Whiskey In The Jar is the band’s latest single, a creatively fresh take on the classic Irish hit from Thin Lizzy, with equally retro visual effects to further reinforce that old-school escapism.

Ambient old school synths and the starkly contrasted weight of rock guitar riffs and vocals. The SKB’s deliver a divine fusion of rock and roll energy and poetic modern wonder, for mildly psychedlic anthem Dust In The Light.

Athens rock outfit DANNY&ELLI storm onto the scene with a fierce debut. Noting thick distortion and striking hard-rock riffs, Cheap Motels counters the classic weight of its set-up with a smooth female vocal lead, and flips the script once again for a string of lyrics both carefree and X-rated, as the track confidently rolls along.
