Written by Geoff Gill and Clint Wade in 1979, “Heartbreaker” was originally released on Pat Benatar’s album In the Heat of the Night, proving to be a huge success for the singer and a song that became a staple of her live shows. Though it was never acknowledged by the songwriters, the lyrics to “Heartbreaker” are oddly similar to the Crystals song of the same name with “Heartbreaker, dream-maker, love-taker” being almost the same as the Crystals’ lyrics “Heartbreaker, hip shaker, troublemaker.” The song would peak at number 23 on the charts, helping to launch Benatar to the top of the Pop-Rock world.
Many rock bands like to talk about their compassion for a cause, whether it be poverty, global warming or war, but few really put their money where their mouths are as did Alt-Rockers Cake when the recorded their latest release, 2011’s Showroom Of Compassion. Completely refitting their recording studio with solar panels, the band recorded the entire album with solar power, a testament to their commitment to using and promoting alternative energies. When Cake gets behind an idea and a project, they definitely follow through.
It’s not easy growing up with a parent who is a famous name in their chosen field, especially if one decides to pursue a career in the same vein as their well-known mother or father. Often times it is hard, or even impossible, for one to step out from their parent’s shadows and make a name for themselves, no matter what career path they choose to pursue. While this is the case with many musicians, guitarist Marcel Powell is proving that one can carry on their parent’s legacy, while at the same time creating an entirely separate, and highly successful, career in their own right.
Often times it is a mixture of a great song and a little media controversy that propels a band to international stardom, and that’s exactly what happened with alt-rockers Pearl Jam and their 1992 smash hit single and video “Jeremy.” Featuring a unique, 12-string bass for both the intro and the song’s ending sequence, “Jeremy” is one of the band’s strongest songs, one that remains in the public’s ears 20 years later. Though the song was a big hit, the lyrical content, and graphic video, were criticized by some because it talked about a young boy named Jeremy killing himself in front of his classmates, which was based on a true story. While some were upset over the video, it won video of the year and stood out as one of the best music videos of the post-Metal era.

The distinct vocals of legendary singer, Eric Burdon, still resonate and captivate us nearly fifty years since The Animals made their way to America as part of the now heralded British Invasion. There was something deeply organic about the music that Eric and the rest of The Animals played, a gritty earthiness that had a working class feel to it.
