Although the label "underrated" is overused, here are... FAMILY

 

If you're into Family, are you into Solar Music? There used to be a more comprehensive video, will update if i find it.

 

 

 

Edit: Basically this

 

Edit 2: Or if not, here's a fun one

Grobschnitt... Of course, I had heard their name, but I never could associate any specific type of music with them. I'll give it a try.

 

I arrived at Family from the other side. In Germany in the mid-70s, Chapman and Whitney's follow-up band, the Streetwalkers, were quite popular. Of course, they were much more R&B/blues-oriented (which fitted Chappo's voice quite well).

Maybe their ages are over 20 now. I heard the lead singer was 16 awhile back. Still they push the underage vibe quite a bit, don't you think?

 

In the video Gimmie Chocolate, the lead singer was 16, and her 2 sidekicks were 14.

All 3 were removed from the groups they were in because they were "too old".

The video is from 2014, so I don't think the sidekicks have hit 20 yet.

 

The group came under some criticism when they started doing live shows for that first album.

The music was piped in, and the "muscians" faked it.

Metalheads are not like poptarts. Air guitar won't cut it.

This should not be possible for someone of the XY persuasion

 

The sheer vocal talent is like watching some undiscovered perform at a level like Freddy Mercury and Queen once did versus the world, before Queen was a thing... but doing it in a world that already knows them.

In the earliest version of the group they had a different act, sometimes using prerecorded tracks while they danced., other times the backing band playing live.

 

Since 2014 it's been all live music in concerts.

Needed this CanCon 70s classic (interesting lyrics) as subway to and fro will be in the dark for most of the next 6 months....

I had always preferred the Hüsker Dü songs by Grant Hart over those by Bob Mould. Here is Grant Hart's follow-up project, Nova Mob. The video is pretty funny.
