There have been so many great releases in March and April already, it is easy for some bands to get lost in the shuffle. A band that has been sandwiched between my recent  playlist of Jack Blades, Van Halen, Shinedown, Accept, Halestorm, and Adrenaline Mob, is Santa Barbara, California’s Winchester Rebels.

Winchester Rebels released their debut, Three Sheets To the Wind last fall.  With the release of their recent video clip, “Flying” (see video below), I knew I needed to check these guys out.  After giving Three Sheets To the Wind a few plays, I hear a variety of influences.  The best way I could describe the band is a modern rock band with classic influences.  The band’s sound is bolstered by the big voice of Nick Hunt. Mr. Hunt has a clean vocal style with an above average range.  . When his vocals soar, the songs really jump out at me. His voice is a pure pleasure to listen to. He isn’t the only talented musician in this band though. Guitarists Nick Fitzgerald and James Longoria are solid players. They may be guilty of playing the down tuned guitars a little bit, but they also sneak in some pretty cool riffs that make that tunes stand out.

I have read where Winchester Rebels have been compared to Stone Temple Pilots, and I would agree that there are some songs on Three Sheets to The Wind that could easily fit on an STP record. The songs “Loaded Gun”, “Taste of Hell” and “Silence”  definitely fit that style.

Some of my favorites on this CD are “Private Angel”, “Down”,and  “Dining With Devils” .  There really isn’t a bad song in the bunch.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a major label signed the Winchester Rebels.  They are far better than many of the bands you hear on FM radio today. I truly have been enjoying their CD Three Sheets To The Wind, and I think you will too.

You can purchase the CD at this link, or digitally through Amazon.com and iTunes.  Check it out!
