The Blue Van

[Gods Favourite]

Am I the only one who's a fan of these guys? They're a band from Denmark and they never really got big here in Denmark, but I know they have a small fanbase in USA.

They're so fucking awesome though. Sounds a bit like everything, from Wolfmother to The Libertines to Kings of Leon to Arctic Monkeys etc.

Just read this description:

"There once was a time in the history of rock 'n' roll when being in a band wasn't about which member was in rehab, or lost in the desert because of some bad 'shrooms. There was just the music, and that music could speak louder than any endorsements or MTV reality shows. Groups like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Kinks started a revolution of electrified, snarling rock that would inspire for decades.

Unfortunately, this music was also left up high on a shelf for decades. Until one day, a quartet from rural Denmark dusted off those riffs and brought forth a refreshing brand of pure, unadulterated bluesy rock unheard for too long.

Vocalist/guitarist Steffen Westmark, organist (yes, ORGANIST) Soren Christensen, bassist Allen Villadsen, and drummer Per Jorgenson have revived the chords of a gritty rock attitude, to show people that it was never supposed to be about the drugs and money, but about the power-jam and all-out blues wail that gave shivers. In Denmark, the "blue van" comes to take people to the loony bin - while you're there, take a shot of Blue Van rock 'n' roll."

The Blue Van - I'm A Man (theres also rap in this, sounds killer)

The Blue Van - Put My Name In The Sand

The Blue Van - Man Up

You should definitely buy (or "buy") the album Man Up, pure rock n' roll.

Just bumping this to let you guys know, that the iPad-commercial that premiered last night during the Oscar-commercials has a song by The Blue Van. They're really, really excited about this, since they're still pretty small, so this is a big chance for them to break through.
