Video of the Day: Rival Sons – Too Bad
The latest single and video to be released in support of the new record Feral Roots.
Video of the Day: Trucker Diablo – Other Side of the City
Rockers Trucker Diablo have already stormed the U.K. with their somewhat 80’s brand of AOR Rock and now they have their amps set on U.S. domination with this single in advance of their upcoming record.
Song of the Day: Roseanne Reid (feat. Steve Earle) – Sweet Annie
With a voice that sounds like it comes from Tennessee not Scotland, Roseanne Reid teams up with Steve Earle on this hushed beauty.
Video of the Day: Peter Perrett – Once Is Enough
Having survived the 70’s Peter Perrett is ready to kick things into high gear with his Glam tinged blend of New Wave for the new era.
Sunset Strip Song of the Day: Sandness – Tyger Bite
“Tyger Byte” is the latest song and video from Italian power trio Sandness. There is little nuance in the look of this band or the songs that they play but that is sort of the point. If there is a genre called NWOHB (New Wave of Hair Bands) these guys would be among the torchbearers.
Song of the Day: Dinosaur Pile-Up – Thrash Metal Cassette
Don’t hate on Dinosaur Pile-Up because they recently opened for Shinedown. Hey, a band has to make a living. Actually, these guys are legit. Having formed in Leeds back in 2007 this Indie Rock band has been working at their craft building a catalog of solid songs. “Thrash Metal Cassette” is the first single to be released from their upcoming album Celebrity Mansions.
Video of the Day: Little Big Town – The Daughters
Little Big Town continues to impress and break themselves out of the cookie cutter modern Country mold. Their new song “The Daughters” details the challenges that young females face every day in living up to expectations that others put on them. This record is a dead-on cinch for Country Music song of the year. You can bet on it.
Video of the Day: The Cadillac Three – Crackin’ Cold Ones With The Boys
No need to wrestle with the mental imagery here.
“We got ice, check. We got coolers, check. “We got cases of cold domestic gold just waiting for the sun to set.”
“We got tunes, check. We got girls, check. So come on, have another, we got Sunday to recover and we ain’t started yet.”
Your jam of the summer has just been released.
Live Video of the Day: Bishop Gunn – Devil is a Woman (Paste Studios)
Bishop Gunn takes as their influences The Allman Brothers, Rival Sons, The Black Crowes, and a slew of other Blues Rockers that you love. Pay attention, these guys are going to be big in 2019.
