Originally I thought Louisiana’s The Class War was named after the UK-based group, lead by Ian Bone in the 80s (which would’ve been ironic as they mentioned being American in two of their songs). Anyway, the most interesting thing about this group was that they eventually became anarchists.
After listening to their short five-track debut EP, A Crack In The Mask, which is being released today, I can tell you that their songs catchy rock music. Giorgio Russo’s vocals reminds me of an American Kelly Jones.
If you like rock music, you should definitely check these guys out. Songs you might like are “Don’t Forget I’m American”, “Love Is”, and “Here And Now” (featuring Bridget Gary on backup vocals). If you’re in the Louisiana area, they’ll be playing at Shakers Live (Sep 12th and Artmosphere on Sep 20th.)
