Play It On Repeat! ROCK N’ ROLL CIRCUS

I am beyond ecstatic that young bands are bringing back the sounds of the sixties and early seventies. This is rock at its roots, when it was raw and real. None of that damn Auto-Tune sucking the life out of the sound. I’ll refrain from jumping on my soapbox. You get the idea. I’m not a fan of generic, neatly packaged music.

Back to today’s feature. Rock N’ Roll Circus sounds like I’ve flipped on the radio forty years ago, and I love the feeling! I hear the early Rolling Stones influence, which you’d expect given the band’s name. I also hear a little Van Morrison, some Clapton in the guitar. I also hear a blues influence in their style, as well as that early sixties folk. None of it feels fake or forced, and all of it sounds spectacular.

This is Rock N’ Roll Circus’s self-titled debut album, released last year. If you missed it, you need to just go buy it. Really.
