Oceanator is Brooklyn based Elsie Okusami. In this track from her upcoming record to be released in August, she sums up the current state of affairs quite adeptly. “There’s a crack in the world/And we’re all hanging on, hanging on trying not to fall through the void/Sometimes there’s only so much you can do.”
Roadrunner, the new ready to be released album from Joyous Wolf is yet another excellent record to have a delayed release this year. But fear not, we get to sample an appetizer with the release of the single and video of “Odyssey.” This album just might be on our list of Rock albums of the year.
The reigning Queen of Metal music, Doro Pesch, is out with a new single and video showing the mere mortals that you really don’t have to grow old.
Maybe, just maybe, we should have listened to John Lennon when he said just give peace a chance.
One of the freshest Rock & Roll outfits to hit the streets in quite some time. Massive Wagons is set for a new release later in the year.
From her stint with Alice Cooper, her collaborations with Richie Sambora as well as her solo work, Orianthi always captivates with her exquisite guitar work.
A fine acoustic version of a single from her album release that has been delayed until later in the year.
The S.F. Glam-Psych band Jellyfish crashed and burned after two highly excellent albums, Bellybutton, and Spilt Milk. Now, three members of the band, Eric Dover, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Tim Smith have reunited to form The Lickerish Quartet. Her, the first single from their upcoming record, we are treated to elements of the original band along with an Essence of Queen, ELO, and Cheap Trick.
Not sure there should be any controversy here. Adam Lambert is a great frontman and Roger Deacon and Brian May are still in fine form. Viva Queen!
Jeff Beck and Beth Hart rip up the stage on this live performance from The Crossroads festival in Dallas, Texas. Bass player extraordinaire Tal Wilkenfield almost stands fret for fret with Beck on this scorching version of “Goin’ Down.”
