NO EARPLUGS

We're listening

Gonzalez Smith Roll Up Solid Debut

By No Earplugs on October 17, 2023 • ( 2 Comments )

“She’s My Girl” is a gem of a tune and definitely the antithesis of a DBT song, a prototypical, straightforward power pop gem, reminiscent of The Beatles’ “From Me To You.”

Strangers In A Strange Land Take Action

By No Earplugs on October 2, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

The band masters a 60s feel but succeeds in a 21st century sound, wonderfully produced. They simultaneously straddle the 20th and 21st centuries with no smoke or mirrors to be found.

Strangers In A Strange Land Drop Sharp New Single

By No Earplugs on September 1, 2023 • ( 1 Comment )

The psychedelic popness on the single is evident and there are hooks aplenty. Make no mistake, this is no throwback sound, but a relevant 21st rock song.

The National Tour With Frankenstein

By No Earplugs on August 16, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

Berninger did acknowledge the band’s sadness as this was the final night touring with The Beths. He told fans, “We love The Beths and will miss touring with them.”

A Homecoming (of Sorts) for The Baseball Project

By No Earplugs on August 9, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

Intertwined with favorites from the first three albums were some ringers from the new release. The band has evolved in so many ways on Salami! and prove to be at their rocking best live on stage.

Brothers and Sisters Celebrated

By No Earplugs on July 28, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

No other band from that era created such a cross-cultural identity, and a successful one at that. The Allman Brothers’ sound resonated with a nation working through and healing from the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and a country in crisis.

John Fogerty Takes Victory Lap

By No Earplugs on July 26, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

So many of Fogerty’s songs have been permanently woven into the fabric of American culture. Even the casual music fan most likely knows a majority of these CCR/Fogerty tunes.

Tami Neilson is the King of Country Music

By No Earplugs on July 22, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

She began her career in the Neilson Family Band, was famously cradled by Roy Orbison, sang with Kitty Wells at 10, and opened for Johnny Cash at 18.

Little Feat Boogie into Atlanta

By No Earplugs on July 12, 2023 • ( Leave a comment )

The group moved through an eclectic and wonderful set of musical history, some of which helped to define the Southern Rock sound, a.k.a. bluesy country rock, if you will.

Dennis Davison’s New EP is Scary Good

By No Earplugs on June 30, 2023 • ( 1 Comment )

This new 5-song EP sees the singer evolving and perfecting his songwriting. Davison was clearly born late, as he embodies a sixties sound while creating relevant, 21st century vibes.
