Hermano

Is Hermano a case of "third time's a charm" for John Garcia?
Quite possibly.
The former
Kyuss
vocalist first sang for the short-lived
Slo Burn,
and then put together the much-respected
Unida,
only to see legal wranglings bring that band to a
screeching halt.
And thus Hermano was born, with their second album,
Dare I Say, receiving several glowing reviews since its
release in 2004.
Somewhat predictably, Hermano really doesn't sound a lot like
Kyuss save for Garcia's distinctive vocal style --
coincidentally or not, at times
Dare I Say has more in common with
Garcia's old bandmate's new band,
Queens Of The Stone Age
(face it, it's highly unlikely that Garcia or Josh Homme are
going to return to that classic old Kyuss sound any time soon).
So, not a lot in terms of metal, but as a straight rock album
Hermano does just fine, and it's good to see Garcia finally
beginning to thrive.
