Buddy Holly died in a small plane crash along with rock ‘n’ roll pioneers, Ritchie Valens and J.P “The Big Bopper” Richardson. It was what Don McLean famously declared “The Day The Music Died.” So then, why is he walking around among the living, singing the blazes out of 1950′s rock ‘n’ roll?

The answer is Innonvative Leisure‘s Nick Waterhouse. The Holly look-a-like has managed to package the boogie-woogie piano and the purest rhythm and blues r(...) Read More about Nick Waterhouse: Some Place (85 words)

If anything, Johnny Thunder knew how to make you feel alive, and that’s just what this fuzzy 60′s mod song does. “I’m Alive” is a crunchy, underrated classic with garage band style and the vocal bravery of Mr. Thunder, a former lead singer of the Drifters.

The last decade has been curiously absent of a few things – loud guitars, slamming drums, and powerful frontmen. These three things are, by and large, key elements in defining the sound of “rock n’ roll.” So, by this logic, it would be safe to say that rock n’ roll has been notably absent for the majority of the past decade.

After our last feature on Hedi Slimane’s campaign using Kate Moss, I asked myself, what is up my favorite Moss. Latest news on Kate is that she has yet another engagement planned to yet another rocker. Kate Moss and Jamie Hince of the Kills are said to marry in September of this year. Hince seems to have a lot in common with her previous rocker beau Pete Doherty but I hope its not as bad as the infamously destructive relationship Kate and Pete shared. See more photos here.
