only to fizzle out after a couple of albums due to lack of commercial success
e.g.
Fire Town
The Stills
Your Vegas

Fun.

They have a very Queen-like sound imo.

When Travis came out with "The Man Who" (roughly the same time Coldplay debuted with "Parachutes")... both at the end of the Britpop movement of the 90s...

I would have bet $ that Travis would have been the one that kicked on and become huge...

That is still a great pop record..

Alabama Shakes have consumed their fifteen minutes, have they not?

Totally forgot about Alabama Shakes. Maybe they’ll make a good casino band.

Losing Jeff Pollard was a huge blow to Leroux imo. Still remember being floored by the Jeff Pollard Band at the Kingfish before they "hit it big"

i remember when Leroux dropped the Louisiana from their name so they wouldn't be considered "local".



Because that killed bands like Boston,Kansas,Chicago etc.. ?
