Black Stone Cherry has been one of those bands that has grown on me after some years. The group landed on Roadrunner Records back in 2006 (I honestly thought they were signed to compete with other label mates such as Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman), and made quite the splash with their country twang twist on rock n roll. Now fast forward almost a decade later, and the four piece southern rockers have produced four albums, three extended plays, toured countless around the globe, sold a substantial amount of albums, and now have plans to drop their fifth album titled Kentucky (where the boys are originally from). Check out the latest single from them titled "The Way of the Future".
Not a bad start to the album after a very successful run of their fourth Magic Mountain. Being that the band has turned to more of a heavy side in their last few albums, it was nice to hear some of that heaviness carry on, of course alongside that southern twang. The fifth album, Kentucky, will be released on April 1st, 2016 (no "foolin" folks). This will mark the first album after being signed to new label Mascot Label Group.
As of February 3rd, 2016, the band uploaded one of their new music videos for the new single "In Our Dreams". Check it out below:
Damn if that doesn't have a little down tune fun to it. I think one aspect of this band I have always enjoyed was the ability of the melody. They frequently have great hooks, and make the song seem full circle without being bound to the same formula. Anyways, my thoughts on the new music video, and looking forward to hearing more!
This news was all revealed just a few weeks ago, so be sure to check their official website, or AFGM for updates such as new music, track listings, pre-orders, etc. Cheers, and keep on rocking!

PSY Got It From His Daddy
OK, so are you all ready for the next wave of South Korea's uber popular PSY? Despite the ongoing fame he receives halfway across the world, the producer/dancer/songwriter is setting the stage for his next major single over in North America. With less than one month online, PSY's new single "Daddy" has already gathered almost 80,000,000 hits, and has no signs of stopping. Check it out below:
Now I don't find myself jumping onto every single this guy puts out, but I have to admit that there were some funky dance moves being thrown at us here, as well as a half decent beat. As for someone who was a fan of songwriters such as Italy's Eifel 65, the BPMs and synths gave me one hell of a flashback. From a music industry perspective, this is definitely posed for international success. Good beats, comedy, English lyrics, and of course those dance moves all make for one hell of a song, and music video.
Once again, there's no eagerness for me to run out and pick up every song PSY has created, but to deny this smile on your face after watching this video would be pointless. If you're interested in seeing what else PSY has to offer on his latest work, pick up a copy of Chiljip Psy-da, which is PSY's seventh studio album, released on December 1st, 2015.
