'Young Blood Rising' - Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz, an awesome Finnish Glam band, has just released a video for their song "Young Blood Rising." The song is from the album Bad Blood Rising, due November 10 in America. This is real Glam and I love it: there's a great hook and amazing guitar solo. Listen to this now - don't delay. This band deserves your attention!

I saw these guys at Rock on the Range a couple of years ago - fantastic band!

Like most rock these days, I'd like it better if the guitars didn't sound like mud. This sounds like it might be down a step and a half with dropped D tuning on top of that. Ugh.

@Gogmagog. Testify brother, testify! At the rate bands are tuning down, you'll be able to use the low E string as a freaking compound bow soon. 😂👍

Thanks Allyson for posting this. I think it's important to feature new music that has roots in the music we love. It seems the comments section has become a "get off my lawn" forum. Are Santa Cruz great? No. Are they playing the music we like? Yes.

Bring me more of this. If we're going to bring back glam, we need to bring glam forward.

I've been saying this on here for years...and, I've gotten backlash for saying/doing so.

These guys are amazing! Their debut album is phenomenal.

I agree with Bryon, The CheapSeats and “T”!

I’ve been a fan of these guys since the beginning and have all their CDs.

However, I also agree with Gogmagog and Gary, regarding Santa Cruz’ tuning. It would sound a little more GLAM if they adjusted it. Of course, it may have something to do with the key the singer’s in.

p.s. There’s a killer full concert of these guys recorded live in an L.A. club of these guys from a couple of years back hosted by Donovan Leach you can check out live on YouTube.
