Black Stone Cherry – Folklore And Superstition (2008)

Black Stone Cherry formed in the summer of 2001 in a small town in Kentucky. Playing Southern hard rock, Black Stone Cherry emphasize community and local color in their songs. Though they draw comparisons to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Stone Cherry focus less on Southern pride and classic rock, instead telling simple stories about family and romantic relationships that feature the crunch of
contemporary hard rock. The band’s frontman is Chris Robertson, who also plays the occasional slide guitar.

The Pineapple Thief – All the Wars (2012)

The album is the latest step for the band who over the last few years have truly emerged onto a higher stage… bigger and better tours, triumphant festival slots, recording at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios, artwork designed by Storm Thorgerson and new management all give the sense of act who are destined for greater things.

Much of this is down to the band’s 2010 album, Someone Here Is Missing, and the reaction it received. While this release, along with 2008’s Tightly Unwound, was many people’s introduction to the band they have actually spent the past ten years quietly building up a dedicated fan base across the globe, selling over 50,000 records and nurturing their ‘bittersweet’ progressive sound.

All The Wars marks another leap in the band’s progression, as frontman Bruce Soord continues to mature as a songwriter and the band’s ever growing confidence and status allows them to move in bold musical directions, including the use of a 22-piece string section and a choir. Soord explains, ‘no expense has been spared regarding the production of this record but at its heart it’s still a rock record. It’s very heavy in parts and very delicate and beautiful in others.’
