What We’re Listening To (July 29, 2024)

The Warning – Keep Fed
Coming out in 2024 with the buzz of label mates Greta Van Fleet, The Warning is a rock and roll sister trio from Monterrey that is showing some serious swagger on their latest record, Keep Fed. Halestorm by way of Queens of the Stone Age are proper touch points here with their Spanish-language single “Que Mas Quieres” holding court as an example of their energized sound.
Honey Joy – Live 100%
With a joyously punk sound in The Ramone’s territory, the infectious single from their latest album sounds like an 80’s classic. “The world’s on fire and maybe I drink too much.”
Shotgun Mistress – Mary Jane
Borrowing Electric Mary’s Rusty Brown for some vocal swapping, this single from Kings of the Revolution could have been on a flyer ripped down from a light pole on the Sunset Strip in 1979. These guys will make Ratt, Aerosmith, and Motley Crue blush.
Gyasi – Rock N’ Roll Swordfight
It takes some real self-confidence to come out with a second record that is a live recording, but when you have the swagger of a lion in a field of sheep you make your own rules. The entirety of Rock N’ Roll Swordfight blasts across your speakers like a Kiss or Bowie ‘74 bootleg putting the glam in glam-rock.
Recorded old-school live in small venues across the country the songs from “Cheap High” to “Sugar Mama” assault your senses the way MC-5 and Kiss did back in the day. This is the party-hardy record you need for these wretched times.
Redd Kross – Candy Coloured Catastrophe
And, speaking of Glam, this time of the Power Pop variety, we are clicking our heels to the blast from the past latest single from Canadian stalwarts Redd Kross and “Candy Coloured Catastrophe.”
Video of the Day: M.J. Lenderman – She’s Leaving You
Hailing from Asheville, N.C.. M.J. Lenderman grew up on Drive By Truckers, My Morning Jacket, Son Volt, and the rest of the 90’s Alternative Country crowd. Balancing his time with his band Wednesday, his new record Manning Fireworks will see the light of ear on September 6.
Video of the Day: Otis – Last Fool In Line
This ZZ Top endorsed band is loose, boozy, and woozy with a touch of the Faces thrown in for good measure. Keep your ears peeled for the proper release in August.
Video of the Day: Southern River Band – Chasin’ After Love
Old school, good time Rock and Roll is the order of the day with this Western Australian band that channels all the best from Thin Lizzie, Slade, Status Quo and beyond.
Video of the Day: Sisters Doll – Don’t Give Up On Us
There is plenty of cool Rock coming from down under, and Sisters Doll is one of the latest and greatest Australian real rock bands to come around in quite some time.
Video of the Day : The Armoires – Here Comes The Song
From the exquisite gang vocals to the dusting of E.L.O. Kama Sutra, this latest single from The Armoires is pretty much a perfect pop song, proving once again that Big Stir records just may be the grooviest record label on the planet.
Video of the Day: Futurebirds – Solitaires
A unique band in that they have three unique frontmen the best-kept secret in Athens delivers on a bed of Laurel Canyon and Grateful Dead vibes with their single, “Solitaires.”
Video of the Day: Bywater Call – Everybody Knows
Most definitely on the short list of Rock and Soul bands that you likely have never heard of, their latest, “Everybody Knows”’can stand right up there with the Tedeschi Trucks band.
