Is This Dio Singing or His Cousin? - The Rods

It's his cousin, who also plays guitar, but daaaaaaaaaaang! I think I need to check out more of this band...

Whoops, it's a different guy on lead vocals, but that is Dio's cousin on guitar. And that singer is doing his darndest to sound like Dio, I tell you what!

This is from their first album, with that guitar-playing cousin doing the singing for reals. I'm liking this band.

The Rods have some killer tracks for sure.

I have never really gotten into them but I am facebook buddies with both David and Carl and both are super nice guys. Carl Canedy is also a very accomplished producer and done albums with Anthrax, Overkill, Manowar and such.

David "Rock" Feinstein is indeed Ronnie's cousin and he does handle guitar and vocal duties for the band. It is a 3 piece band.

Have heard a few tunes from those guys a LONG time ago. Had forgotten about them, frankly. I recall a friend of mine selling a copy of one of their records for something like $500 back in the mid 90's. Must have been a great record lol.

They just released a new album!

Here's the title track:

^ Which is how I noticed their existence in the first place, while perusing the Wiki page for albums released this year so far.
