Five Cool Ones: Five (More) Reasons That Rock Is Not Dead
The state of rock music in 2023 is definitely destination full speed ahead. If The Rolling Stones can put out an album that is actually ferocious, there is hope for the world.
Here are five particular cool platters that we have been vibing to at Rock is the New Roll.
Black Spiders – Hot Wheels
Every song from their 2023 record Can’t Die Won’t Die is a scorcher with the monster riffs and gang vocals on “Hot Wheels” standing out.
The Struts – Rockstar
Unrelenting glamsters, Luke Spiller and The Struts offer up an addicting form of Rock and Roll on this arena-worthy gem.
Kelsy Karter & The Heroines – Love Goes On
New Zealand rocker Kelsy Karter delivers a Def Leppard worthy sugar pop frenzy on this one.
The Cold Stares – Cross The Line
Mixing Blues, Southern, and Hard Rock, The Cold Stares amped up from a duo to a power trio on this stomper.
Gypsy Pistoleros – Come On Eileen
Ears down the best Rock cover song of the year, Gypsy Pistoleros wear the mantle of best Glam, Flamenco, Rock band proudly.
Five Cool Ones: Five Bands we missed in 2018
As per usual, once we close the books for one year, a bunch of new records grab our attention and demand some ear time. It was an outstanding year for Rock and Roll with The Record Company, DeWolff, All Them Witches, and many more delivering the goods and then some. Here are 5 more bands that you need to know about that you may have missed.
Roxanne
Not only is Roxanne a perfect band name, their new record, Radio Silence, is pretty much a perfect album. Released 30 years after their self-titled debut look for shades of Warrant, Queen, Foreigner and Night Ranger.
Dorothy
Classy L.A. Rockers fronted by a powerhouse singer Dorothy Martin. 28 Days in the Valley is a scorcher of an album.
Station
Vintage 80’s hair metal vibing at the finest level. If you like Def Leppard, Skid Row, or Swedish darlings H.E.A.T. you will love this band.
Joyous Wolf
Having appropriately teased us with a single in 2018, Mississippi Queen/Slow hand, we can only wait and wonder what is in store for us. If their hair on fire version of the Mountain classic is any indication, we are in for a Rock and Roll treat.
The Cold Stares
One of the best Blues Rock duos in the game today. Fusing smoky Southern Blues with Alternative Rock, all systems go for this band if the new record Mountain is any indication. Just hope you make it out alive.
