The Sword @ El CorazónThe Sword @ El Corazón
Austin band The Sword is one of my favorite bands of the last few years. Having seen them at SXSW in 2005 I was stunned. Here is a band that does classic metal right. This is true to metal's roots and some of the best rhythm-driven hard rock around right now.
I saw 'em again just a few weeks ago here in Seattle at El Corazón and they proved to me, once again, that they're one of the best straight up rock/metal shows you'll come by these days. I wish I had some photos as they were fairly entertaining, if a bit mellower than the last time I'd seen them. If you like Witch, Wolfmother, Priestess or the like, chances are you'll love The Sword.
