d4mo Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 So Lately I've been trying to get into some of the new "80's" bands. Crashdiet and Veins of Jenna mostly. As for new 80's bands this is prob as close as we will get. While I thse bands are ok, there is something about them that makes them sound too much like modern radio rock bands, and I can't decide what it is. I mean they totally look the part, and I think thats pretty badass.From what I can tell the guitar seems to be mostly there. I think it may be the vocals that don't do it for me. I'm not sure.Now I know they can't and maybe even aren't trying to sound 100% 80s, but for sake of discussion what makes it sound different?

Chronos Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Crash Dïet is far way better than most of the actual rock/metal bands, even better than the actual G N' R, you just have to listen to the Rest IN Sleaze CD to know that.Listen to, Gemini Five, Dirty Penny, Jail Bait, and Hardore Superstar, there pretty sweet bands too. Btw Dirt Penny isn't swedish, but its a really great glam band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 This band isn't glam metal, but more on the glam punk side. I'd give Towers of London a listen. You can hear an influence from bands like The Sex Pistols and Guns N' Roses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiipu Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I like pretty much all the bands from above I've wondered where you could get Jail Bait music as CD etc? Even the myspace page has shut down after Cruz joined Crash Diet... (Bastards canceled gig here in Finland this friday... Ah well, at least HCSS will play ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I kinda know the guys in Jailbait, or rather they're friends of a friend. They haven't released any cd's yet, they did have two songs available for download at their myspace before the singer left the band... They've got a new myspace, I think - not sure. They play round here at times, they're pretty good live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye2eye Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Geez your list isn't complete without 1. Babylon Bombs - they have just released new CD - fucking brilliant - - Liberation - Hometown Hero these are on youtube but on both their albums - Babylon's Burining and Doin' It Nasty they have stronger tracks in my opinion. 2. Hell N' Diesel - Mindblowing, great music, lame name. Their CD "Passion For Power" just rocks - Miss Cocaine - Fallin' THEIR CD IS A GEM, "Crosses(Kixx)" is great song very AFD style medium tempo rocker.

Shuffle Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I actually saw Babylon Bombs live a couple of months ago...Jailbait were opening so my friend dragged me along, Babylon Bombs weren't particularly good live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 lol, Crashdïet.I own their debut album, some cracking songs on there iirc. Must've been 4-5 years since I gave it a spin. Didn't the lead singer take his own life or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye2eye Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I actually saw Babylon Bombs live a couple of months ago...Jailbait were opening so my friend dragged me along, Babylon Bombs weren't particularly good live.Yeah maybe I would like to see them live but haven't had opportunity. But on CD they are very good and I love Hell N' Diesel cool band. Almost forgot one more Swedish band - Bacjyard Babies - they have been playing for over 20years I think and produced some kick ass songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfSiEsNu2iQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiipu Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Not swedish but cool sleaze band from France I think is Black Rain. Check them out Then I dare you to check one swedish rock band more in the vein of AC/DC: BulletSome kick ass shit there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkbgNnUp4G0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Backyard Babies are better than every other band in this thread...they're great live too. The only possible exception is Hardcore Superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possible exception is Hardcore Superstar.Yeah Backyard Babies are great , seen them live great show. Hardcore Superstar are good too, but they are more metal/hard rock than sleaze but also kick ass band, but I still love Hell N' Diesel CD good stuff. French sleaze band ? WoW pretty cool that there is some quality rock music in France cos France is all about gey techno/pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
