Curly Curve - Curly Curve (1973 germany, stunning hard prog blues rock)



Curly Curve is a German rock band with roots in Berlin founded in 1968. The line-up changed a lot during their life time. In 1973 they gained a contract with Metronome Records.  The mother label of Brain. Eventually they only released one album on Brain in The Golden Era.

It is powerful blues rock with a strong American influence. Good vocals and very good musicianship. They really managed to create a own unique vibe on this album. Sometimes the music flirts with classic rock.
