We are not sure how we missed Yep Rock Records, the label for Chuck Profit when we were calling out the best record companies, but we did, and we are here to make amends. In advance of a new release later this year San Francisco’s golden boy is out with a new single.

Video of the Day: Still Corners – Black Lagoon
Nothing if not eclectic, this band consisting of Greg Hughes and Tessa Murray call out their influences as Vangelis, Ennio Morricone, and The Shadows. Shifting their focus ever so slightly from the ’60s to the ’80s with their recent output, the new-found vibe for the band has an open road Western feel that is perfect for a sunset road trip.
Video of the Day: The Hellflowers – Come On, Let’s Dance
Having been a touring band for years, Christina Hellflower and her band released their first proper album, Por Vida, in 2019. With their intoxicating brand of Glam Punk, Their single “Come On, Let’s Dance” was featured on Vanderpump Rules.
Video of the Day: Robert Ellis – Topo Chico
New West Records is on our list of favorite music labels with virtually every artist in the stable right up our musical alley. In addition to Robert Ellis, the diverse artists they represent include Wild Moccasins, Andrew Combs, Seratones, and Sam Doores, all of which are very much worthy of your ear-time.
Video of the Day: Joe Mansman and The Midnight Revival Band – Sellout
Joe Mansam and his Midnight Revival band are one heck of a Rock and Roll band. Having released only a four-song e.p., they spend most of their time touring as a working band.
Video of the Day: The Dead Daisies – Mexico
The Dead Daisies are a Rock collective of musicians with a slightly varied line-up every couple of years with David Lowy acting as ring-leader as he brings together available musicians for a new tour and album. As the DNA of the band stays pretty much the same with each version of the band, straight-ahead ’70’s style Rock and Roll is the order of the day, they are always making a great music no matter who is in the band. This song goes back to 2015 with John Corabi on vocals. The band is in the process of putting together an album and tour in 2020 with Glen Hughes on bass and vocals. It should be stellar.
The video for “Mexico” that features strippers and clowns is worth the price of admission alone.
Cover Song of the Day: Dirty Honey – Last Child (Aerosmith Cover)
The band Dirty Honey hasn’t even released a proper full-length record as yet and they are already on our radar as one of the best up and coming bands of the new decade. Here, the band covers the concert staple “Last Child” from the Aerosmith Rocks album.
Video of the Day: Revolution Saints – Price We Pay
What do you get when you mix in a member of Whitesnake, a Night Ranger, and a key member of the redux version of Journey? The answer is, you get Revolution Saints courtesy of Frontier records.
This “Band” is not likely to tour, after all, Jack Blades, Deen Castronovo, and Doug Aldridge all pretty have their day jobs keeping hair metal alive. But, if you like good old fashioned melodic rock, this band, and their new record Rise, just might be your jam.
Live Video of the Day: Pike & Sutton – Bright as the Sun (Austin Music Live)
Pike & Sutton is a partnership anchored by the powerhouse vocals of Patrice Pike and the guitar mastery of Wayne Sutton. Their collective R&B, Soul and Roots-Rock sensibilities should make this duo one to watch in 2020.
Song of the Day: Caleb Caudle – Better Hurry Up
The title track for his new record to be released April 3, features John Paul White, and Elizabeth Cook.
