The Cowboy Junkies are back and yes, better than ever. The new record, All That Reckoning, is dark in places, dense in others, and always brilliant. This one ranks among there best.

This band sounds like the CD and digital era never existed and record companies ruled the music universe. Their new record, the eclectically named Rompous Pompous, is not out yet, but it is destined to be a doozy. In the meantime, here is something from a few years back. Glam on my friends.
This hard Rocking three piece makes no apologies for being retro rockers. Whether it early Guns ‘N’ Roses, mid-era AC/DC or any vintage of Led Zeppelin these guys ride the hot tub time machine all the way back to the early 70’s.
If you are wondering what happened to Foxy Shazam, after their break though album, The Church of Rock & Roll, they broke with their major label and were on a forced hiatus and eventually disbanded in 2014. RIP Foxy Shazam, come back soon.
See the message from the band on their web site October, 2014:
After more than ten years of our lives completely revolving around Foxy Shazam, it is time to disband for an unknown amount of time. Performing more than two thousand shows together around the world has been life changing, but also has kept us from spending time with our families and pursuing our own passions and ways to grow individually as artists.
It has been an honor sharing ourselves and our music with all of you. Thank you to all of our fans, family, and friends that have supported us through everything to make this previous decade the best times of our lives.
We truly believe there is a future for Foxy Shazam, that our best art is yet to come. We don’t know how long this will take but we plan on someday returning more powerful than ever.
Foxy Shazam
The band Foxy Shazam is actually from Cincinnati, Ohio but you would never know it. Based on the amount of coolness in this band they should be from Los Angeles, or even San Francisco. Sort of a wicked hybrid of Queen and The Darkness meets Slade. “Holy Touch” is from The Church of Rock and Roll, a few albums back, but no less groovy.
One of the first videos to be released back in 2016 by this great group of high energy Rock and Soul Stirrers.
Relocating from New York to Dripping Springs, just outside of Austin, seems to have done wonders for the wandering spirit of Israel Nash. His latest record, Lifted, is a marvel. Part Beach Boys part Laurel Canyon Psychedelic Rock, this record is a throwback to the future in all the best possible ways.
This Brooklyn by way of Burlington, Vermont is a Classic Rock sounding band with a distinct 60’s and 70’s vibe to them. Their newest record, Hardly Electronic, is one of he best Power Pop records of the year.
A hard-driving Southern rock unit based out of Palestine, Texas, Blacktop Mojo’s fiery blend of post-grunge, classic rock, and metal falls somewhere between Soundgarden , Black Stone Cherry , and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Hands, or ears down, our favorite new band of 2018. The Church of the Cosmic Skull.
