Foreigner is on a roll. Not only have they sown and reaped a long-lasting career, but they’re giving back. Proceeds from a new version of “I Want To Know What Love Is” are being donated to Shriners Hospital for Children. The single appears on a new now-available album of live recordings, FOREIGNER LIVE IN CONCERT. “There is a spiritual undertone to ‘I Want To Know What Love Is,’ and when you apply the lyrics to a cause like Shriners Hospitals for Children, it brings a whole new meaing to the song,” said Mick Jones. Check out the video featuring Shriners Hospitals for Children patients. It will warm your heart. When you’re felling the "blahs" because the weather just won’t cooperate, put this one on from Cayucas. “Jessica WJ” is still reminiscent of the surf rock that brought twins Zach and Ben Yudin notoriety, but with a little more rock action. Still sunny. Still tasty. The track chronicles a bass-playing friend from high school and the regret of thinking about “what could have been.” Ah, yes. We’ve all fallen down that rabbit hole at one point or another in our lives. Note: Is it us, or does the name Cayucas sound like someone in a hacking fit? Watch that post-nasal drip… The Revivalists will make your head bop back and forth with their tune “Change”. We instantly feel funky-fresh and cool-cat when we listen to this one. It’s like going to the Church of Music and getting a sermon on how to be awesome. It’s an old-school vibe mashed with modern musicality. Cruise down the road with a grin on your face. Because a grin is cool-cat. A full-on smile is too much for this tune. Now that that is out of the way. Let’s focus on their promo picture. First, how did they get Howard Stern to sit up in this tree? Second, we love how no one is looking at the camera, except for the one guy in the back. Notice his shades are crooked? Punishment for looking at the camera! Third, what are these two guys on the left conveying to each other? “Dude, can’t believe we have to do all these promo shots and look aloof. I just want a Wendy’s Baconator.” “Dude, I think I got a rash.” Not cool-cat. If you’re a rock and roller—with a weakness for classic rock—then get yourself ready for Don Felder’s new album. The former lead guitarist and songwriter for The Eagles will release American Rock ‘N’ Roll on April 5th. But, you can pre-order it now! The album features some of the biggest names in music: Sammy Hagar, Slash, Richie Sambora, Orianthi, Peter Frampton, Joe Satriani, Mick Fleetwood, and more. Damn! Be on the lookout for a worldwide tour to promote the new tunes. Aside: We love band photos. Especially ones like this where the photog makes each member look... somewhere. Props to ol' boy in the back (beardo) who's just looking up. LOL They’ve been kickin’ around for a decade and they can’t be stopped. Canadian band (we won’t hold their nation of origin against them) Mother Mother is following up their popularity—41 million streams—with a new album entitled: Dance and Cry. Their tune “Get Up” is reminiscent of “Werewolves of London” with the howling. And again, army boots + alt music = life. Not sure we’d wear a bathing suit with said army boots. It’s kind of counter-productive, don’t you think? Like jeans and a tank top; flip flops and socks... |
