NEW ROCK CITY

New album ‘RADIO 85’ out now⚡️

‘Recalling the chaos of punk-era CBGBs, New Rock City has carved out a distinct sound in the underground of New York City since forming in 2012. They mix an eclectic blend of new wave, punk rock, pop, and arena rock, effortlessly moving from the raw edge of rock ’n’ roll to smooth, dream-like pop melodies. Their tracks often erupt into chaotic, psychedelic breakdowns, laced with fierce guitar riffs from Kick and anchored by the solid rhythm section of Tim Kuhl and Steve Conroy. Rossano’s versatile vocals add a touch of euphoria, reminiscent of Pretenders meets Joan Jett, with shades of Billy Idol, No Doubt, and Divinyls. NRC rolls forward with relentless energy, pushing through with their bold, melodic guitar riffs that rise to a feverish peak. It’s rock with heart and hard edges, much like New York City itself. Radio 85, the full-length album by New Rock City, earnestly recalls the punk glory of 80s New York.’ -Alice Teeple
