Sounds like a wanna-be Led Zeppelin band to me. In all fairness, they’re not the only band to have been influenced by Zeppelin.

Thanks for bringing Cactus to my attention.

ETA: Cactus and Led Zeppelin are contemporaneous, and there’s a serious argument to be made that Cactus’ drummer, Carmine Appice, heavily influenced John Bonham (and not the other way around). Interesting.
