They’ve come a long way, baby. Still, after enduring a long series of
lineup changes since their 1995 founding, Detroit Cobras give new
meaning to the term “cover band.” Digging up classic R&B tunes,
along with rock ’n’ roll b-sides we’d never hear on the radio, DC
breathes new life into songs with a swaggering soul-based flair. Sure,
the group may be well over a decade old, but it’s got the garage rock
ethos covered, complete with drawling vocals and primitive-sounding
guitars. Thankfully spare of cheesy gimmicks and seeping with ’nuff
talent to go around, Detroit Cobras will leave you wondering how a cover
band could ever sound this good.
