Their new record does not come out until November 22nd. But, in the meantime, you can savor this little slice of Rock and Roll pie.

Song of the Day: The Down ‘N’ Outz – Goodnight Mr. Jones
The latest from Def Leppard’s Joe Eliot’s side-piece band. Here they forge their own identity apart from their Mott The Hoople fan boy cover songs.
Video of the Day: Dirty Honey – Rolling 7’s
The latest video from the bands recently released debut E.P..
Song of the Day: Black Hand – Grape and the Grain
Who needs Greta Van Fleet when you have Black Hand. These Chesterfield rockers that blaze a trail as the U.K. version of Rival Sons can easily be pictured hanging out in their bedroom listening to Free, Led Zeppelin, and Cream, volume turned up to 11.
What We’re Listening To (September 21, 2019)
Marc Broussard – Whipping Post
This one is from the compilation, Big Band of Brothers: A Jazz Celebration of The Allman Brothers.
Liam Gallagher – Champagne Supernova
We don’t have a dog in the Liam Vs. Noel Gallagher fight, but we really like “Champagne Supernova.” Here, he performs the song in the BBC studios in promotion for his newly released record.
Red Rum Club – Kids Addicted
Their 2019 album, Matador, is already a terrific record from this high energy sextet from Liverpool. And, now, a cherry on the sundae is given us with this, their latest single.
Mystery Jets – Screwdriver
There is a lot of anticipation in the halls of Rock is the New Roll H.Q. for the new Mystery Jets album. Here is the first single to be released.
Video of the Day: Whiskey Myers – Bitch
These guys are one of the best kick-ass band on the circuit today. Here is their latest lament to life on the road.
Video of the Day: The Struts – Jumping Jack Flash
Few front men on the planet would have the nerve to go balls-out on this classic tune. Luke Spiller and and The Struts pull it off with swagger and flair.
Video of the Day: Testarossa – Rock -N- Roll
Testarossa might just be your next favorite Rock and Roll band. Hailing from Charlotte, N.C., this band of hard charging Rock and Roll gypsies are in it to win it. “Rock – N – Roll” grabs your ears from the opening cowbell and demands that you grab your bottle of Jack Daniels and head to the stage. If Spike from The Quireboys fronted The Georgia Satellites this is what that band would sound like. The future should be bright for these guys.
Video of the Day: Block Buster – Move
This young band from Finland has just signed a record deal with Frontier Records and has their debut record coming out on September 13th. A Classic Rock approach with an anthemic sound should translate well to the festival circuit.
Best Albums of 2019: The New Roses – Nothing But Wild
This one might be the Rock and Roll record of the year. And, if this were thirty years ago most of the songs on this scorcher of a record would be in the top 10 with a bullet. “The Bullet” would have made a perfect Night Ranger ballad, “Can’t Stop Rock and Roll” sounds a bit like Bon Jovi on steroids.
The choruses are huge, the hooks are everywhere and with songs that extoll the virtues of a six pack and a radio down by the river you won’t even need throwback Thursday to bring back the good old days.
Part Def Leppard part Brian Adams, if you are of a certain age this album would have been the soundtrack of your 20’s. As it is, let this be the soundtrack of a waning summer.
