Under-rated International Rock Bands

In no particular order, here are the best and most under rated rock bands I've had the pleasure to stumble upon. Hopefully one day I will have at least one band for all 196 countries…

Our 10 Favourite Guitar Amps

Glad tidings tone seekers! If you’re new to the channel, don’t worry, maybe it will make sense in time. If you’re not new then you will know that Dan and I love amps every bit as much as we love guitars. In fact we did a show a few weeks back covering every guitar in our possession as of July 2020. Cue a cacophony of calls to document our amps, to which we respond:

“Yay! But verily we cannot do them all, for we are old and they are heavy and a PITA to cram into a single filming session.”

Please note, these are OUR 10 fave amps that we have in our possession today, not the 10 Best Amps In The World Ever. That would be a different list!
