Another one of the bands that is from the eclectic music scene of Nashville. Dixie Dragster combines Glam, New York Dolls, and Sunset Strip Sleaze. In other words, every touch point that we love here at Rock is the New Roll H.Q.

Video of the Day: These Wicked Rivers – The Riverboat Man
This one is all swampy Southern Rock grunge. Picture Lynyrd Skynyrd moonlighting as a grunge cover band. There is a ton of swagger on their latest release, Force of Nature.
Song of the Day: Pernice Brothers – I Don’t Need That Anymore (feat. Neko Case)
From the upcoming release, Who Will You Believe, the Pernice Brothers stay true to form with the Americana influenced “I Don’t Need That Anymore.”
Video of the Day: The Courettes – Shake
The Courettes, between scorching live shows, are finding time to go into the studio to lay down tracks for an upcoming album. This one is perfect for the mother son dance at an Austin Powers wedding.
Song of the Day: Paul Crane and the Overend Watts – Halfway Home
A bit of pop-punk here from the debut E.P. with guitars-a-plenty.
Video of the Day: Vampire Weekend – Classical
A nostalgic romp back to the glory days of Vampire Weekend. “Classical” certainly seems to be a harbinger of greatness in anticipation of the new record.
Video of the Day: Bon Jovi – Legendary
The bad news, no Richie Sambora. The good news is that Bon Jovi is back with a very JBJ worthy single, “Legendary.”
Video of the Day: Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts – Glorybound
The second single from his carefully curated release strategy in advance of his new record set to see the light of ear later in 2024. Tuk Smith is almost single-handedly carrying the torch for Rock and Roll the way it is meant to be played.
Video of the Day: Tucker Woods – Are You Glass?
Drawing disparate influences from Oasis, Mott The Hoople, and The Kinks, there is also a heavy Jesse Malin vibe in the ether with their latest single, “Are You Glass.” stay tuned for their upcoming L.P., Sunshine Blues.
Video of the Day: Leslie Mendelson – Other Girls
With a vibe that harkens back to Carole King and Burt Bacharach, Leslie Mendelson counts Jackson Browne and Jakob Dylan among her mentors. Her latest, “Other Girls” has a distinct Alison Morrisette vibe.
