We’re going to tell you a secret: we love classic rock. Not just legends like The Doors and Led Zeppelin — we’re talking about bands like REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, 38 Special and so forth. Sometimes one just wants to chill with some mellow music and, obviously, the three bands we’ve just named definitely fall under…

If you miss the days of pretty hair band ballads, you should appreciate We The Kings’ ambitious new single, “Stone Walls,” which starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds into something potent if not powerful.

If you like a healthy dose of rock in your pop and a dash of the psychedelic for good measure, well, look no further. The Art of Amputation’s glorious new single, “Distorted Pop Song,” is all that and a damn strong, complex cup of coffee. A massive anthem if ever there was one, monstrous drums…

Normally, just posting a URL will make the Soundcloud player appear embedded on our site, but today Soundcloud is apparently having hiccups or something.

The best video since the last OK GO video. This one just might be their best yet.

Ben Ottewell, vocalist and lead guitarist of Brit rock band Gomez, continues to submerge himself in the deep end of the blues on his second solo release, Rattlebag, which follows his first solo album Shapes & Shadows (2011). “Your prayers won’t raise me from this web,” Ottewell sings during the title track, “Rattlebag,” which opens…

At this point in the game, the always impressive synth rock band known as Fitz & The Tantrums has all but become a household name. And they just might achieve that status with this amazing new video for their gorgeous current single, “Fools Gold,” which opens with some heavy break up dialogue that should really…
