Great show on rock & rock history

Discovered The Hook Rocks via another great podcast Shout it out Loudcast as cohost Zeus was a guest on the Whitesnake legacy episode and I am indeed hooked! Whitesnake was my first concert on 1990 Slip of the Tongue tour. 1987 was my introduction to Whitesnake and have dabbled with their history but this episode taught me a lot of things I didn’t know and some songs I need to check out. Going back to listen to older episodes and loving it! You got yourself a new listener! 🤘🏻

A Rock Podcast You Need To Know!

I have been a loyal listener to Jay Scott’s The Hook Rocks podcast almost since the beginning. It is an excellent podcast that keeps me updated on new rock music, legacy rock and hard rock artists, and the current issues facing the rock industry. Jay always has excellent guests and the New Music Spotlight has introduced me to so many emerging rock artists. His passion for the music is infectious and he produces so much content that every serious rock fan will love. Check it out! I’m @JTNCRocks on Twitter.
