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.
Video of the Day: Dead Girls Academy – Far Away
From Hollywood, Ca the band Dead Girls Academy has risen from the ashes of Vampires Everywhere. Their 2018 record Alchemy was an under the rock radar gem. The new album is in the works and should reach your ears early 2020.
Video of the Day: Ulysses – Situation Man
Ulysses has always been one of our favorite bands. Here they are with a brand new video and single.
Video of the Day: Supersonic Blues Machine – Right Now
They have a new live record out that features ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and this one is released ahead of an album expected later in the year. A blues supergroup of sorts featuring Super drummer Kenny Aronoff, these guys are on our short list of favorite bands.
Video of the Day: Voodoo Vegas – Revolution
Another hard rocking group from the U.K. Proving that Rock is not dead, it just is better across the pond.
Video of the Day: Amyl and the Snifters – Some Mutts (Can’t Be Muzzled)
Despite their somewhat unfortunate band name the band of Post Punk Warriors is poised for world domination.
Live Video of the Day: Long Train Runnin’ (Live From The Bracon Theatre)
Live from the Beacon the Doobie Brothers perform the Albums Toulouse Street and The Captain and Me in their entirety. They have lost a bit on their fastball but here they do a nice job on the arrangement that helps soften the impacts of Father Time.
