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.
Video of the Day: Robbie Robertson and Company – The Weight (Song Around the World/Playing For Change)
This special version of The Band’s “The Weight” features Ringo Starr along with musicians from all over the world joining in to benefit the Playing For Change foundation.
This video is just one in the series that features an artist playing one of their signature songs with artists from all over the globe participating to create an international masterpiece. Previous songs covered in this series include “All Along the Watchtower” and “Listen to the Music.”
Featured artists on this one include:
Robbie Roberston, Larkin Poe, Marcus King, Ringo Starr, and Robin Moxey.
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.
Video of the Day: Katie Pruitt – Expectations
In some circles singer-songwriter, Katie Pruitt has been described as the female Jason Isbell, but she prefers to see herself as more of a Sheryl Crow vibing artist. Either way, we are looking forward to her debut album, Expectations, scheduled for release on February 21st.
Video of the Day: Ashley McBryde – Martha Divine
Ashley McBryde certainly stands out from the current crop of Nashville artists. Much less glossy and a lot more tattoo-centric than her contemporaries she has a bit more grit than one would expect. We’re not sure if “Martha Dive,” her latest song and video, is the first murder ballad of the year or not. Check it out and let your own eyes and ears be the judge.
Video of the Day: Jack J Hutchinson – Kiss Your Ass Goodbye
A gritty blend of Zakk Wylde, The Black Crowes, and Black Sabbath this Blues Rocker put himself on the musical map with his 2019 record, Who Feeds The Wolf.
Video of the Day: Gab De La Vega – XYZ
This new and eclectic singer-songwriter from Italy has a new record, Beyond Space and Time, Coming out on January 24th. This song is a folk-inflected number that captures the feelings of a person that sees his familiar world growing increasingly strange.
Video of the Day: Jose Feliciano – The Chain (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Jose Feliciano is back doing his thing and he has been very much been missed. This version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” allows Jose to put his guitar mastery on full display with a show that would make Lindsay Buckingham proud. This is his best cover song since the cover song hall of fame worthy, “Light My Fire”.
Video of the Day: John Anderson – Years
John Anderson is still Swinging. Here, he teams up with our buddy Dan Auerbach at Easy Eye Sound on a tune that is part Country and part Indie Rock. Good Stuff. We can’t wait for the album.
