Of the Day – Rock Is The New Roll

Song of The Day: The Gulps – Got Ya

The Gulp’s latest, “Got Ya,” is the leader in the clubhouse for fun single of the year. Scorching guitar solos, Austin Powers sensibility, 60s pop, and Indie-Disco all blend to create a sound that sounds like the Stones sped up to 78.

Playlist of the Week (January 12, 2026)

Rock is not dead, it is just harder to find these days, and that’s what we are here for. This weeks platters bring together some of the new fresh faces on the rock and roll landscape.

The Zac Shulze band takes you on a back in the day road trip to the Sunset Strip on an Aerosmith train, Jayler will have you dragging out those old Led Zeppelin T-shirts, Frontier V with “Deja Vu” sounds like vintage before they sucked Def Leppard, and the exquisitely named Smoke Stack Rhino hits all of the touchpoints on “Sugar Sweet Jackie.”

Grab a whiskey, crank this to 11, and relive your childhood. You can thank us later.

Playlist of the Week (January 5, 2026)

We have been on a bit of a Power Pop jag of late here in the halls of Rock is the New Roll, and this week we have of a bit of the new, some of the old and some obscure gems from those crate digging days.

Mod Lang, The Pretty Flowers, and Kai Danzberg all have new records out, Eddie and the Hot Rods’ “Do What You Wanna Do,” and Televisions’ “Marquis Moon” will put you in the hot tub Time Machine back to the glory days of the 70’s, and 80’s certainly was not on our radar in 1986 but is now.
