There is not a whole lot new under this Rock and Roll sun. This Swedish four-piece female fronted band are unabashed torch bearers for late 70’s early 80’s glory days Rock and Roll. You know, when music was cool.

Video of the Day: Lenny Kravitz – Low
It’s hard to get my ears around the fact that next week, September 7, 2018, our ears will be treated to new records from Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, and Lenny Kravit. It is true. Stay tuned for Raise Vibration, In The Blue Light, and Egypt Station.
Five Cool Ones: Five Cool Releases For This (August 31, 2018)
In preparation for a bunch of cool new releases for the pre-Christmas release frenzy, we are starting to get some cool ones coming in.
Tash Sultana – Flow State
Multi-Instrumentalist Tash Sultana is really good. Here, she plays all of the instruments and channels Pink Floyd, J.J. Cale, Jimi Hendrix as well as Janelle Monae. There is not a song that is not cool on this record and “Blackbird” is a virtual Stunner.
Madeleine Peyroux – Anthem
This one is pure Madeleine Peyroux. Enough nuance and cross genre jumping to make things interesting without losing her Jazz sensibilities.
Passenger – Runaway
This time out England’s Mike Rosenberg, AKA Passenger, shows his love for his American roots, his father is from New Jersey, his mother from England, with a breezy, twangy record that is worth several listens.
Aaron Lee Tasjan – Karma For Cheap
Yep, it is finally here. We have been waiting for this one since it was first announced. Psychedelic in all the best of ways, this one spins the stylings of 70’s singer songwriter, George Harrison, and a little Glam on the side for a delectable listen.
Muncie Girls – Fixed Ideals
Whether you want to call this 3 piece U.K. band Post-Punk, Rock and Roll, or Indie Rock, it’s all good. There is a bit of Blondie vibe going on here with a whole lot of energy and swagger that carry’s through the entire record.
Video of the Day: The Struts – Body Talks (feat. Kesha)
Memo to The Struts. You don’t need Kesha to sex up your image as one of the coolest Rock and Roll bands on the planet. On second thought, this video is pretty damn cool.
Rock Chick of the Day: Beth Hart – Swing My Thing Back Around
Beth Hart is a consistent favorite of ours. Here’s hoping a new record is just around the corner.
Rock Chick of the Day: Doro – All For Metal
Doro raises the roof on this Heavy Metal Anthem. With apologies to Lizzie Gale, Doro, Decades into her career, is the reigning supreme goddess of Metal.
Video of the Day: Massive Wagons – Under No Illusion
Hailing from Lankashire, the Rock Band Massive Wagons just might be ready to hit the big time. With Full Nelson, their first Record for their new label Earache Records, the sound is tighter, crisper, and next level cool.
Video of the Day: Uriah Heep – Grazed By Heaven
Uriah Heep is back and they never really went anywhere. The new record, Living The Dream, is due any week now, and it is a scorcher. “Grazed By Heaven” is an organ and guitar drenched tour de force that could have been released in 1973. Rock On Boys!!
MTV Video of the Day: Pat Benatar – I’m Gonna Follow You (Number 30)
Pat Benatar’s “I’m Gonna Follow You” was the 30th video to be played on the fledgling television network.
