Self-described as a metal band forged in the fiery pits of the underworld, this Aussie seven-piece blasts down the highway with a healthy mix of Judas Priest and Electric Six. A fun ride that should be on your next road trip playlist.
Video of the Day: Royal Republic – Love Cop
Should this title track from Royal Republic’s upcoming record be any indication, Love Cop should be a banger of a record. This one has an addictive pull that will have you hitting the replay button may times in succession. Van Halen meets The Village People meets E.L.O. on this ode to good times.
Video of the Day: Blackberry Smoke – Watcha Know Good
Proving once again that the band is incapable of delivering a bed set, Blackberry Smoke’s latest, Be Right Here, is another turn of excellence.
Video of the Day: The Pink Stones – Baby I’m Still Right Here With You (feat. Nikki Lane)
A duet in the classic George and Tammy Country mode, this collaboration with Nikki Lane is one of several gems from The Pink Stones 2023 record, You Know Who.
Video of the Day: The Lemon Twigs – They Don’t Know How To Fall In Place
Set your dials for May 3, 2024, and the release of the surely-to-be spectacular new Lemon Twigs record A Dream Is All We Know.
Video of the Day: Smoking Saints – Run for Your Life
Here at Rock is the New Roll we are suckers for a great band name, and Smoking Snakes fits that bill. Retro rockers in the Dokken, Ratt, and Kiss mold, the band wears their influences proudly while forging their own Joie De Vie in the Classic Rock landscape.
Song of the Day: The Struts – How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart)
Here at Rock is the New Roll there is not a universal consensus when it comes to the new Struts single. A bit on the poppier, melodic side of the Luke Spiller canon, when the new record is fully formed, an interesting listen awaits.
Video of the Day: Jesse Dayton – Night Brain
Whatever incarnation of Jesse Dayton tickles your ears, whether it is Blues, Rock, Rockabilly, or Country, he was in Waylon’s band, there is a perfect imperfection to his style that never fails to enhance the senses.
Video of the Day: Garret T Willie – Make You Mine Tonight
The best young guitar slinger this side of Christine “Kingfish” Ingram, British Columbia’s Garret T Willie with his grizzly vocals has a bit of Joe Bonamassa in his DNA.
Live Video of the Day: John J. Presley – Delicate Thread (Blue Eyes)
When you are down into your fourth shot of bourbon, this time is the right time to enter the devil’s playground that is Chaos and Calypso, the latest from John J. Presley. Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and an only slightly less dark Mark Lanegan would be relevant comparisons here.
