2024 marks 40 years since the inception of The Black Crowes. The Robinson Brothers are claiming this momentous year as their own. Following decades marked by sex, drugs, fights, breakups, and divorce, they are "leaving their BS behind." The new track will serve as a salute to their past and a celebration of the present and future.

Since The Black Crowes reunited in 2019, they've made a triumphant return to form with over 150 shows spanning 20 countries worldwide. Upon their return from the road, they knew they needed something new to show for their lost time. The Robinson Brothers and longtime bassist Sven Pipien headed to the studio with producer Jay Joyce in early 2023 and the experiences of years past transcribed themself through the music as the band found their way back to their roots.

The Black Keys New Single 'Beautiful People (Stay High)'

The Black Keys are going to kick off the new year with their new single “Beautiful People (Stay High)”.  It's written by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney with longtime friends Dan “The Automator” Nakamura and Beck. The celebratory, joyful “Beautiful People (Stay High)” features collaborations between the band and various additional friends and colleagues, including Noel Gallagher, Greg Kurstin, and others.

Stay Up Late With BamBam

At 12 a.m. on 1/12, Jacky will spin these new tracks in a celebration of this new year and new music.

20 Times Multiple Classic Albums Came Out On The Same Day

A number of days in rock history were marked by the release of classic albums that came out on the same day.

Examples of this span a number of decades. In the 1960s, The Beatles were involved in two of these instances with The Kinks and David Bowie. The 1970s saw The Rolling Stones release an album on the same day as the Ramones said "Gabba Gabba Hey!" to the world. In the 1980s, heavy metal icons Judas Priest released a classic album on the same day Iron Maiden dropped their debut. As for the 1990s, you'll be shocked to learn just how many times classic LPs were released on the same day. By "classic LPs," we mean some of the great albums of all time.
