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....
Either that or just piss-poor videography skills.
Perhaps both.
Period end of discussion.
Rock music will never die period. This goes out to any music in general. We live in a new age and it's harder to make music these days. Almost every idea has been used already, you can download pretty much everything for free, so that's why we haven't seen any "legends" recently. A lot of what is amazing right now is not even hitting the top 200. Support music by buying it and going to concerts.
Artists can make money when you scrobble their tracks on internet radio. The best thing you can do is tell a friend about the artist. Word of mouth is important.
Just went to their concert , Talk about your LOUD ROCK N ROLL...
Foos have been making good music consistently from the band's conception, heavy rhythm section and from drumless, acoustics, down to hard heavy rock.
90% of us know who they are, they are the rock band that gets called to award shows, they are the one with the frontman most music fans know by name.
