Groundhogs - Solid (1974)

The eight album from this British band.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, mellotron, organ, synths and vocals.

Groundhogs carried on with what they did. Mixing hard blues, progressive rock and hard rock. This with some soul influences too.

The guitars were again re-installed in the band after Tony McPhee's wounds had healed and he was back to speed on the guitars.

The music is pretty hard. But not as hard as Budgie, who is a good reference. 

Groundhogs was always a bit more sophisticated and proggy than Budgie.

The big song here is Sins Of The Father. A good songs with a great guitar riff and some good mellotron work.

The rest of the album is pretty good too. The music is hard but also pretty progressive. 

This is an album well worth checking out.
