What We’re Listening To (October 13, 2024)

Chuck Prophet – Wake the Dead

Chuck Prophet, coming out of the good end of a cancer scare, has teamed up with Cumbia group Quiensave for a rhythmic journey across the globe.

Massive Wagons – The Good Die Youg

The ascent of Massive Wagons has been steady but strong over the last couple of years. Their ascension from club band to arena act has not diminished their ability to deliver in the Status Quo by way of Wildhearts mold.

Casts In Space – Time Machine

It would be a fool’s errand to sleep on the sincerity of Cats in Space and their ability to completely own their blanket of 80’s ballad rock.

The New Roses – When You Fall In Love

There is more than a little smoke from Rainbow’s “Since You’ve Been Gone” fire wafting in the air on this single from The New Roses latest record, Attracted To Danger.

The Heavy Heavy – Feel

Riding a British invasion train on a track of Goats Head Soup era Rolling Stones, this one would have been a spot-on summer anthem. If, summer was roll a thing that is.

What We’re Listening To (August 19, 2024)

Chuck Prophet – Wake The Dead

Wake The Dead, Chuck Prophets first album in four years, and also the first since he has been cleared of stage four lymphonia, is set to see the light of ear in late October.

Katy J. Pearson – Those Goodbyes

Her latest record, Someday Now, is a brilliant record with shades of First Aid Kit by way of Fleetwood Mac emanating throughout. There is a certain pop-panache on the break-out single, “Those Goodbyes.”

Emiliana Torrini – Let’s Keep Dancing

On the shortlist for Icelandic Artist of the Year, her latest record, Miss Flower, includes a sultry “Let’s Keep Dancing” and a romantic electro-pop ballad with “Lady K.” The album is loosely based on the life of Geraldine Flower, a friend’s mother who has been said to have been a free spirit who had 9 marriage proposals and was never married, even leaving one suitor at the altar.

Fontaines DC – Favourite

With their soon-to-be-released fourth album, Romance, Fontaines DC is advancing their game into next-level territory. Immaculately produced and sonically pristine, give this one a listen before searching out the full record that is a likely album of the year candidate.

Brown Horse – Sunfisher

Brown Horse is likely one of the best new Americana bands on the landscape today, and more than likely you have never heard of these guys that have drawn comparisons to Lone Justice, Uncle Tupelo, and Lucinda Williams. Think a slightly less off-the-rails Whiskeytown and you will feel the vibe.

Video of the Day: Chuck Prophet – Get Off The Stage

We are not sure how we missed Yep Rock Records, the label for Chuck Profit when we were calling out the best record companies, but we did, and we are here to make amends. In advance of a new release later this year San Francisco’s golden boy is out with a new single.
