I agree most of these bands maybe on majors but that doesn't mean their records
are no good. If I find something interesting on an indie then I'll buy that too.
As far as The Shazam goes that was one I bought and threw straight back out.
Crap and no mistake and certainly not in the same league as M3 & Tsar etc.
Wonderland ? now your talking. Thay are great but they don'r really sound like the bands mentined on this thread. They are more sort of traditional with a Stonesy, Black Crowes kind of feel here & there with a singer who can sound like Freddie Mercury.
On the the musicianship front a lot of these bands can play just as well as anyone else. Listen to Tsar and then call me a liar if you dare.
