Video of the Day: The Launchers – Stop Don’t Listen

The launchers are a band that is a bit hard to qualify. They don’t have a proper record out and they have only released a few singles. The group Madness is about as close as you might come for comparison purpose. They are a fun band with a bit of Ska thrown into the mix.

Video of the Day: Jake Shears -Big Bushy Mustache

For those of you that are lamenting the demise of the Scissor Sisters, lament no more. The head man of the Glam Rock band Jake Shears has released his first solo record and it is a fun one. Full of pomp, circumstance, and bravado this one is next level glamerific. Somewhere Freddie Mercury is smiling.

 

Rock Chick of the Day: Odetta Hartman – Widow’s Peak

The vibe here is a totally entrancing one of Indie Appalachian Pop. If there is no such genre, there is now. The new record is called Old Rockhounds Never Die, and it is a slow burner stunner of a record. Multiple listens will reward the listener with the discovery of a new favorite artist.

Video of the Day: Kris Barras Band – Stitch Me Up

The new album The Divine and Dirty has received high praise and should be on a lot of end of the year best of lists on the Blues-Rock charts. One of the UK’s finest Rock Band has a sound that is full of dirty riffs, scorching guitar sol’s, and monster hooks. Everything that is good about Rock and Roll.

 

Video of the Day: The Rock*A* Teens – Turn and Smile

First of all, dissociate your brain from any preconceived notion about what this band should sound like given the funky cartoon band sounding name of the group. You would be wrong. These guys are cool. The vibe is sort of The Replacements mixed with Elvis Costello, pretty cool actually.
