Stellar Revival thinks of their music as "an homage to people who are different and really stand out ... someone who perseveres and goes against the grain." And in an age of endless revision and transient "new genres" -- dubstep, post-dubstep, chillwave, whatevercore, jazzstep, slip hop -- there's no better way to stand out and persevere than to to harness a timeless tradition like rock and roll and make it your own.
Rock and roll, defined by '50s and '60s legends like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, is easily as rich and diverse as any contemporary movement, but maintains a strong tradition in songwriting, attitude, and approach. For Stellar Revival, the band that best encompasses the idea of rock and roll today is Foo Fighters, lead by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Foo Fighters' Grammy-winning riffs have been carrying the torch for 18 years, but they can't do it on their own. Stellar Revival is up for the challenge.
Stellar Revival's first single, "The Crazy Ones," is about "people who don't take 'no' for an answer." Frontman Rino Cerbone says, "To me, those are the crazy ones. I think that's a force to be reckoned with and we need more of them." In a new press kit, the band discusses their approach to rock, the video for "Crazy Ones," a couple of other songs off their upcoming album, and most importantly, the tradition of rock and roll. Who do you think is carrying the torch today?

+6Wasting Light was made in a garage on analog tape, debuted at #1 in 11 countries, and won 4 Grammys. That's no easy feat....
I never heard of the rest. except for black eyed peas , they suck now. Or maybe they always did, one hit wonder. None of the newer bands will ever be worthy of carrying the torch from the past rock n roll bands. And definately not the way too much over rated band U2 they suck to. They are just way to over rated for my liking, most people just have no taste in music anymore. Another crappy band is Nickleback. yuck.
Also anyone who says LP carries the torch for Rock Music .....needs to wake up.
Back in the 60s you had the best artists in Rock. BEATLES DOORS THE WHO THE BYRDS ROLLING STONES just to name a few. Zeppelin is and always will be one of the best, if not thee best
