Adam RC Feels Numb from “Novocaine”

By Jaci Jedrych

Inspired by 90s alternative rock, indie artist Adam RC’s latest release “Novocaine” is raw and powerful.

A true DIY artist, Adam Richard Connito does it all: writing, performing, mixing, mastering, engineering, and creating visuals all from his spare bedroom in Boston, Massachusetts. His music “blends boom bap drum programming with pop guitar rhythm, rock-n-roll piano with cinematic strings”, creating a musical blend that is smooth yet creative.

“But it’s all a means to an end: Connito is a songwriter and storyteller at heart.” ‘Novocaine’ uses lyrical repetition to express “pandemic-era monotony and numbness as a coping mechanism”. The cinematic strings make the track stand out amidst the live and programmed instruments.

Fans of Jane’s Addiction, The Cranberries, or Third Eye Blind should check out this track. Find this and more great music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
