When I run across music from the 80’s that I have never heard of, I always ask, “How did I miss that band?” I ask that same question in regards to the band Treat. How the heck did I miss this hard rock goodness?
I’ve been reading about their new album, Coupe de Grace, and how good it was. It hasn’t been released in the States yet, but I could get a taste of their back catalog with the album, Weapons of Choice. Whoa! These guys are awesome! Imagine Heart, mixed with a little Bon Jovi, mixed with some Kiss and Firehouse and some more modern hard rock of Harem Scarem or Pink Cream69. That’s what you get with Treat!
Ever have one of those dejavu moments? I’m coming home from work and listening to the local rock station. A song starts to play and I know for sure that is a band I have listened. A not-so-well-known Christian rock band even! Jonah33 () has a new album? I thought they broke up in 2009!
No, what’s that the deejay just said? A band called Three Days Grace ()? Can’t be. That music and vocalist sounds EXACTLY like Jonah33. A quick wikipedia search shows that Three Days Grace is a modern band that formed in 1992, way before Jonah33 ever started. And no, two different vocalists. But holy moly, they sure sound a lot alike! Take a listen to Jonah33 below:
In 2006, Oz Fox of Stryper fame joined Bloodgood and there was talk of a new Bloodgood album. In 2009 Oz joined Stryper on an international tour to support Stryper’s 25th Anniversary (of which I had the honor of attending) and that was the last I heard of him with Bloodgood.
Fast forward to yesterday, when a music blog I read posted a blog about Liberty ‘n Justice, a compilation band with a new album that features a wide variety of musicians. On this record is a song entitled “Treading On Serpents”. It features non other than Les Carlsen, Bloodgood’s lead vocalist, and Oz Fox, guitar player for Stryper and Bloodgood.
