Video of the Day: Tennis – Need Your Love
Husband and wife Indie Pop duo Tennis release their first single in advance of a new record set to come out in 2020. The song has a bit of a ’60s Burt Bacharach vibe going for it that is oddly refreshing.
Video of the Day: Best Coast – Everything Has Changed
Rock is the New Roll Hall of Fame members Best Coast are back and, yes, better than ever with their new single “Everything Has Changed.” The Surf Pop esthetic is still there but they seem to be gazing a bit less down at their shoes this time around ditching that vibe for a more robust Pat Benatar sort of approach.
Video of the Day: Mike and the Moonpies – Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Going back in time to their highly excellent 2016 Mockingbird record.
Live Video of the Day: Mike and the Moonpies – Might Be Wrong (Live On The Texas Music Scene))
Mike and the Moonpies along with Micky and the Motorcars are two of the best Country acts working the Honky Tonk scene today. They both are great live acts with dirt country Roots Rock sensibilities along with solid songwriting.

Cover Song of the Day: Rival Sons – Long As I Can See The Light (Creedence Clearwater Revival Cover)
Recorded back in 2015 for Record Story Day Jay Buchanan and Rival Sons pretty much slay on their soulful slightly laid back version.
Live Video of the Day: Rival Sons – Open My Eyes (Live at the Compound)
Rock is definitely not dead if Rival Sons have anything to say about the matter. This one is a live semi-studio version of the song from March 2019.
Song of the Day: Tennessee Jet – Crystal Blue (The Ballad of Jesse Pinkman)
An outtake from his 2015 recording sessions for his debut self-titled Tn. Jet gives his take on the life and times of Jesse Pinkman, the character from Breaking Bad.
Video of the Day: Futurebirds – Teamwork
Teamwork, the newly released record from Athens, Ga. based Futurebirds is well worth your ear-time and is already announcing itself as a worthy entrant on anyone end of the year list. Their blend of Country-tinged Roots Rock and three-part harmonies are partly laid back chill listens and part psychedelic head-trip slices of escapism.
