Sounds Like:
Often referred to as a cross between No Doubt and Led Zeppelin, Simone continues to break convention with their own style. Influenced by the underground Detroit scene as well as the post-pop alternative sounds of Amsterdam, Simone remains in a class all their own.
'Strong riffs, hooks and melodies make Simone a highly-listenable band' (Miramar Management), but it is the energy of the live performances that Simone is best known. Sharing the stage with bands such as Driving The Fall, Anyone's Guess, Selby, One Fall Away, At Cliffs End, Pellets On Target, Stranded and many others, Simone exceeds expectations.
Known for their live performances -- "[Simone's] got the look, got the voice, got the songs" (Steve Gilmore, Rebel Riffs), Simone tours throughout the US and Europe. Their music has charted on GarageBand, StereoFame, OurStage, NoiseHead and Imeem, and their independent release "Temporary Heaven" was awarded the E.A.R. (Excellence In Audio Recording) award in 2007.
If there is one band that you follow this summer, it should be Simone.
