Excellent Seventies Heavy Rock by Buffalo.

 

More Seventies goodness.

 

Sir Lord Baltimore - "Kingdom Come" ("Kingdom Come", 1970)

 

Echoing the sounds of some of the more famous 1970's Hammond heavy bands comes the Scottish quintet Bodkin, who released their one and only self-titled album in 1972.

 

1.Angel City
2.Brinsley Swartz
3.The Motors
4.Graham Parker & Rumour
5.The Modern Lovers...

Or are you talking boring AOR s--t exclusively

 

I actually saw them open for somebody way back when but can't remember who. Wasn't Paul Chapman (Schenker's "replacement" in UFO in that band? or am I confused????)

 

From Poughkeepsie, New York comes the post-psychedelic heavy blues band Bull Angus, who released two albums on Mercury Records in the early '70's. Their style was a bit of a mixture and not just hard rock. I find the first self-titled album to be the stronger of the two. Here's the last song from the first, "No Cream for the Maid."

 

Nope, you're not confused. Paul Chapman was in the band.

The first album was outstanding but they missed original singer Kenny Driscoll on the second.

 

More Tommy Bolin

"Post Toastee" ("Private Eyes", 1976)

It's getting near dawn, when lights close their tired eyes,
Some people say my love cannot be true,
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie...

 

Mid to late 70s Canadian lunkheads, may be the first glam (hard rock/metal) band:

Teaze - Come On, Hold On

Stumbled across a picture of the album on instagram... great German hard rock in the Deep Purple vein.
