Of the Day – Page 15 – Rock Is The New Roll

Video of the Day: Smoking Saints – Run for Your Life

Here at Rock is the New Roll we are suckers for a great band name, and Smoking Snakes fits that bill. Retro rockers in the Dokken, Ratt, and Kiss mold, the band wears their influences proudly while forging their own Joie De Vie in the Classic Rock landscape.

Song of the Day: The Struts – How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart)

Here at Rock is the New Roll there is not a universal consensus when it comes to the new Struts single. A bit on the poppier, melodic side of the Luke Spiller canon, when the new record is fully formed, an interesting listen awaits.

Video of the Day: Jesse Dayton – Night Brain

Whatever incarnation of Jesse Dayton tickles your ears, whether it is Blues, Rock, Rockabilly, or Country, he was in Waylon’s band, there is a perfect imperfection to his style that never fails to enhance the senses.

Video of the Day: Garret T Willie – Make You Mine Tonight

The best young guitar slinger this side of Christine “Kingfish” Ingram, British Columbia’s Garret T Willie with his grizzly vocals has a bit of Joe Bonamassa in his DNA.

Live Video of the Day: John J. Presley – Delicate Thread (Blue Eyes)

When you are down into your fourth shot of bourbon, this time is the right time to enter the devil’s playground that is Chaos and Calypso, the latest from John J. Presley. Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and an only slightly less dark Mark Lanegan would be relevant comparisons here.

Video of the Day: Screaming Eagles – High-Class Rock ‘N’ Roll

Lead singer Chris Fry leads this Northern Island flock down the rails riding their AC/DC template to sublime perfection.

Song of the Day: Electric Black – Take The Roof Off

An electric band in the Rival Sons mold, “Take The Roof Off” might be your walk-up song while your getting ready to win your Saturday night.

Video of the Day: Shed Seven – Let’s Go

Don’t sleep on this band and their new release, A Matter of Time, when the polling comes out for the top 10 Rock albums of the year. Every song is a spitfire with the Glam-Punk “Let’s Go” leading the pack.
