There s a lot to be happy about if you re a rock fan in 2021. Concerts are coming back, but more importantly we re getting a wealth of new music bands can play when they hit those stages. In this feature, we re keeping a running tally of the Best Rock Songs that 2021 has to offer and it s been quite an impressive start to the year so far.
With many acts either holding their records last or using the pandemic downtime to work up new albums, it s led to a bumper crop of fresh releases and allowed for more innovation for some acts suddenly not tied to a schedule.
Rising rock troupe Dirty Honey have officially announced their debut album, after lighting a fire with their six-song 2019 self-titled EP. The album, also titled
Dirty Honey, will come out on April 23 and the band has just released a music video for the new song, California Dreamin .
This latest single from the four-piece group harkens back to an era where Aersomith, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Who and The Rolling Stones ruled the roost, alongside flashes of grunge. This isn t just throwback for the sake of it though, as Dirty Honey s sound feels entirely authentic, driven by the band s passion for scorching blues licks and hip-grinding rhythms.
