Track Listing

1. Branded
2. Affliction
3. Broken Words
4. Go Back Now
5. Run
6. Mary
7. Ground Zero
8. Told Me (acoustic)

Hard rock is being good to me these days, I think. From a little Net searching, I came across some samples from Low Earth Orbit, a band from out of Tennessee here in the US. Low Earth Orbit began as the musical vision of guitarist/songwriter Anthony "Hollywood" Mcbrayer in 2000 and after several line-ups settled into the current line-up of Anthony, Dan(drums), Dave (bass) and Josh (vocals).

"Stoner rock" is what I've seen them listed under, but there really isn't a lot of drug references that would qualify the label. LEO is straight-up hard rock that would definately appeal to the classic rock favoring crowd. They have a 70's feel without the excessive jams and a modern sound without the commercialism and angsty baggage.

Josh has a fantastic barritone voice and the deep bass and drums give the CD an heavy gravity feel that is thick and comfortable. "Branded" shuffles like the harder moments of Pearl Jam and "Affliction" could almost find company in Zakk Wylde's catalog. After the classic throwback of "Broken Words", the aggression settles down with a looser guitar stance and smoother vocal sections that reflect the rural roots of their home area.

"Go Back Now" grows more comforting on each listen, but "Run" is my top number on this one. It's catchy and the guitar work is awesome. Both "Mary" and "Ground Zero"--a World Trade Center Disaster tribute?--are infused with mournful longing and "Told Me" is acoustic Skynard that's completely genuine.

Bottom Line: Turn off your numbingly repetitive radio and search the Net. Bands like Low Earth Orbit are out there with music samples and reasonably priced CDs.

Score: 8 of 10

    Heard 'go back now' on Guitar World CD-ROM. CD baby was great, delivered in 2 days. Played the CD at a party & numerous people were interested in what they were hearing. excellent work.

  • New rock with an old flavor
    author: Eric Osgood

    One of the best bands I've heard this century! I saw these guys play live a few years ago and was blown away by the guitarist McBrayer. Its refreshing to hear the guitar solo make a comeback. They are a mixture of Grunge and classic rock with a fresh original sound. I highly recommend this to anyone who digs hard rock the way it was meant to be.

  • GREAT GUITAR WORK!!!! GROUND ZERO IS MY FAVORITE
    author: LORI

    I love this CD, I recommend anyone who likes metal to buy this! Ground Zero was my favorite, however all of them are great!I look forward to the next CD!

  • I saw them in "Guitar World" magazine this month!!
    author: Idol UnderGround Listener

    I saw them in "Guitar World" magazine this month. Then I went to the Idolunderground website & boom They are really a breathe of fresh air. I actually bought their cd at Tower Records (wish I had come to cdbaby 1st). Anyway, love the cd. Great Guitar work , the vocals sound a little to 90's for my taste but after the 3rd song I was hooked.

  • Turn off the radio numbing and listen to LEO!!

  • Saw these guys at ANNIE'S in an opening slot and they stomped-
    author: Trish with City Beat Cinci,OH

    These guys were in Cinci,OH a few weeks back at a bar called ANNIE'S. They opened for @$%#&#*&#^ and blu them off the stage....imagine an indie band from Tennessee opening for a real up and comer , just taking to the fans and I think they sold out of CD'S that night!!!! Been a long time since I 've seen that happen here! Not since Metallica were just starting out!! They are touring in June and man....GO SEE THEM!!!!!!!

  • Smokin' Guitarist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Stoner with Metal Hammer/Europe

    These guys , What can I say!?!?! I didn't know what to think when I met them on a trip to America last year! They were playing in Myrtle Beach,SC. I ran into them partying at a strip club.....can I say this "Crazy Horse". These guys took me in and let me hang with them all weekend. We went to there show that night and "MAN"! Was I blown away!!! If you think this GREAT CD does them justice then see them "live"!!!! The song "Branded" is destined to be a track for the ages!! If you you don't own it!?!? BUY it!! You'll love it, that is if you love Guitar METAL!! and

  • I really enjoyed the CD, especially since I went to high school with Anthony
