Maybe you should try them....

Hey, who's that, they sound pretty good. Black Keys, Garrett replies, again. After about five repetitions, I figured it was time for a serious listen, and with good timing, for the duo of guitarist-vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney has just released Attack & Release, a project begun as a collaboration with the late Ike Turner. Hey, this is very good stuff.

Eric Danton, Htfd Courant- "With its varied sound and newly expansive songwriting, “Attack & Release” is a bold, but fitting, way for the Black Keys to prove they know more than one way to make a statement."
All Music Guide- "Back in 2002, it seemed easy to discern which of the Midwestern minimalist blues-rock duos was which: the White Stripes were the art-punks, naming albums after Dutch art movements, while the Black Keys were the nasty primitives."
Rolling Stone- "Note to Amy Winehouse: Book these dudes for a collaboration."
