Bobby Quick and the Speeds of Sound - It's Our Night
Rock
OH, US



Overall Impression: Ohio-based indie rockers Bobby Quick and the Speeds of Sound blend gritty blues-based riffs with melodic pop sensibilities, on their release of "It's Our Night." This high energy, uptempo track features a twin guitar attack and a driving four-to-the-floor drumbeat alongside a boogie-woogie bass line and vintage keyboard sounds, bolstered by a vibrant horn section that includes a screaming alto saxophone solo. Quick’s vocal swagger builds like a Friday afternoon pressure cooker, converting five days of workplace monotony into pure, unadulterated rock-and-roll release while group backing vocals really drive the hook home. Rock fans of all ages will enjoy the soulful sound and blue-collar spirit of Bobby Quick's "It's Our Night", available now for streaming on all major music platforms.

Strongest Point(s): Outstanding production and a great sounding mix, really sounds fantastic at high volumes. Good density without sacrificing clarity, solid tonal balance. Nice crunchy guitar tones. Killer groove, nice boogie bounce between the bass and drums. Tremendous energy straight from the top, great build-up until the first chorus hits. Absolutely love the horns on this track, they really elevate the sound here and cast a wide shadow. Sax solo jumps right off the page. Terrific vocal performance, full of indie rock swagger and jubilation as the lyrics convey a straightforward idea with a succinct message. The backing vox do a wonderful job here as well in a repetitive fashion, will go a long way towards listener engagement. All in all, this is an incredibly strong track and a great weekend anthem that nearly any rock fan should be able to enjoy, thanks to a classic, blues-based sound. Brilliant work, by everyone involved!.

Center Stage Artist - Perico Hernandez

Image
Jose Caridad Hernandez , better known as “Perico”, is a sonero/percussionist/composer/songwriter who creates “organic  cuban music.” Born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Perico is the second to the youngest of twelve siblings and the only one who became a musician. Perico began his musical training as a young boy in Havana.  He watched the street rumberos creating amazing rhythms on the “tumbadoras” (congas), and after watching Patato Valdez play congas on a TV show, Perico decided that’s what he wanted to do. Perico gradually learned from the “rumberos” and at age 14 became the conguero for a neighborhood group, Conjunto Monte Carlo. He was eventually recruited to play with the popular Conjunto Casino. Regarding his nickname Perico, he tells the story that as a kid he walked around the neighborhood with an elderly man called “Perico.” Pretty soon the neighbors started saying “Here come Perico y Periquito.” Perico has said “Maybe the name was meant to be because I’m now a sonero and...

More On PopScore - How It Works

Image
After two weeks of PopScore we're thrilled with how much interest it has generated. We have awarded hundreds of thousand of Play Credits and have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. There have also been a fair number of questions. Three recurring questions that we will try and answer below are: - How is the PopScore calculated? - What’s a good PopScore? - How can I improve my PopScore? So here's the lowdown: How is the PopSc ore calculated? As some of you probably know, each time we play your song to one of Jango's 7 Million listeners we ask them to rate your song. We do this through the use of a pop up window (the Make’m or Break ‘em overlay). When listening to your song the listener can give a thumbs up, thumbs down, become your fan, leave a comment and more. We enter all these listener reactions into a formula to determine which songs, and therefore which bands, are most popular with our listeners. In simple terms the PopScore is a ratio computed by total ...

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool

Image
Johnny Void and The Others - What I Say Is Cool Metal, Punk, Hardcore Florida, United States Overall Impression: "What I Say is Cool" is an exciting release from the vault of Florida based punk rockers, Johnny Void and The Others. With the lineup of Johnny Void (guitar/vox), Michael Blackford (bass), and Jason Burrows (drums), the band recorded this track in January 1996 at L N G Studios in Merrit Island, FL. This track wastes no time in getting down to business, immediately hitting the listener with the full force of distorted guitar, frenetic drumming and a screaming, guttural vocal delivery through the verse, before landing on the more melodic titular hook of "What I say is cool." A quick modulation serves as a bridge, before returning to the main riff and finishing out this brief but wild ride. Punk rock aficionados should be on the lookout for not one, but two musical anthologies from Johnny Void and The Others, released on Rakka Rakka R...
