My tribute to THE WILDHEARTS
Alright, you asked for it..
Well - everyone probably knows I'm a huge fan of
Dream Theater. But they're fairly well known so they don't count here. Another highly underrated band is
W.A.S.P., but again - they're well known.
Which brings me to a band you guys probably haven't heard of:
The Wildhearts !!11one
They. Fucking. Rock. Period.
It's the most underrated, best-rock-band-you-have-never-heard-of, musically talented hard rock/prog-punk band you'll ever hear.
Musically I guess they're a blend of Green Day, Motley Crue, Kiss, and Clash. Their songs are usually drenched in catchy riffs, epic choruses, and songs you catch yourself humming in your head all day long.
Here are just some of their butt-kickin' anthems:

Give some of these songs a listen. If you're into good ol' straight hard rock, I guarantee you'll like them.
