Had a great time watching the video! Loved the way you figured out influences and styles. Thanks a lot for shining some bright light towards new artists and music. It means a lot to us. And thanks everyone who enjoyed our music! Rock ‘n Roll is Here to Stay 🤘
As an 80s metalhead, I appreciate you introducing these guys to me. It was like a time warp, but in a good way. And as a bass guitarist, I’m definitely loving the bass fills and solos. I’m definitely going to visit their site and check them out more thoroughly. I like this new idea! Many thanks!
As a bassist and a metalhead (maybe?) a bit younger than you, who grew up with 80s metal, I fully agree! You don't need to reinvent the wheel every time, just doing the things that the music stands on, the foundations, doing that right is more than enough to make great music!
Hallelujah! Musicians playing real instruments! I didn't know bands still did that. I grew up in the 70s listening to the best music ever made. This video made me happy! I need more.
Great path to take the channel down!!! I was in the Recording Industry for 18 years and know there is a LOT of talent out there that is not getting noticed. Good on you for taking this on.
Wow never expected this band to make an appearance on this page! I saw Girish and the Chronicles live when they opened for a TesseracT concert, and was blown away immediately by the very 80s vibes. Love it
That's awesome. Girish Pradahn is an unreal singer. he and The Chronicles are a phenomenal 80's throwback sounding band. He's also going to be the new singer for George Lynch & Jeff Pilson's side project 'The End Machine'. I'm sure you have a few of these upcoming vids in the can already, but if don't and you're doing hard rock singers, Ronnie Romero, Dino Jelisick and Renan Zonta are all awesome young guys in the hard rock world.
I've never heard of Girish And The Chronicles but that's why I subscribe to channel's like TCV. It allows me to discover new artists/bands I have not heard before.
I saw them when they opened for Tesseract in 2019 in India. They were really good and I really enjoyed it. Even the Tess members were headbanging with us in the front row haha
I never heard of Girish either and I am ecstatic that Elizabeth featured this band. I was starting to feel that the classic rock sound has been slowly dying, then Elizabeth introduces Girish and I my hands immediately with the horns in a tribute to Dio and I bellowed "rock and roll!!!"
Elizabeth, I am overjoyed that you chose to highlight Girish! I discovered this band just a few months ago and was blown away by their in-your-face blues hard rock sound. Definitely hear all the great influences from the 1980's, especially Guns n' Roses, and Girish has a wonderful mix of Dio, Dickinson, Axl, and Miljenko in his vocals. Yes, we need to do all we can to promote great bands and singers like Girish and the Chronicles! Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay!!!
Elizabeth, I’m a 60 yr old amateur guitarist and Rock music lover. I love all Rock music that features the guitar, if a song has a heavy rhythm, a good riff and a guitar solo somewhere in it I’m loving it. I’ve been into good Rock music since I was 15 when a good friend of mine introduced me to some great bands like Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. This friend is a professional guitarist and was in several under the radar bands in the 80’s and 90’s and is still playing in a 80’s & 90’s Rock/Metal tribute band who plays some of the few remaining bars on Long Island and NY that still feature live music. This good friend also taught me how to play guitar at 15 yrs old. I’m still a rocker and up until a few years ago I thought Rock music was dead, I was in my own little world listening to my 900 plus CD’s and Albums of Rock bands from AC/DC to Zeppelin. In recent years I’ve been introduced to a few current bands playing good Rock music, my music, I’m loving that these children of parents of the 80’s and 90’s are playing great Rock/Metal music. In the last few years I’ve discovered bands like Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless and even more recently the up and coming young people who are making great Rock music like The Warning and Liliac. I want to thank you for introducing me to this great new band you featured in your new segment Up and Coming bands, I’m loving Girish and The Chronicles and do Indeed agree the singer is outstanding. I will be checking out this band more, thank you again. I want to close out my novel of a comment by suggesting you check out more Liliac, if you liked their covers (in my opinion Liliac are tremendous at cover songs) you’ll love their originals. I want to point you in the direction of one of their original songs called Not Afraid (Check out the newer live version released a few months ago), Melody’s voice is absolutely amazing in this song (I’m not kidding, it’ll blow you away). Ok, I’m done with my novela, lol. See you in the reactions. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/
You outdid yourself on this one, EZ. Harkens back to the metal I grew up with in the 80’s!!! His voice is so that!!! The bass is awesome too!!! David Coverdale-like too!!! More music classes tomorrow! Voice next week!!! Thank you.
I've always thought a section on emerging artists in your channel would be great. Your analyses are both highly professional and funny and the channel have now deservedly reached the huge number of nearly 1.5 million people. Getting to know new, extraordinary voices is important for we, listeners, but it is also fundamental for these artists who struggle to emerge. So, thank you! :)
With today's corporate music, we need people like you Elizabeth and Kirk to find these artists and give them access to the music world that the algorithms and even social media don't provide exposure.
They already have a following in Europe as they are signed to the Italian label, Frontiers records, but as an Indian band the costs of touring over here make it incredibly difficult for them to do it. That said, About Us, another Indian band from the Naga region are on the same label as well and would compliment GATC as either a co-headliner or support. If you want to check out About Us, Right now and Gimme gimme were the two main singles from their debut album and give a good overview of their sound.
Girish & the Chronicles are a killer band! Love that you are doing an up & coming artist introduction series. Girish is getting a lot of recognition from the hard rock/power metal musician circles recording the first single off of Magnuss Karlsson's Freefall album.
Wow!!!! These guys are awesome!!! I am definitely going to be checking out more of their work. Thank you so much for introducing them to us all. Great work.
RIGHT ,takes me back to 80s .rock metal,full on vocals ,solid ,no apologies rock guitars ,the bass! I half expected Elizabeth ,to start head banging! Always open to new artists ,well done TCV ,great start with this band ,excited for whats to come!
Holy crap, they're amazing. Thank you for sharing. The UA-camr who trades music back to her fans is the coolest things I've seen on here. I think I heard Geoff Tate and Sébastien Bach elements in there as well as Dio and Bruce.
Elizabeth, I would love to see you react to "Just got lucky" by Dokken if you are ever inclined or anything off their "tooth and nail" album really. Thanks again for the new music.
Thanks for introducing Girish. I was starting to feel that the classic rock sound I grew up listening too has been slowly dying out except for a few places Northern Europe, but thankfully there are bands like Girish keeping the spirit of rock and metal alive. I immediately Subscribed to the Girish's channel.
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for introducing me to the guys...i'm a simple music fan but have been exploring metal music for years. Girish also reminds me a lot of John Sebastian Bach from Skid Row.😎
I listened to this band and about 7 minutes in I ordered their Hail to the Heroes cd. Girish’s vocals are perfect all the way through each note, each word, each phrase. What a delight! I have a few albums over the years that are discovered gems of delight that I go back to again and again. These gems span across a number of genres. I have expectations that this just might be taking its place amongst those.
Their live performance is incredible. They made our region proud when they won some international competition. They still make us feel proud with their creations.
I saw SevenSpires recently open for Eluveitie. Super amazing. At one point there was a little girl about 8 or 10 on her mom’s shoulders and she knew ALL the words. It was so awesome seeing Adrienne connect with that little girl from the stage.
I listened to Seven Spires when deciding between them and Girish and the Chronicles. I was blown away as well. Seven Spires will be featured here at some point!
Thanks for this reaction! I hadn't heard of this band or singer before, but they are absolutely on my radar now. Love the overall sound of the band, and the singer is phenomenal. Vocally, I'm hearing some similarities to a couple of my blues/rock/metal favorites, like Dino Jelusick and Jorn Lande. Right in the pocket of that incredibly flexible blues-rock connected sound. Another ancestor of these sorts of singers, aside from Dickenson or Dio, would be David Coverdale of Whitesnake/Deep Purple. If you compare to Coverdale, you'll hear that wailing, connected blues-rock pedigree, especially with those clean round lows easily transitioning into that buzzy overtone grit on the top-end. Anyway, fantastic reaction and insight per usual.
Thanks so much for recommending this band. What a voice and band! I'd never heard of them before watching your video. I have recommended them to friends too. Cheers from the UK! 🤘😄👍
Emerging artist? ADRIENNE COWAN!!! She's a absolute vocal savant, like a mix of Floor Jansen and Will Ramos. Her genre is Symphonic Black Metal, with the occasional pop and what she calls dark jazz influence. And she's the one doing the orchestration for her band Seven Spires, as well!
Absolutely! I just saw Seven Spires live a few weeks ago and they did not disappoint! I wish they had more time to play more than six songs! Fantastic band!
Seven Spires was actually the other band that I had to choose from this round. I went with Girish, but absolutely WILL be bringing some Seven Spires content to TCV soon. Adrienne is absolutely incredible!
Bravo for using your reach to shine a light on upcoming artists! I'm a huge fan of this idea. I had never heard of Girish and the Chronicles, and they are totally my jam!
Holy crap! Love this band, thanks Elizabeth. He's got an amazing voice and in Hail To The Heroes I think he sounds very Chis Cornell. Another awesome vid
Rock will never die! Especially when bands like this take the torch and blaze a path into the future. Thankyou for intoducing us all to an awesome band.
These guys are *AWESOME*!!! They are bringing back the hard rock/metal music of the 80s in a serious way! *BONUS* Watching Elizabeth get giddy over the sound... LOL! Much Love, Elizabeth!!!
OMG that was exactly my suggestion when you asked!!! although I'm sure more people suggested something similar. Excellent! It may not generate too many views on your channel, but I'm sure it can be a great impact for those artists! 👏👏👏
This is probably the first time I've seen a band actually have a bass solo, outside of psychobilly music with a double bass. I think I just found my next band to binge the entire discography of. :P
I am SO pumped that you picked Girish!! I discovered then earlier this year and absolutely LOVE them! His voice is fricking awesome! If you're going to do emerging artists, my wife and I would really like to recommend Dino Jelusic from Croatia. He has a voice full of power on one side then can swoon the most beautiful times on the other. You would DEFINITELY love him.
Wow! This is an amazing idea!🚀 Update after watching: Thank you for digging these guys out. They sound really great. Not only Dio like, the guitars and vocals of 'Rock N' Roll is Here To Stay' also remind me strongly of Kiss 'Love It Loud'. God gave Rock'n'Roll to them, definitely !! 'Ride To Hell' is now on my Spotify playlist and I'm sure there will be more. Great stuff this is 🤘🤘 Holy cow, just found a live recording of 'Ride To Hell' on their channel - they sound live just as good as on the studio recording!!! Wow! 💯
This is why both my utube accounts praise this channel and absolutely love this concept,showing humility and integrity by shining light on not so known or popular independent artists,bravo TCV staff and Elizabeth for incorporating this to the channel
Definitely going to check out some more of their work, although I'm very upset that I'm just now hearing about them. I always love a band that isn't afraid to let the bassist lay out some grooves
Nice to see this as a new feature. I am excited to see who will pop up! Also a big fan of Adrienne. I'd love to hear about what she did to prepare for those Eluveitie sets when she had to sing for Chrigel after singing with Seven Spires. She's a real pro. Also would love to see you chat with Ash from Tulip. She's a classically trained opera singer who now sings in a Symphonic Metal Djent band with her husband. They have an INCREDIBLE story.
I don't know whether to be pleased I found this band on my own in '22 or that you're giving them a big boost in viewership now. The latter I think! To see you give this ultra obscure band recognition is fantastic. Girish is a phenomenal singer!
You’re awesome Elizabeth, this is such a great thing you’re doing! Love that you mention each of the band members and their duties, it’s great to shine a light on music that deserves more attention. Gothic/doom metal band Orphans of Dusk strike me as a group that deserves way more attention. They just put out their new album Spleen and the track I’m Going to Haunt You (When I Die) is a great one.
I must have pulled this from your mind as I thought this would be a wonderful way for you to give back! I'm so happy you're doing this. I hope to one day be analyzed by you! Keep up the fantastic work!
I've never heard of them before but that was an amazing journey. There was elements of Dio, Guns n' Rose's, Aerosmith and even Rob Zombie in his lower croaking growls. Very much happy to go listen to so much more of Girish and the Chronicles. Thank you!
Also, the drummer is playing traditional - a metal drummer using a Jazz technique: excellent! The group is solid too: great guitar, drums and bass lines (using his fingers makes a big difference - so much control! I think they modulated during the instrumental section. The call and response between the bass guitar is excellent - two solos, really! These guys can play!!!! Totally progressive at many points!
Thanks so much for sharing this, I sent the link to my friend in India so it’s really gone full circle, via USA and England! Insane band, they need a country the size of India to hold that voice!
Love this idea. I have been a fan of Girish for a few years now and glad that they are getting some buzz. I would like to recommend a few more new vocalists that i think you would love. First up is Dino Jelusick, he also has a DIo sound as well as david coverdale. He has done some great collaboration videos as well as being involved in so many projects. Dirty Shirley, Trans siberian Orchestra, Animal Drive and just recently his new band Jelusick. The other one you need to hear is Erik Gronwall. he is the current singer of Skid Row and has an amazing body of work. He was diagnosed with leukemia and went through treatments and is now in remission. He did a lot of cover songs on his youtube channel during his recovery and they are just amazing.
I hope you will cover Mary Spender in this series, she is an incredibly talented and self-producing independent artist that deserves her moment in the spotlight!
Mary is a fun, cool person and a great online personality (and that's fine) but TBH I honestly find her musical and songwriting gifts very plain. With her naturally deep toned voice, her vocal ability really works best as maybe a jazz singer, and that's really not where she's going anytime soon. That deepness works against what she's trying to do in the upper ranges. If she had say a really expansive, individualistic and interesting acoustic vocal catalog that used and explored the quirks of her voice very well, kind of like Ani DiFranco I'd think differently. That said, what she's doing on UA-cam is brilliant and she shouldn't stop.
She's not an "emerging artist" though. If we're talking any singers who deserve more spotlight then the list could grow huge. Glenn Hughes, Midnight, Jorn Lande, Marti Pellow, Mick Hucknell, many more.
Thank you, E; for showing off this band!!! You compared his sound to Dio, Dickinson, and Halford. I'm going to add in one more legend who I could hear in Garish's voice... David Coverdale of Whitesnake!! (Who you still need to check out BTW 😜). The new "highlight-a-lesser-known-artist" format is incredible and I'm looking forward to what you find next!!!!!! ❤
I was like "hell yeah, that sounds like Ronnie and Bruce," when I heard the first clip. Then I heard the second clip, and I was like, "Geoff Tate!" All of that, and yet he sounds like his own person. Amazing.
Emerging artist! I've gotta throw my hat in the ring with my fellow Canadian - Orville Peck. I've been yearning for a dive into his vocals ever since I was turned on to your channel, and he is just absolutely outstanding. Its as if Elvis and Cash had a lovechild that sings with an Operatic quality I think would be deeply appreciated here. "Let Me Drown" I think is one of the best examples of his singing.
Wow! I've not heard of Girish and the band before checking out this video. Such raw talent deserves more air time without a doubt. I would tend to add that some of the vocals hark back to David Coverdale,former Deep Purple vocalist. Certainly Girish has accrued an amazing range of vocal delivery spanning many acclaimed frontmen of the past. Ronnie, Rob and Bruce elements can be picked out but from a single vocalist this is one huge achievement.
Like the format, great idea Elizabeth., wow, awesome band, first couple of songs had me thinking 1980s Motley Crüe... then we go even deeper... I love getting new artists and bands to follow via TCV...
Thank you so very much for this, I'm always looking for new music and bands to listen to for inspiration in my own music - these guys are absolutely amazing
The cool thing about Girish is that he has a band with Chris Adler from Lamb of God. And Recently he sang on Joel Hoekstra's Album (Whitesnake's Guitarist)
Been following Girish and the Chronicles for some years now. With out question they need more people to hear them. Love this band and love the guys in the band!
I loved the new series! El Efecto would be an incredible addition to it! It's a prog. rock / post-hardcore band with a lot of influence from samba and brazilian rhythms. The lyrics are in portuguese, but most of their videos have subtitles. "Café" and "O Drama da Humana Manada" are amazing!
Had a great time watching the video! Loved the way you figured out influences and styles. Thanks a lot for shining some bright light towards new artists and music. It means a lot to us. And thanks everyone who enjoyed our music! Rock ‘n Roll is Here to Stay 🤘
Thanks to her highlighting you all, new fan here! 🤘🏻
You guys your sound is definitely straight from the 80s sound, best rock ever!!! Thank God that music of that great sound is making a comeback!!
While there's bands like you guys out there, it will never die! 🤘🤘
Can't wait to check out more of your music!
Not gonna lie, never heard of you before. I sure have now \m/
As an 80s metalhead, I appreciate you introducing these guys to me. It was like a time warp, but in a good way. And as a bass guitarist, I’m definitely loving the bass fills and solos. I’m definitely going to visit their site and check them out more thoroughly. I like this new idea! Many thanks!

Both ye guys hit the nail on the freakin head
Hallelujah! Musicians playing real instruments! I didn't know bands still did that. I grew up in the 70s listening to the best music ever made. This video made me happy! I need more.
It is so fantastic to see you using your platform to spread the word of great music. Thank you.
Great path to take the channel down!!!
I was in the Recording Industry for 18 years and know there is a LOT of talent out there that is not getting noticed. Good on you for taking this on.
This proves that Rock is not DEAD!!!!! Can't wait to check out more of their stuff. Thanks for bring this to light.
Wow never expected this band to make an appearance on this page! I saw Girish and the Chronicles live when they opened for a TesseracT concert, and was blown away immediately by the very 80s vibes. Love it
Your little giggles every now and then always make me smile, the excitement from hearing cool things is super relatable
I think that they sound incredible should get a lot more recognition than he already has absolutely astonishing vocals ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
That's awesome. Girish Pradahn is an unreal singer. he and The Chronicles are a phenomenal 80's throwback sounding band. He's also going to be the new singer for George Lynch & Jeff Pilson's side project 'The End Machine'.
I'm sure you have a few of these upcoming vids in the can already, but if don't and you're doing hard rock singers, Ronnie Romero, Dino Jelisick and Renan Zonta are all awesome young guys in the hard rock world.
This awesome!! I’m a teenager in the 80s again. I thought there’d never be another band like this again.
Yes, Doesn't this remind you of listening to Tesla in the 80's?
Absolutely. I’m sure they were influenced by just about every band at that time. I miss those days.
I love when a band let's the bassist shine in their songs
I agree so much!
Yes Yogesh on bass Girish on vocals Nagen on drums and Suraz on Guitars all of them are so great
I've never heard of Girish And The Chronicles but that's why I subscribe to channel's like TCV. It allows me to discover new artists/bands I have not heard before.

They are originally from my hometown , Gangtok
I discovered these Guys a few years ago and have been sharing them everywhere. HOW ARE THEY NOT THE TOP ROCK BAND OUT THERE!!!
WOW 🤩 😮😊UNBELIEVABLE RANGE!!!! UNDENIABLE POWER 🔥 🔥Girish and the Chronicles!
Absolutely blown away, they've earned a new fan. Been a while since I've heard a band with such a powerful 80s sound
Damn they are amazing, thank you for bringing them to my attention.
Thanks for the introduction to Girish and the Chronicles, I do like the voice and style. These guys are good.
Elizabeth, I am overjoyed that you chose to highlight Girish! I discovered this band just a few months ago and was blown away by their in-your-face blues hard rock sound.

You should also give a go with Nestor, H.E.A.T and Crazy Lixx. All from Sweden.
You outdid yourself on this one, EZ. Harkens back to the metal I grew up with in the 80’s!!! His voice is so that!!! The bass is awesome too!!! David Coverdale-like too!!! More music classes tomorrow! Voice next week!!! Thank you.

With today's corporate music, we need people like you Elizabeth and Kirk to find these artists and give them access to the music world that the algorithms and even social media don't provide exposure.
These guys are excellent musicians. Let's hope they can do some major tours in Europe and the US where they will definitely be appreciated.

I can definitely understand why you'd start this series with this band. They're absolutely phenomenal. Thanks for shining light on new awesome talent.
Wow!!!! These guys are awesome!!! I am definitely going to be checking out more of their work. Thank you so much for introducing them to us all. Great work.
Girish and the chronicles vocal remind of David Coverdale (WhiteSnake) and Bruce. Great throwback vocals🤘
Yup, he's rocking it!! He reminded me of the band Tesla, which I haven't listened to for years. Recommend checking out their song What You Give.
Thanks for the recommendation. Been listening to their stuff since you posted. Got all 3 albums on iTunes and they’re absolutely fantastic!
This was an amazing old school rock and roll metal music video! Thank you Elizabeth for your hard work!
RIGHT ,takes me back to 80s .rock metal,full on vocals ,solid ,no apologies rock guitars ,the bass! I half expected Elizabeth ,to start head banging! Always open to new artists ,well done TCV ,great start with this band ,excited for whats to come!
Agree, these guys are great. If Girish released this in the 80's, they would have been Headlining shows.
Theyre on tour now. Opened for GnR and doing a festival in Switzerland June 23rd. Hollywood Vampires headline with so many other great bands 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Holy moley, that's good! Thank you so much for bringing this awesome talent to my attention. Keep it up!
THIS. BAND. IS. AWESOME!!! Absolutely LOVE this music!! Keep on rockin', guys 🤘
Thanks for sharing this band. I love the passion in new music and the unique sounds. Metalhead from way back in the day!
Finally it's happening! I'm truly grateful for this video and for shining a light on Girish & the Chronicles. ❤
Holy crap, they're amazing. Thank you for sharing. The UA-camr who trades music back to her fans is the coolest things I've seen on here. I think I heard Geoff Tate and Sébastien Bach elements in there as well as Dio and Bruce.
Elizabeth, I would love to see you react to "Just got lucky" by Dokken if you are ever inclined or anything off their "tooth and nail" album really. Thanks again for the new music.
@@mattmorrison1548 I was definitely getting the Geoff Tate in there too!
No one and I mean NO ONE enjoys and reacts to music like you. Thank you charismatic and beautiful woman 😃
Thank you, Elizabeth! I had no idea this band even existed. 🤘🏻
OUTSTANDING selection of a band, Elizabeth! Wow, this stuff is so good!
New artists are always a welcome addition to the TCV watchlist. There is so much exciting music out there.
This is probably the 50 band that did that i absolutely love. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for introducing Girish. I was starting to feel that the classic rock sound I grew up listening too has been slowly dying out except for a few places Northern Europe, but thankfully there are bands like Girish keeping the spirit of rock and metal alive. I immediately Subscribed to the Girish's channel.
Hi Elizabeth,
thanks for introducing me to the guys...i'm a simple music fan but have been exploring metal music for years. Girish also reminds me a lot of John Sebastian Bach from Skid Row.😎
Check out their covers of Skid Row 18 and Life
I listened to this band and about 7 minutes in I ordered their Hail to the Heroes cd. Girish’s vocals are perfect all the way through each note, each word, each phrase. What a delight!

I had never heard of Girish and the Chronicles. Thanks for this video. It is the best metal band I've heard in years.
Their live performance is incredible. They made our region proud when they won some international competition. They still make us feel proud with their creations.
Indian Queensrÿche! I love it! Keep doing what you're doing because this is brilliant!
I saw SevenSpires recently open for Eluveitie. Super amazing. At one point there was a little girl about 8 or 10 on her mom’s shoulders and she knew ALL the words. It was so awesome seeing Adrienne connect with that little girl from the stage.
I listened to Seven Spires when deciding between them and Girish and the Chronicles. I was blown away as well. Seven Spires will be featured here at some point!
Love to see another Eluveitie fan in the wild! Saw them at the House of Blues in Hollywood back in 2012.
I'm in the same boat. Went to see Eluveitie and was absolutely blown away by Seven Spires!
Well said. I agree with you. Undeniably a great singer. Amazing range. Talented. Enjoyed it
Thanks for this reaction! I hadn't heard of this band or singer before, but they are absolutely on my radar now. Love the overall sound of the band, and the singer is phenomenal. Vocally, I'm hearing some similarities to a couple of my blues/rock/metal favorites, like Dino Jelusick and Jorn Lande. Right in the pocket of that incredibly flexible blues-rock connected sound.

Anyway, fantastic reaction and insight per usual.
This singer immidiately reminded me of good old Whitesnake too!
He has a higher thinner voice than jorn or dino more like ray gillen with dirt on the voice
@@scottbrofsky7834 I totally hear the Ray Gillen too.
Thanks so much for recommending this band. What a voice and band! I'd never heard of them before watching your video. I have recommended them to friends too. Cheers from the UK! 🤘😄👍
Emerging artist? ADRIENNE COWAN!!! She's a absolute vocal savant, like a mix of Floor Jansen and Will Ramos. Her genre is Symphonic Black Metal, with the occasional pop and what she calls dark jazz influence. And she's the one doing the orchestration for her band Seven Spires, as well!
Absolutely! I just saw Seven Spires live a few weeks ago and they did not disappoint! I wish they had more time to play more than six songs! Fantastic band!
I worship the ground Adrienne walks on.
Seven Spires was actually the other band that I had to choose from this round. I went with Girish, but absolutely WILL be bringing some Seven Spires content to TCV soon. Adrienne is absolutely incredible!
@@TheCharismaticVoice So happy to hear that!
@@TheCharismaticVoice I'm so glad to ear it. Found them recently and it was love at first sight. 💖💖💖💖😁🤘
Bravo for using your reach to shine a light on upcoming artists! I'm a huge fan of this idea. I had never heard of Girish and the Chronicles, and they are totally my jam!
I love this format and am excited about the new series, especially if you continue to find people/bands that are as incredible as this one!!!
Holy crap! Love this band, thanks Elizabeth. He's got an amazing voice and in Hail To The Heroes I think he sounds very Chis Cornell. Another awesome vid
Another great rock vocalist,is Dino Jelusick,hes been on YT ,doing versions of Deep Purple ,and classic rock,what a voice !!!!!!
Elizabeth has to hear Dino. Still waiting patiently. @The Charismatic Voice
@@MarkCox21125150 Agreed,top rock vocalist.
Dino is soooo good!!
Dino is super impressive!!
Dino is awesome but doesn't have the power and control of girish. Girish is a powerhouse, even live.
Rock will never die! Especially when bands like this take the torch and blaze a path into the future. Thankyou for intoducing us all to an awesome band.
Girish has an amazing range and is incredibly versatile 👍👍👍
These guys are *AWESOME*!!! They are bringing back the hard rock/metal music of the 80s in a serious way!
*BONUS* Watching Elizabeth get giddy over the sound... LOL! Much Love, Elizabeth!!!
OMG that was exactly my suggestion when you asked!!! although I'm sure more people suggested something similar. Excellent! It may not generate too many views on your channel, but I'm sure it can be a great impact for those artists! 👏👏👏
This is probably the first time I've seen a band actually have a bass solo, outside of psychobilly music with a double bass. I think I just found my next band to binge the entire discography of. :P
Raphael Mendez sounds exactly like Bruce Dickenson, and can sing virtually any song as Bruce would!
I am SO pumped that you picked Girish!! I discovered then earlier this year and absolutely LOVE them! His voice is fricking awesome!
If you're going to do emerging artists, my wife and I would really like to recommend Dino Jelusic from Croatia. He has a voice full of power on one side then can swoon the most beautiful times on the other. You would DEFINITELY love him.
Wow! This is an amazing idea!🚀
Update after watching: Thank you for digging these guys out. They sound really great. Not only Dio like, the guitars and vocals of 'Rock N' Roll is Here To Stay' also remind me strongly of Kiss 'Love It Loud'. God gave Rock'n'Roll to them, definitely !! 'Ride To Hell' is now on my Spotify playlist and I'm sure there will be more. Great stuff this is 🤘🤘
Holy cow, just found a live recording of 'Ride To Hell' on their channel - they sound live just as good as on the studio recording!!! Wow! 💯
This is why both my utube accounts praise this channel and absolutely love this concept,showing humility and integrity by shining light on not so known or popular independent artists,bravo TCV staff and Elizabeth for incorporating this to the channel
Definitely going to check out some more of their work, although I'm very upset that I'm just now hearing about them. I always love a band that isn't afraid to let the bassist lay out some grooves
Thank you so much for shining a light on emerging artists! I think it's a great way to wield your social media power!!
Hmm, sounds neat. I like the idea. Excited to check it out! 🤔🧐
This is amazing from the start of the song. Awesome reaction and analysis.
Nice to see this as a new feature. I am excited to see who will pop up! Also a big fan of Adrienne. I'd love to hear about what she did to prepare for those Eluveitie sets when she had to sing for Chrigel after singing with Seven Spires. She's a real pro. Also would love to see you chat with Ash from Tulip. She's a classically trained opera singer who now sings in a Symphonic Metal Djent band with her husband. They have an INCREDIBLE story.
I don't know whether to be pleased I found this band on my own in '22 or that you're giving them a big boost in viewership now. The latter I think! To see you give this ultra obscure band recognition is fantastic. Girish is a phenomenal singer!
You’re awesome Elizabeth, this is such a great thing you’re doing! Love that you mention each of the band members and their duties, it’s great to shine a light on music that deserves more attention.
Gothic/doom metal band Orphans of Dusk strike me as a group that deserves way more attention. They just put out their new album Spleen and the track I’m Going to Haunt You (When I Die) is a great one.
I must have pulled this from your mind as I thought this would be a wonderful way for you to give back! I'm so happy you're doing this. I hope to one day be analyzed by you! Keep up the fantastic work!
I've never heard of them before but that was an amazing journey. There was elements of Dio, Guns n' Rose's, Aerosmith and even Rob Zombie in his lower croaking growls. Very much happy to go listen to so much more of Girish and the Chronicles. Thank you!
And Sebastian Bach, and Geoff Tate, and Eric Adams, lol, and the list goes on. 👍🤯
Thank you for making a video on them..❤ from SIKKIM
Also, the drummer is playing traditional - a metal drummer using a Jazz technique: excellent! The group is solid too: great guitar, drums and bass lines (using his fingers makes a big difference - so much control! I think they modulated during the instrumental section. The call and response between the bass guitar is excellent - two solos, really! These guys can play!!!! Totally progressive at many points!
Thanks so much for sharing this, I sent the link to my friend in India so it’s really gone full circle, via USA and England! Insane band, they need a country the size of India to hold that voice!
Girish is awesome! I hear a bit of David Coverdale in his voice as well, especially in the verses of "Hail to the Heroes".
Definitely excited for this new series! It's exactly the sort of content I'd like to see and haven't come across elsewhere.
Love this idea. I have been a fan of Girish for a few years now and glad that they are getting some buzz. I would like to recommend a few more new vocalists that i think you would love. First up is Dino Jelusick, he also has a DIo sound as well as david coverdale. He has done some great collaboration videos as well as being involved in so many projects. Dirty Shirley, Trans siberian Orchestra, Animal Drive and just recently his new band Jelusick. The other one you need to hear is Erik Gronwall. he is the current singer of Skid Row and has an amazing body of work. He was diagnosed with leukemia and went through treatments and is now in remission. He did a lot of cover songs on his youtube channel during his recovery and they are just amazing.
Thank you for introducing these guys! The sound is so pleasant and brings back the great sounds of 80s rock!!!
I hope you will cover Mary Spender in this series, she is an incredibly talented and self-producing independent artist that deserves her moment in the spotlight!
Here’s another vote for Mary Spender.
Love @MarySpender
Mary is a fun, cool person and a great online personality (and that's fine) but TBH I honestly find her musical and songwriting gifts very plain.
With her naturally deep toned voice, her vocal ability really works best as maybe a jazz singer, and that's really not where she's going anytime soon. That deepness works against what she's trying to do in the upper ranges.
If she had say a really expansive, individualistic and interesting acoustic vocal catalog that used and explored the quirks of her voice very well, kind of like Ani DiFranco I'd think differently. That said, what she's doing on UA-cam is brilliant and she shouldn't stop.
She's not an "emerging artist" though. If we're talking any singers who deserve more spotlight then the list could grow huge. Glenn Hughes, Midnight, Jorn Lande, Marti Pellow, Mick Hucknell, many more.
I'd class her music as pleasant. She's talented for sure but not my cup of tea. Lovely speaking voice & Rick Beato rates her so that's a BIG plus!
Omg this band is incredable!
Thank you, E; for showing off this band!!!
You compared his sound to Dio, Dickinson, and Halford.
I'm going to add in one more legend who I could hear in Garish's voice... David Coverdale of Whitesnake!! (Who you still need to check out BTW 😜).
The new "highlight-a-lesser-known-artist" format is incredible and I'm looking forward to what you find next!!!!!! ❤
Absolutely Coverdale and Dickinson mix; I can’t feel much DIO because there is less clarity and range. Great nonetheless.
This band fits perfectly into the US 80's rock. Which I love
I was like "hell yeah, that sounds like Ronnie and Bruce," when I heard the first clip.
Then I heard the second clip, and I was like, "Geoff Tate!"
All of that, and yet he sounds like his own person.
Amazing.
A typical 80's Metal voice. There were so many GREAT singers back in the greatest music decade ever. Its coming back around thank god.
Emerging artist! I've gotta throw my hat in the ring with my fellow Canadian - Orville Peck. I've been yearning for a dive into his vocals ever since I was turned on to your channel, and he is just absolutely outstanding. Its as if Elvis and Cash had a lovechild that sings with an Operatic quality I think would be deeply appreciated here. "Let Me Drown" I think is one of the best examples of his singing.
He's already pretty huge, I don't know if he's really an emerging artist. Also, isn't he South African?
Reminds me of 80s metal and I love it. Thank you for introducing me.
Wow! I've not heard of Girish and the band before checking out this video. Such raw talent deserves more air time without a doubt. I would tend to add that some of the vocals hark back to David Coverdale,former Deep Purple vocalist. Certainly Girish has accrued an amazing range of vocal delivery spanning many acclaimed frontmen of the past. Ronnie, Rob and Bruce elements can be picked out but from a single vocalist this is one huge achievement.
Like the format, great idea Elizabeth., wow, awesome band, first couple of songs had me thinking 1980s Motley Crüe... then we go even deeper...
I love getting new artists and bands to follow via TCV...
Thank you for doing this. Girish is working on an album with George Lynch from Dokken. He is amazing and deserve recondition!
Thank you so very much for this, I'm always looking for new music and bands to listen to for inspiration in my own music - these guys are absolutely amazing
The cool thing about Girish is that he has a band with Chris Adler from Lamb of God. And Recently he sang on Joel Hoekstra's Album (Whitesnake's Guitarist)
He sang with Rowan Robertson last guitar player for Dio . Called custard pie. Also check out cover of Burn. By him
Been following Girish and the Chronicles for some years now. With out question they need more people to hear them. Love this band and love the guys in the band!
I loved the new series! El Efecto would be an incredible addition to it! It's a prog. rock / post-hardcore band with a lot of influence from samba and brazilian rhythms. The lyrics are in portuguese, but most of their videos have subtitles. "Café" and "O Drama da Humana Manada" are amazing!
Love this idea for the channel, there is so much good music around that doesn't get heard enough.
