Video of the Day: Yumi Zouma – Southwark
The new record, Truth or Consequences, comes out on March 13th on Polyvinyl, their first album for the label. A nice slice of Indie Pop pie, this New Zealand band floats in the Best Coast pool of warm vibes and sunshine.
Live Video of the Day: Elle King – Stop Dragging My Heart Around (High Note Sessions)
Elle King, daughter of Rob Schneider, plays the Stevie Nicks role on “Stop Dragging My Heart around” to ear-pleasing splendor.
Video of the Day: FM – Synchronized
It’s official, AOR, Album Oriented Rock is never a bad thing. After all who doesn’t love Night Ranger, Toto, and Journey. Here, the premier gate-keepers of the flame lay down their new single.
Video of the Day: Ashley McBryde – First Thing I Reach For
Ashley McBryde has quickly become a favorite here at Rock is the New Roll. With plenty of swagger and a whole lot of grit and attitude, her song selections take you from the bedroom to the barroom and back again. “First Thing I Reach For” is included in her recently released E.P. along with the highly excellent “One Night Standard.”
Rock Chick of the Day: Gin Wigmore – Black Sheep
Very much in the Fiona Apple and Brandi Carlisle mode Gin Wigmore is the musical force that Amy Winehouse could have been.
Live Video of the Day: Lisa Loeb – Stay (I Missed You) (Live from the 2019 She Rocks Awards)
Lisa Loeb hasn’t released anything in a while but here with the Command Sisters performing live from the 2019 She Rocks Awards she proves she is sorely missed.
Live Video of the Day: Suzi Quatro – Johnny B. Goode (Live at the 2020 She Rocks Awards)
If there ever was any doubt that Suzi Quatro can still rock, her performance this year at the 2020 She Rocks Awards should dispel any of those rumors.
Video of the Day: Formosa – Sold My Soul
The newly released single from German Rock band Formasa doesn’t break much new Rock and Roll ground, but there is always room for some good old fashioned ’80s inspired kick-assery. Legit enough to open for Nazareth recently, their new record, Danger Zone, comes out in March.
Live Video of the Day: Sammy Davis Jr. – Mr. Bojangles (Live In Germany 1985)
Here at Rock is the new Roll we are big fans of Sam the Wham, Sammy Davis Jr. His rendition of Mr. Bojangles is probably our second favorite version of this Jerry Jeff song only slightly behind Nina Simone. One thing is for sure. The dude never mails it in.
