WICKED BEARS Roll the Dice with “Lucky”

The Salt Lake City-based pop punk trio, WICKED BEARS, brings all the early 2000’s Warped Tour nostalgia flooding back with their latest single “Lucky”. Accompanied by a new monochrome music video, it bursts at the seams with a hopeless optimism fueled by bombastic power chords and yowling vocals.

If you take the emotional push of post-Enema of State Blink-182 and combine it with bouts of Ska guitar, you’d likely end up somewhere near this song’s general feel. Meanwhile, the music video is one big party with band playing the song live in a local venue with tons of friends (and even a toy skeleton) dancing enthusiastically in the audience.

The band says, “If you’ve ever dedicated $20 to a claw machine and gone home empty-handed, this song is for you. If you’ve ever felt like, no matter what road you take, there’s gonna be a dead end at the end of it, this song is for you. If you’ve ever been arrested while robbing a bank, this song is for you. Lucky is for the unluckiest of us, who are tired of explaining our despondency to those more lucky. Now you don’t have to explain! You can just send them this song. Do you feel lucky? If not, this song is for you.”

“Lucky” is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The accompanying music video is also available on YouTube. “Lucky” can be found on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify and YouTube.

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.”
