Similar acts to Vintage Trouble? Rock 'n roll / soul

[Emiel]

My coverband recently changed from rock/pop covers to more rock 'n roll, soul which suits us much better. Big guitar riffs, aggressive, swinging and catchy. We love the contemporay act Vintage Trouble, but have trouble finding similar groups. Any ideas?

 

[Heinz57Pep]

JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound out of Chicago fit that mold. Maybe more swinging and catchy than big and aggressive.

 

[GarMan]

Do you mean vintage music from the band Trouble?

 

[Emiel]

Nope, the band called Vintage Trouble.


We're really looking for guitar based music... the guitar carrying the song. We only have a guitarist, bass player, drummer and a singer, although we'd like to have a keyboard player.

I always The London Souls were a sister/parallel universe band.

You got yourself a real singer? then try the Alabama Shakes:

 

[Simto]

Band of Skulls, might be a bit more on the rock side, but they have some songs with a nice groove too.


Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, if you've got a female singer, check this band. They kick ass.


Some Arctic Monkeys might work. Their latest album has lots of Rn'B influences. It's like... dark disco Rn'B you only listen to after 3am when the girl you like left.


Foxboro Hot Tubs, a project some of the guys in Green Day made.. i quite like it and i think it might fit in a band like that.


Raphael Saadiq, softer version of Vintage Trouble


Jack White

King Khan and the Shrines. The band Vintage Trouble wishes they were. Check out the album "What Is?"

King Khan and the Shrines.

Excellent band and a great live show too.

Detroit Cobras
The Heavy
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

 

[Funky Monkey]

Recent favorite is the 2012 Simo album.
Weed through the Doyle Bramhall II catalog. And, seriously, Meshell Ndegeocello.
There are some Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers tunes that are very soulful despite their generally harder edge.
Modoc is a little more twangy (for lack of a more fitting label) but they're nice.
Of course, there are also some Black Crowes/Marc Ford/Cry of Love songs that would fit what you're talking about.

Drunk Monkeys, heck yea.


Know you AU guys know where he's coming from but seems like to most of rest of world he's a best kept secret.

Check out The Black Sorrows -Beat Club and Crooked Liitle Thoughts and The Revelators two releases for some awesome tracks. His whole catalog is full of gems.

"New Craze" off Beat Club is just what you ordered. The Revelators self titled release full of soul driven tracks. "Last One Standing For Ya" from Lucky Charm.
