They have a new album coming out on Friday. There's a silly YouTube video of the first single:

Southern Trains

I used to be annoyed as hell with their song "I Believe In A Thing Called Love", but a friend insisted I dig deeper...surprisingly, I ended up liking alot of their material. Many songs sound like AC/DC, Queen, and Thin Lizzy put in a blender (incidentally, their current drummer is Roger Taylor's son). Looking forward to the new album, and I know the downvotes are coming

The 2 guitar solos in " Love is only a Feeling " are so damn good

First album had 4 or 5 really good songs. Lost track after that. I kind of dug them. Damn, that Southern Trains video is bizarre as hell, but the song is good.

I actually still listen to them occasionally. They're a lot of fun. Thanks for the heads up. A good friend of mine was actually a much bigger fan than I, and had the DJ play one of their songs at his wedding. It was a little awkward.

I was actually thinking of them the other day. They reminded me of Wolfmother and that prompted me to queue up the first Wolfmother album

Really digging this new album, thanks!

Rock n roll is a more interesting place with bands like The Darkness still putting out new stuff. The new indie, techno, semi-hip/hop, folk, disco crap posing as “alt rock” these days is begging for some old school influence like this.
