Power Pop mavens Emperor Penguin are out with a sparkling new record, Gentlemen Things. Out now.
Song of the Day: Chemtrails – Bang Bang
It’s not often that you run across a post-punk, garage, psychedelic power pop band in the wild. Chemtrails is a band that is not afraid to show their wares in eclectic glory.
Video of the Day: Revolution Saints – Changing My Mind
The current version of Revolution Saints includes AOR legends Dean Catronovo (Journey), Joel Hoekstra (Trans Siberian Orchestra), and Jeff Polson (Foreigner). With the latest single, “Changing My Mind” Frontiers Records continues to keep rock alive.
Video of the Day: The Last Internationale – Hero
The latest single from a band that should move from under your musical radar to front and center.
Video of the Day: Waxahatchee – Right Back To It
Katie Crutchfield, commonly known as Waxahatchee is out with her latest single in advance of a new record, Tigers Blood, coming later in the year.
Video of the Day: Midnight Motel – Gimme Some
These hard rockers from Spain deliver easy-on-the-ears, sleaze-driven rock and roll the likes of which our ears have not enjoyed since Krokus.
Perfect fare to listen to while you are painting houses, fixing your chopper, or digging graves.
Song of the Day: LJ Makkay And The Six – Bad Weather Blues
With a voice that seemingly comes from Hades that floats somewhere Between Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen, Long John Makkay and his 66 crew ride the Americana/Country Rock range.
The songwriting is first-rate storyteller fare with a big sound along with varying soundscapes that make every song an immersive experience. Consider us among the several that missed placing their latest record, Bridges, on our album of the year poll for 2023. It was well deserving.
Video of the Day: Yard Act – Hits
Hailing from Leeds, U.K., Yard Act delivers on a blend of Post Punk and 90’s hip hop.
Video of the Day: The Young Hearts – A Charmed Society
While the band may hail from Kent, their ethos is pure Gaslight Anthem, New Jersey. Their debut record, Somewhere Through the Night is American-style pop-punk. And, if you don’t believe us, just listen to the lyric on “Famous Last Words.” “I wanna dance like they do in Jersey.”
Song of the Day: The Petal Falls – Someday
From the soon to be released on this side of the pond, The Rhythm Train, “Someday” is the latest effort from this Kent, U.K. band that straddles that tightrope of pop, rock, and AOR with the aplomb of a Wallenda.
