What We’re Listening To (August 8, 2024)

Elles Baily – 1972

Her latest single, “1972” was released in advance of her upcoming album, Beneath The Neon Glow, celebrates doing our best to live in the moment just like in 1972. The record is set to see the light of ear later in the year.

Kyle Daniel (feat. Maggie Rose) – Fire Me Up

One of the best contemporary Southern artists in the game today, old-school meets new-school on this backwoods charmer, “Fire It Up.” Produced by Jaren Johnston of The Cadillac Three, this single is from the newly released long-player, Kentucky Gold.

Gorilla Riot – Molotov Sister

There is more than a little Rolling Stones swagger on this grunge-adjacent single from Manchester’s own Gorilla Riot. The new record, Salvation, coming out in October is set to be epic.

Blues Pills – Bad Choices

It’s no secret that here at Rock is the New Roll we carry the torch for Blues. With their latest, “Bad Choices,” we are treated to a head-shaking bombast of Blues Rock courtesy of the best front women in Rock.

Austin Gold – The Wire Defines

There is nothing like a bit of Night Ranger-adjacent AOR to take you back to the days of your youth riding around in your El Camino with Eddie Money blasting on the cassette player with the smoke so heavy you can barely see out of the windshield.

Cover Song of the Day: Blues Pills – Wild Horses

A perfect song for this Blues Rock to make their own while spending the pandemic downtown lamenting the fact that that can’t tour behind their latest full album release.

The song mas made for singer Elin Larsson to sing as she wraps her back of the barroom pipes around the song with the force of a tropical storm.
