Ulysses has always been one of our favorite bands. Here they are with a brand new video and single.

What We’re Listening To Wednesday (July 31, 2019)
Here are the sounds that have been coming out of the offices here at Rock Is The New Roll HQ.
Adia Victoria – Different Kind of Love
This Nashville based singer is new to our ear lobes, but we really like the darker edged story-noir she brings to the table.
The Raconteurs – Help Me Stranger
We really like the way that Brendan Benson smooths out Jack Whites sharp edges. The pop sensibilities that Benson delivers makes this song one of the best of 2019.
J.S. Ondara – American Dream
This one is an album we keep coming back to in our playlist.
Matt Costa – Make That Change
The Laurel Canyon vibe is pretty prevalent these days, and we love it.
White Reaper – Might Be Right
Next to Nude Party and De Wolff, White Reaper is one of our favorite new bands.
The Avett Brothers – High Steppin’
Good to see these guys back.
Head and the Heart – Brenda
Good low- key Sunday sort of song.
Of Monsters and Men – Alligator
Just as soon as we have gotten their last ear worm “Little Talks” out of our heads these guys deliver us another one.
Video of the Day: Supersonic Blues Machine – Right Now
They have a new live record out that features ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and this one is released ahead of an album expected later in the year. A blues supergroup of sorts featuring Super drummer Kenny Aronoff, these guys are on our short list of favorite bands.
Video of the Day: Rosalie Cunningham – Ride On My Bike
The Blues Psych mistress of the dark has split up with her band Purson. Her new record, Rosalie Cunningham, is an intriguing winner.
Song of the Day: Hammered Satin – Satin Stomp
This L.A. Glam band has been making the rounds for some years now. Their new record Velvet Vortex is a definite Glam stomper.
Video of the Day: Jade Bird – I Get No Joy
This one is from her self titled 2019 release.
Video of the Day: Courtney Barnett – Everybody Here Hates You
With her latest video and single we can only hope another full length album is in the hopper for later in the year.
Video of the Day: Sam Fender – Hypersonic Missles
The future seems bright for this U.K. Youngster. He already has a stable of arena ready anthems like this one ready to pull out of his bag of tricks.
Video of the Day: Lizzo – Tempo
The latest video from her highly acclaimed 2019 album Cuz I Love You.
Best Albums of 2019: Shana Cleveland – Night of the Worm Moon
Known mostly for her work with the Surf-Noir Band La Luz, Shana Cleveland doesn’t stray too far from the vintage guitar, psychedelic haze ambience on Night of the Worm Moon, her second proper full length record as a solo artist.
The cool, laconic, mostly psychedelic under current that wafts through the entire proceedings like an early era Leonard Cohen poetry reading will instantly take you back to a time when television came in both colors. Black, and white.
“The Fireball” is a shoegaze-y mellow-tron of a tune and “Solar Creep” is a night time chill-out experience. Don’t expect the jams to be kicked out anywhere on this record, just a fine, understated, spectral beauty of a listening journey.
