Video of the Day: Victor Wainwright and the Train – Thank You Lucille

Starting out his musical life as a Roots Rock ‘N’ Roll act, Rufus Wainwright has reinvented himself in fine fashion as a Blues-Rock band. Since he is fronting a piano-based band expect a lot of good times boogie-woogie served with a side order of New Orleans blues. The self-titled new record is tremendous and should be heard by more ears. “Thank You, Lucille” is a tribute to B.B. King and his signature guitar.

Video of the Day: Mandolin Orange – Golden Embers

The latest video from Bluegrass band Mandolin Orange from their soon to be released album, Tides of a Teardrop on Yep Roc records. The song and video chronicles the suffering and healing singer Andrew Marlin and his father endured following the death of Marlin’s mother.

Video of the Day: Bat Fangs – Rock The Reaper

Bat Fangs is a spin-off band rising from the ashes of Ex Hex while Ex Hex sprung from the loins of Wild Flag and Wild Flag was a Sleater-Kinney spin-off band. If you can absorb all that, now just sit back and enjoy this female empowered hair metal throw-back band that takes influences from Bon Jovi, Guns ‘n’ Roses, and The Bangles into one heck of a fun listen.

Video of the Day: Royal Blood – Figure It Out

The new Royal Blood record should be out soon and we cannot wait. The first video from the upcoming record features “Figure It Out,” and a video that has been over 84 million times. Forget the hype machine of Great Van Fleet. The Struts and Royal Blood are the bands to watch in 2019.
