Hans CondorHans Condor are pure rock’n’roll madness with a little bit of a Southern/stoner rock edge to it.... a less doomy SWORD mixed with MOLLY HATCHET, AC/DC, and a dash of latter-era BUSINESS.....Soaring harmonic guitars and sweeping bass-walks......The kind of album I’d throw on during a super hot day while I grill out, drink beer, and take a dip in my inflatable pool.....It's the perfect vibe for Punk Vs Metal BBQ!!!
