Here we are with another installment of The Random Rock N’ More, the column where the Music for Grownups section takes a place on the homepage. Be warned, many of these artists cannot be considered ‘family-friendly,’ but this is their time. As part of a balanced musical diet, there’s a little of everything here from mainstream rock to pop to pop punk to black metal, hip-hop, indie rock, and more. This is all stuff that has landed in The Rock Father’s inbox over the past few days, and I want to cover as much of it as possible. Like what you see? Links are provided to learn more. Let’s go…
