Firebird

Firebird is a British blues-rock power trio founded by Bill Steer in 1999. The music style, reminiscent of seventies rock bands such as Cream, is a radical departure from Steer's previous work with grindcore pioneers Napalm Death and death metal band Carcass. Firebird's lineup has seen several drummers and bass players come and go, but Steer's congenial vocals and guitar playing have kept the band's vibe stable. Discography: Firebird (2000), Deluxe (2001), No. 3 (2003) and Hot Wings (2006) Band members:

Roger Sutcliffe

There isn't much of information on this British blues guitar player and singer to be found. He's not to be found on the big stages, but plays at pubs and the like. Yet he's an oldschooler in the best sense of the word - his style of playing the guitar is nothing but amazing, due to about 40 years of experience. It's classic blues performed perfectly and with great passion.
Some scraps of information and a list of released albums can be found at Folker (German language only, sorry).
