Gentleman Jesse- "Rooting For the Underdog"

Gentleman Jesse drops a new video and song with "Rooting For the Underdog." It's a rough, rowdy, and bluesy track from the garage rock frontman's new album, Leaving Atlanta. It's out now via Douchemaster Records.

Jesse's last album dropped about four years ago, and it was easily one of my favorite rock releases of that year. So, I've kinda been wondering if it would ever see a followup. Unfortunately, everything from a bad economy to nearly being beaten to death hit this guy between the release of these two records. Despite the trauma, the reckless rock 'n' roll energy is still there, and the video here reflects that. After all, there's nothing like taking your dad's muscle car out to pick up some girls and escape from the police.

The Gaye Blades- "Don't Get Married"

Here's a track from a new collaborative project featuring musicians from two of the best garage rock acts out there right now: Black Lips and Gentleman Jesse and His Men.

The Gaye Blades' first album is out now on Norton Records, and the track "Don't Get Married" alone makes picking it up worth it.

The chord progression and vocal melodies call out to rock 'n' roll's golden age--you know, a time when guys like Chuck Berry reigned supreme. However, the recording style and personality is lo-fi, filthy, and new. The song's subject matter is where most of the magic happens, though. The lyrics' violent threats--including kicking the groom in the nuts--are hysterical, and remind me why I follow the exploits of these bands in the first place.
