Back in May, Charli XCX released “Rock Music,” the big-statement lead single from her new album Music, Fashion, Film. Upon arrival, the track felt like a giddy, provocative goof: “I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we’re making rawwwwwwwk music.” Madonna, on the brink of releasing her own dancefloor-centric album, briefly took exception, but the beef didn’t last long, and now Charli is about to appear on Madonna’s “Danceteria” remix, due Friday. Meanwhile, Show Me The Body have taken “Rock Music” and turned it into rock music.

Today marks 100 years since the birth of John Coltrane, the saxophone genius whose playing changed the face of jazz. Naturally, there are festivities afoot, including the release of some long-mythologized live recordings.
Following the release of Parker Barrow’s sophomore album Hold The Mash, the Nashville blues-infused Southern rockers are pleased to announce that the UK-based southern blues country rock band, Wood Burnt Red, will be their special guests on their November and December UK tour.
The announcement coincides with the release of Parker Barrow’s cover of The Black Crowes’ “My Morning Song” which is taken from their latest album Hold The Mash. The track is available on Spotify.
The new album features songs from last year’s Hold the Mash EP, including the singles “Make It,” “Novocaine,” “The Healer,” and “Glass Eyes Cryin’,” plus the new songs including “Nothin’ Left To Save,” and “Ruby’s Reckoning.”
Parker Barrow’s “vintage-shop rock” sound features elements of rock, southern rock, blues, and soul; but the band’s brand of music is unmistakably and distinctly their own.
You will find an impressive mix of influences, both old and new, threaded throughout the band’s sound, including the Rolling Stones, Blackberry Smoke, Allman Brothers Band, Aerosmith, Tedeschi Trucks, the Black Crowes, Whiskey Meyers, and Led Zeppelin.
Parker Barrow has earned a reputation for their powerhouse live shows – blending hard-hitting blues, classic rock swagger, and Southern firepower. The band thrives on connecting with their fans and will continue bringing their message to the people across the US and Europe throughout 2026. Parker Barrow’s music channels the spirit and rebellion of true rock and roll – with no apologies.
Hailing from Worcestershire, UK, Wood Burnt Red are riding high with the recent release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Hold On Tight. It’s an album the four-piece were born to make. It’s a thunderous, heartfelt statement from a band hitting full stride. Rooted in country, fueled by rock and roll, and forged from real-life stories that hit hard because they are true, it delivers eleven tracks of unfiltered emotion, huge hooks, and raw Southern-rock fire from one of the UK’s most exciting new bands.
Bursting with country soul, southern rock fire, and the band’s unmistakable grit, the album arrives alongside their latest single “Best Things,” captures the song’s sharp wit and infectious energy. Their singles “Fire Me Up” and the aforementioned “Best Things” have received heavy airplay on Planet Rock Radio.
Husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane (lead vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums) lead Parker Barrow. The band name is a homage to Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow – the infamous American bank robbers during the early 1930’s Great Depression.
A random encounter in 2019 paired Kane with Turner, who was on the hunt for a new singer. Two weeks later they were on the road together, driven by one goal: making their musical dreams a reality. In 2023 Parker Barrow expanded with the full-time inclusion of guitarist and musical director Alex Bender.
Turner lays down a heavy groove while Kane’s electrifying, soulful vocals soar high over the top. Bender’s inventive riffs and fiery playing pull it all together, creating Parker Barrow’s signature sound. The band is rounded out by Will Tipton (guitar), Kyle Priber (bass guitar), and Eric Safka (keyboards).
Parker Barrow’s debut album Jukebox Gypsies was released in 2023 to glowing reviews from music press and fans around the world; with the single “Back to Birmingham” racking up 1.2 million YouTube views.
Their singles, “Make It,” “Blinded,” and “Nothing Left To Save,” are regular staples on Planet Rock Radio. The band are relentlessly on tour and recently supported Blackberry Smoke in the US.

Schadenfreude time! In recent years, Eric Deters, a right-wing YouTuber who has unsuccessfully run for office multiple times in his native Kentucky, has hosted an event called Patriot’s Day Freedom Fest at his Morning View farm in Northern Kentucky, just outside Cincinnati. Deters has called it “the best MAGA event, no question,” and past versions have drawn thousands of people. This year’s Freedom Fest was scheduled to go down this Saturday, with a list of speakers that included Kid Rock, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and various Republican politicians and media figures. It won’t happen because only six people bought VIP tickets.
