Formed in 1963, The Others still have an edge, they still have passion for their craft. New album out May 2004, "Hit the Wall" shows a band maintaining an intensity that many lose over time. Cutting edge, well crafted guitar driven blues/rock the way it was meant to be. Don't believe me? Here's a quote from a review of The Others at 2004's Byron Bay Blues & Roots festival from Australian muisc industry legend Glenn A Baker: "Jammed tight and sweating hard, the fevered throng inside the Juke Joint at the East Coast Blues Festival let The Others know that it was well worth their long road haul up from Adelaide. Like the Stones, whose record of longevity they share, these r&b titans thrive in an environment of immediate contact, feeding off the energy and driving it upwards with hot, hard, stinging licks and a blues sensibility born out of an implicit understanding of the music's essentials. After more than 40 years at the coalface they are the masters who inspire the apprentices." Glenn A. Baker If you love powerful, passionate guitar rock with a blue edge, "do yourself a favour" and check out The Others latest and greatest album 'Hit the Wall' out May 2004 thru Greasy Pop/MGM, cat no GP0104.
