Anyway, here’s the deal – one of my favorite breakout bands of 2007 is uber-nerd rockers, Witch’s Hat on Columbia, MO’s Emergency Umbrella Records. Now, I’m here to talk about another EUR band, Bald Eagle. Not to be confused with Eagles of Death Metal, or even the Eagles, Bald Eagle soars with wings of their own (that was gay, sorry). Think fuzzed out bass guitar, sloppy drums, high-energy guitar antics and all the ’70s rock influences you can possibly muster up in 30 seconds (AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Who) then remove the classy vocals and add some grating rawk-star lungs and you’ve got Bald Eagle. Their new album, Hot Shoulders came out today as well so pick it up and catch them live.
