Prior to their upcoming live show at Rhode Island’s iconic Conserfest, June 22nd, we dive into some classic single releases, from San Francisco rock and roll trio Taylor and the Pretty Noises.
Rock and Roll
Having amassed hundreds of thousands of streams across a multitude of original rock and roll releases, the integrity and heart of all things DownTown Mystic has built up an impressive repertoire and following in recent years. That process culminates this season, with the release of a divine original album, and one naturally suited to lighting up the incoming summer months.
Introducing a creative country rock, punk, and metal fusing anthem – Get Out Of Dodge is a naturally energising original song, from Arizona alt-rock leaders Jesus Chrysler Supercar.
Always worthy of good quality speakers, volume, and a few minutes to spare – Effing and Blinding return on top once again, with their latest anthemic rock and roll offering Scab.
Globally renowned Americana live act The Dina Preston Band showcase the very best of their energetic and melodically infectious approach to making music. We’ve Been Everywhere is a timeless upbeat anthem, captured in what feels like a genuine single take, with the sheer passion and devotion of the band faultlessly united in everything from the celebratory concept to the musicianship.
Capturing the rock passion and style of the past but with a compelling original twist is no easy feat. Enter US rock outfit RYDER, simply pairing the strength of their songwriting, with the depth and appeal of their leading vocalist, across a rather faultless rock soundscape that naturally compliments both.
Inspiring positivity, with a sublime vocal lead and the warmth of a finely-crafted organic soundtrack – Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions blend pop-rock and country tones, with the five-track EP Never Give Up.
This release does indeed promise to deliver a soaring and satisfying hour-plus of Rock’n’Roll For The Soul. Not purely distortion and energy, but warmth, skilled musicianship, thoughtful and heartfelt lyrics – everything the soul craves from audio escapism and human connection.
“We’ve recorded a few Christmas songs over the years but I always knew I’d record this Billy Squier classic someday. Something about the bluesy vibe and rock n roll spirit of the track just screams Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen.”
Classic hard rock blends passionate vocals and heavily distorted riffs, alongside unrelenting energy and a catchy, concise hook resolve – Bulletproof reignite the guitar-rock intensity of the eighties, with No More Lies.
Scornful but satisfying, tuneful and unexpectedly joyful – Buck Dharma’s Eyes juxtaposes the darkness of its theme with the outright energy and uplift of this pure rock performance and pace.
Inspired by legendary performers and songwriters from Led Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac, Eddie & The Wolves deliver a naturally intoxicating devotion to the sheer passion, precision and power of rock and roll.
