Year Long Disaster Discography of CDs

Year Long Disaster albums The problem with bands that try to sound like Led Zeppelin is that they never do: they sound like bands trying to sound like Led Zeppelin. Granted, it's a bit more complicated than that with Year Long Disaster. On their debut album, you'll hear plenty of other influences as well, from the energetic Southern rock shuffle of "Leda Atomica" (which actually sounds like a tossed-off collaboration between Zep and ZZ Top), to the Cream and Black Sabbath references that peek out from around almost every corner. Originality is overrated in rock music, and these guys deserve credit for embracing their influences without shame. And there are times when they succeed in breathing new life into these tired tropes -- "Cold Killer" is certainly not original, but the band fully owns that song's mastodon groove -- and there are also moments of startling originality, such as the complex and brilliantly rocking "Swan on Black Lake." If Year Long Disaster can digest those influences just a bit more fully and get past its taste for staggeringly pretentious song titles ("Leda Atomica," "Galea Aponeurotica," etc.) then the band may be headed for great things. ~ Rick Anderson Year Long Disaster: Daniel Davies (vocals, guitars); Richard Mullins (electric bass); Brad Hargreaves (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Vicki Brown (violin, viola); Joey Burns (cello, double bass).

The sound is still primarily blues-influenced hard rock, but this go around, the atmosphere feels different; less Led Zeppelin and more Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Black Sabbath. The songs here feel less rushed, giving them the relaxed and confident demeanor of a band that's starting to come into their own as songwriters. Rather than forcing the issues, songs like "Major Arcana" and "Show Me Your Teeth" are content to sit back in the groove and coolly let the rock happen, drawing the listener with the allure of a solid riff instead of beating them over the ...
