“I guess you could see it like that,” agreed Alexander Orn Numason, bass player for Iceland’s The Vintage Caravan when told that the bands’ music has been labeled classic rock with a retro tinge. “We don’t really think of ourselves as doing too much of the retro thing. Obviously, the influences are all there but at this point, I guess if we weren’t called in this whole retro stoner scene we would probably just be rock for lack of a better term. I don’t really care too much about the labeling, people just call us whatever they want.”
