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.
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.
Video of the Day: Smoking Saints – Run for Your Life
Here at Rock is the New Roll we are suckers for a great band name, and Smoking Snakes fits that bill. Retro rockers in the Dokken, Ratt, and Kiss mold, the band wears their influences proudly while forging their own Joie De Vie in the Classic Rock landscape.
Song of the Day: The Struts – How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart)
Here at Rock is the New Roll there is not a universal consensus when it comes to the new Struts single. A bit on the poppier, melodic side of the Luke Spiller canon, when the new record is fully formed, an interesting listen awaits.
Video of the Day: Screaming Eagles – High-Class Rock ‘N’ Roll
Lead singer Chris Fry leads this Northern Island flock down the rails riding their AC/DC template to sublime perfection.
Song of the Day: Electric Black – Take The Roof Off
An electric band in the Rival Sons mold, “Take The Roof Off” might be your walk-up song while your getting ready to win your Saturday night.
Video of the Day: Shed Seven – Let’s Go
Don’t sleep on this band and their new release, A Matter of Time, when the polling comes out for the top 10 Rock albums of the year. Every song is a spitfire with the Glam-Punk “Let’s Go” leading the pack.
