I still have my original copy of ANDREW W.K.'s landmark album, I GET WET, so it's hard to believe that it's been a decade since it was first released. To think of how much has happened in that time is astounding, but alas, time has flown. On August 28, Century Media will release the 10th Anniversary Edition of that...

Updated: The Official Press Release follows the post.It's pretty appropriate that the first ''new'' post here on The Rock Father™'s own site relates to one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. While their ''big announcement'' scheduled for 1pm CST is running late, I can confirm that METALLICA will headline their own ORION MUSIC + MORE Festival on...

It's an election year, and that means the time is right for some politically-charged music to provide a soundtrack for the madness. Born from that alignment is PROPHETS OF RAGE, the recent collaboration between members of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, PUBLIC ENEMY and CYPRESS HILL.

It took more than 50 years, but Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) has a Billboard chart-topping hit and TikTok helped make it happen.
In recent months, CCR founder John Fogerty has established a growing presence on the video-sharing platform where his performances of classic hits have directly corresponded to growth on the digital sales and streaming charts. The band's 1971 hit,...
