In my search for new music for RadiJohan I’m sometimes amazed at how hard it is to find good music in keeping with, what I would consider the golden age of music from, say, 1960 – 1990. Considering how much uhm ……ah ….err ….. well honestly, utter crap gets promoted and played on radio (and TV), there is a lot of decent music that “flies under the radar” because it does not get much, if any, promotion or airplay. The music is there but finding it isn’t easy. I like to think we feature a fair amount of examples. After all, the carefully selected new music on\u00a0RadiJohan<\/em>\u00a0does generally not reflect what\u2019s big on the charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Bite The Bullet” released their new album “Rocky Road<\/em>” back in April but, even though I’m continually searching for new music, I didn’t stumble across it until recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bite The Bullet formed in 1986. They released a widely acclaimed (at the time) self-titled debut album in 1989, before going into hiatus for about thirty years after their record company folded, and a tour supporting “ELO” fell through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago the band reformed after “Rock Candy Records” re-issued the debut album. Since then they released two new albums, “Black and White<\/em>” in 2021 and “End of the Line<\/em>” in 2022. Whereas some speculated that the title “End of the Line<\/em>” suggested a second death, we now we have a third, “Rocky Road<\/em>.” The band’s music has been described as melodic rock in the genre of Mr. Mister, Toto, Foreigner and Asia, with British rock guitar overtones. The single “Rock Road<\/em>” has perhaps more of a Doobie Brothers feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a while to find it, but Bite The Bullet’s single “Rock Road<\/em>” is new this week on RadiJohan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
