Almost unknown in France, this southern rock band should be al least known by all the southern rock fans. Musically between Blackfoot and Molly hatchet, the "Regulators" has been on the road for the last ten years. They already released an album in '92, with the leader and founding member Jimi hughes, who, in '93, will leave us to "join" Ronnie Van Zant, Leon Wilkeson, Duane Allman, Steve Gaines and too many other ones. It's not been very easy for his friends to keep the band going, and we had to wait 6 years to get a new album, "Bar & Grill". From the very first listening, is's clear the band, the spirit and the sound evolved.
Jimi Hughes 's absence changed many things. The band, at that time, has a sound close to Molly Hatchet. They now have an approach reminding some "Guns and Roses", or "Drivin n Cryin".
