Video of the Day: The Lemon Twigs – A Dream Is All I Know
The second proper single to be released from the upcoming Lemon Twigs record. Part ‘60s shindig pop, part Jellyfish, part Beach Boys meets Badfinger, and all cool.
Song of the Day: Little Strange – Alright Now
While sharing a bit of DNA with the Free classic, this belter stands on its own. These Manchester rockers walk the tightrope between Indie Rock and Classic Rock with the aplomb of a Wallenda.
Video of the Day: Gen & The Degenerates – Kids Wanna Dance
Think of a more subversive Debbie Harry, or a cooler Pretenders and you will get the general vibe of Gen & The Degenerates. Hailing from Lancashire and Cambridge, these young riot grrrls self-describe themselves as accidentally punk. This one is from their freshly – minted record, ANTI-FUN PROPAGANDA.
Video of the Day: The Middlenight Men – The Middlenight Men Theme
This band of masked power pop crusaders have arrived to save the day with their first single from the upcoming record, Issue 2. This one is a heavy dose of Jellyfish on steroids.
Song of the Day: The Struts – Heaven’s Got Nothing On You
There is something percolating there in the Struts camp, this ballad is yet another quality single in advance of their 2024 record.
Song of the Day: Silveroller Other Side
Silveroller is a band that will definitely be on radar in 2024. Very much in the Rival Sons mold, the band also carries some Black Crowes and Rolling Stones in their DNA.
Video of the Day: Battlesnake – Motorsteeple
Self-described as a metal band forged in the fiery pits of the underworld, this Aussie seven-piece blasts down the highway with a healthy mix of Judas Priest and Electric Six. A fun ride that should be on your next road trip playlist.
