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.

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: 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.
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.
