Obscure bands

PS - 
"Buchanan, despite singing in a higher register, demonstrates an Eric Burdon-like swagger on 'Young Love.'"

Had to come back to toot my own horn on that call about Buchanan vis a vis Burdon.  Apparently the AllMusic Guide reviewer saw it that way too.

Rival sons has a new album coming out June tenth I believe

Buchanan reminds me of Paul Rodgers at times also.
And yes their recordings are not the best.

Hey arcam...
Yes, I did note the similarity to Paul Rodgers on certain tracks (and Robert Plant as well).  Their drummer has Bonham down too.

Watched a few You Tube videos.  Not sure if Keep on Swinging & Electric Man are more recent.  Maybe they represent what sells plastic these days but I thought both cuts were a simpler, more repetitive and less imaginative than stuff off Time & Pressure and an EP I listened to.  SQ aside, I might end up getting T&P.  

You are correct, a new release, "Hollow Bones" is scheduled for June 10.  

Thanks for turning me on to Rival Sons.  Still have a bunch of other stuff from your list to check out.

ghousthouse,
I checked out a little verbena. I love the raw and unpolished sound.
I think you would like Jet and Hero jr. Also
