014.. Thought id see if this Led Zep thing was new for them or not..
If anything this is even MORE like Led Zep

No.. this is WAY more than just sounds like.. They may as well be playing Zeppelin songs.... From the band set up to the singer, guitar solos and main riffs and the mini drum solo at the end...
And I don't see anyone bemoaning.... They are just SO much like Zep that it cant be ignored... In fact we had already said they sounded good and are young so maybe will take it further and do their own thing (which I hope they do).. I don't see an issue with saying that?

Its also a bit of a catch 22. New, original and pushing the boundaries doesn’t usually get many fans or sell many records. Seems the only way to make a career in the music industry is to adopt a tried and tested formula.
Still, it’s good that they’re very good young musicians and will hopefully keep guitar based music going a bit.
But, I do wonder if bands that adopt such a strong likeness to a band of yesteryear are living in a nostalgic denial and can’t accept they weren’t born in the right decade to enjoy the real thing first time round so they keep their fav band alive by almost becoming them.

There was a lot of 50s styled stuff around in the 80s if I remember, for example. Shakin Stevens and Stray Cats and a rake of others... Perhaps it’s the ‘listening to your parents record collection’ cycle of music... Maybe?
Anyway, I agree. GVF - good band. Let’s see where they take it.
It isn't loose, in the way Zep are loose- they are just out of time.
Good to see they have progressed- I hope they shake their influences a bit- or at least get a few more.

I am however, despite the whinging, quite looking forward to hearing if they broaden the sound and allow a bit more of themselves to come through.
Compared to the Temperance Movement or Rival Sons (or even something like Radio Moscow) they aren't yet on nearly the same level but I gather they are a lot younger than those bands.
Wake me in two more albums.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Id heard so much about them and how great they were that when I actually did hear them it was a bit “meh, really?” to me, so I do share the same sentiments to be honest. I like them, they’re good, I acknowledge the sound but also prefer it.

The band is good but I've read they have taken stick in the USA where they are seen as ripping Led Zep off. Someone odd view given Zep ripped off many black blues artists.
