	They sound to me mostly like a heavy psych blues band with some prog tendencies. Contemporary bands that are in Heavy - likes of Quatermass and Warhorse - their material is much more developed. I would put these guys closer to Edgar Broughton Band, not as bluesy and maybe not as progressive either. That band Sammy that David mentioned in the OP also included Keith Gemmell... so with links to Stackridge and Audience, I think there might be argument for Ginhouse in Prog Related. Don't really see that happening though. http://badcatrecords.com/BadCat/Sammy.htm
