Welcome to the cover songs by rock bands section of my site. In here you'll find rock bands that are not based out of the USA as there is a separate section for those groups. 

You'll find links to tons of rock demos, free chord sheets, rhythm tips and some background info on songs by rock bands I'm sure you've heard of like ABBA, Nazareth, The Guess Who and many others. There will be 19 sections here once completed.
