The Dust Coda hail from London and released their self titled debut album last year. I came across them this year thanks to a twitter post on Down the front media's twitter linking to a live review. They came across as a band I would like so I checked them out. After a few listens to their debut album I went and ordered it.
So what are they like? Well they are your classic rock band in every way. Comparisons to the likes of AC/DC, Aerosmith and Led Zepplin feel easy. But at the same time there is something refreshing and exciting about The Dust Coda. As like their predessors they are very good at what they do. While Greta Van Fleet are putting Classic rock back on the map in a big way at the moment. Hopefully this will pave the way for more rock bands like The Dust coda to get recognised more as it would be well deserved.
While most of the album is what I would call "All out rock" and to me it is rock done right with big riffs and solos. My personal highlight off the album "Sweet Love is gone" which is a more sweeping, low key rock ballad. Which shows off singer John Drake's amazing vocals which are very reminisant of a certain Robert Plant in this instance. Album closer "Will I ever see you again" is another rock ballad and finishes off the album superbly with a sublime solo.
Overall this is a very good debut and a band which are definitiley worth your time if you are into classic rock. And if you are into it you won't have to wait too long for album 2 as rumour has it the next installment is out next year!
