Hey #music side of Mastodon, I am looking for some new band recommendations specifically #Hairmetal or #hardrock think stuff you would play while driving your van with a wizard riding a unicorn spray painted on the side.
I’d love more modern stuff but lesser known classics are welcome as well.
Not sure where you are - I'm in #Canada. There are some good 70s/80s #metal/#rock bands that aren't as well known outside of Canada. If you know these bands, apologies for the outside scoop; otherwise, just a few suggestions as jumping-off points.
Kick Axe - albums "Vices" and "Welcome to the Club"
Helix - probably better known, particularly "Walkin' the Razor's Edge"
Headpins - guitar rock, not metal
Queen City Kids - proto-hair-metal
Aldo Nova
Triumph - better known
You're welcome; always happy to share. Kick Axe is one of my favourite rock acts to listen to.
Some more popped into my head overnight.
#Prism - rock/hair metal
#Streetheart - rock
Toronto - rock
#Trooper - rock - more famous outside Canada than others
And of course there's some more widely known guitar-rock stuff like April Wine, B.T.O., Doucette, Kim Mitchell, and glam acts like Honeymoon Suite.
