This very under-the-radar band definitely is worthy of more ears coming their way. The vibe is very much R.E.M. by way of the Replacements with their latest record, Phooey, a Power Pop gem.

Cover Song of the Day: Blues Pills – Wild Horses
A perfect song for this Blues Rock to make their own while spending the pandemic downtown lamenting the fact that that can’t tour behind their latest full album release.
The song mas made for singer Elin Larsson to sing as she wraps her back of the barroom pipes around the song with the force of a tropical storm.
Video of the Day: Seven Days and Doesn’t Die – Snatching Defeat

Video of the Day: Goodbye June – Step Aside
The new record doesn’t come out until February 2022, but if this one is any indication what is in store color us in. ACDC with just a touch of roots rock is the order of the day on this one. Brian Johnson, eat your heart out.
