17 March 2023 By jesse Leave a Comment

Grinding RAWK with an infectious chorus that’s destined to be a crowd sing-a-long favorite, the latest from The Horse Heads is destined to be your next favorite anthem and another in a long line of bangers from Cool Thing Records.

27 January 2023 By jesse Leave a Comment

Here we go again! Part wishful thinking, part playing detective while piecing together social media updates, and part actual facts! We could only be talking about our latest crystal ball viewing as we look to the year 2023 and hope for the best that those “confirmed” releases actually come out and that maybe our thoughts and prayers are answered when it comes to those with less concrete plans as of this posting. Join us, won’t you?

22 from ’22: The albums that Rawked Rock And Roll Fables in 2022

20 December 2022 By jesse 1 Comment

Maybe in 2030 we’ll stop doing these lists featuring a number corresponding to the given year and make it a little easier for us but for now we’re still finding it hard to whittle down the artists and albums that kicked ass for us so if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it, y’know? And 2022 delivered yet again!

Singles! Private Jetlag “Fortune Teller”

14 April 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

The Gap Band’s “You Dropped A Bomb On Me” has been a default alarm for quite some time for me so that legendary outfit is usually frolicking around ye olde subconscious. That said, it was rather refreshing to flip on the latest single from Private Jetlag to find that vibe is not only still going, but also going strong.

BAIT Captures Anxiety In A Bottle On Electric Electro-Industrial Hybrid Sea Change

25 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

This is it! The one you’ve been waiting for. Forget all other artists because BAIT is here with your most favorite debut of 2022 (Aside from labelmates A Cause In Distress at least). The brainchild of ex-Baddies vocalist Michael Webster and accompanied by former bandmate Jim Webster along with Luke Branch and MRE (Who also produced the record), Sea Change is an anxiety-ridden journey told in 10 parts. If any record captures the feel of uncertainty that the last 2 years has wrought it’s this one with even the recording lending itself to the atmosphere and opting (Mostly out of necessity) for more remote and separate sessions to capture it all.

Singles! A Cause In Distress, “Submission”

23 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

Oh, wow! As if anyone needed more of a reason to go gaga for A Cause In Distress! The band you love to love is back with their most righteously robust track to date with “Submission” which lands on March 25th through Cool Thing Records.

Singles! BAIT, “TV Personality”

16 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

It’s almost here! The new full-length from BAIT may be right around the corner (April 1st to be exact) but that doesn’t mean that the Southend outfit can’t roll out one more song to whet our appetites a little bit more, right?

Singles! BAIT, “My Tribe”

15 February 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

It’s so funny to me that a regular annual column for a blog I used to write for (“I Read AP’s 100 Bands You Need To Know In ____ So You Don’t Have To” over on Pop!Blerd which you can read here) over 10 years ago led me to Baddies which led me to Michael Webster which led to BAIT (And eventually Cool Thing Records who have yet to disappoint in the new music department). Life’s funny that way.

Singles! BAIT, “DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA”

12 January 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

Is 2022 the year of BAIT?!?! Gahd, we hope so. Michael Webster is back with an aural attack that’s even more visceral and in-your-face than anything found on the last BAIT outing in 2017 (Or the singles that followed, which we’ve reviewed, since). And if “DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA” is a sign of what’s to come on their upcoming new full-length (Sea Change, out April 1st on Cool Thing Records), then the whole of the music world are in for quite the sonic treat.

22 in ’22: Rock And Roll Fables’ Guide To What To Get An Earful Of In The New Year

11 January 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

I don’t why I thought it’d be a good idea to do both an end of the year list and preview list reflecting the year they’re happening in….but here we are. Our list of twenty one albums and change has already posted (Which you can read here) so now it’s time to close the book on 2021 and look to the future with 22 albums we think will make this year sound even better than the last…and change.
