I don't think it's that they are a blatant rip-off of LZ, but more so that they deny they sound like LZ. They strut around on-stage thinking they created their sound. It just gets a big eye-roll from me.
Ah ok, I wasn't aware of them denying it. To be honest, today was the first time that I actually listened to them and the lead vocalist drew me in. One hell of a range.
Also native American appropriation regarding their on-stage outfits and persona. There's nothing tongue-in-cheek about their act, which just makes it *robert_downney_eyeroll.jpg* for me.
@Selaws I'm not gonna deny that their lead singer can belt them out. Just saying go ahead and call them the greatest LZ karaoke cover band and call it a day.
