Geez guys, Alice in Chains much? Holy cow. :o

Decent tune, but only because it's a complete ripoff in the way American Bang rips off Kings of Leon.

I feel sorry for bands like them.

^ It's no more Alice in Chains than it is Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Stone Temple Pilots. Another decent new post-grunge band, alongisde Black Sunshine & Sugar Red Drive to appear on radio over the last few months.

I'm sorry you can't distinguish the difference between the sounds of those four bands. It is absolutely more Alice in Chains than those other three bands, or any other band, for that matter.

I beg to differ. This sounds more like "Core"-era Stone Temple Pilots to me.

Core doesn't have the menacing, chugging up-tempo riffs that Alice in Chains does, nor does it have much in the way of guitar solos, especially with an occasional sharp squeal. The vocalist sounds way more like Cantrell than he does any other classic grunge vocalist, the harmonized "dumb luck" and chorus is pure Staley & Cantrell. The pre-chorus is the only thing I can hear any Core-era STP in, but that also reminds me of AIC, too, so I really don't know how you're not hearing all that I'm hearing.

Nice! This has had some decent longevity.
