WJOE - Findlay's Home for Rock & Roll

09/23/2024

Earlier this year The Fods granted WJOE early access to unleash a couple of tracks on the airwaves from their forthcoming EP, "Don't ARgue". Now the entire album is finally complete and here! After 15 months of rebuilding tracks that originated from the 1990's the long journey has paid off as the finalized EP is excellent. An eclectic mix of hard rock, punk, metal & indie "Don't ARgue" is a rewarding bridge of the '90s and today. Catch The Fods on your Home for the Best New Rock...
W-J-O-EEEE!

WJOE is proud to add the blistering new track "One More Night" from heavy rockers' Generation Empire!

This one is special and you can catch it on your Home for the Best New Rock...W-J-O-EEEE!

The new single from hard rockers' Bad Actress hits the streets Friday but you can catch "From Afar" early on WJOE. Another great throwback track that has the feel of 1986 that we all can warm up to. An infectious tune that shifts tempo throughout as it reflects on the nerves you feel when first attracted to someone. So throw on your florescent bracelets, feather back your mullet and let's rock with Bad Actress on J-O-EEEEEE!

That classic progressive sound you know & love is alive and well with new bands like A Circus and their self titled debut album set for release on Oct. 11th!

Heads up REO fans...due to "irreconcilable differences" the band will cease touring as of Jan. 1st.

To our fans: Bruce has intended to be Back On the Road Again by now. If it were up to just him, he’d be back on tour… but it's not up to just him. The consensus opinion was that he had not recovered sufficiently to be able to perform at the level the fans have come to expect. Bruce respected that opinion and is grateful that Matt has been around to keep the Wagon rolling through the summer tour. Bruce never had any intention of retiring or walking away from the band, fans, and crew he has loved for almost 50 years.

For Kevin’s part, he too has never had any intention of leaving the band, and the fans and crew mean the world to him, as well.

Due to this complex situation, irreconcilable differences arose between Bruce and Kevin. So, it is with great sadness that we announce REO Speedwagon will cease touring effective January 1, 2025. Neal, Kevin, and Bruce thank their fans for all their years of loyal support and for giving back to the band such wonderful memories that will remain with each of them forever.

Linkin Park is BACK! The swell continues to build as the band recently unveiled their new lineup including Dead Sara lead vocalist, Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain. But how is the music you ask? The lead single "The Emptiness Machine" off their forthcoming album "From Zero" (set to drop Nov. 15th) is pure emotion set to a backdrop of rock and it's, well...amazing. An outpouring of hurt and inner struggle with an ultra catchy chorus and co-lead vocals...but it's Emily Armstrong's performance that will drop your jaw. Catch "The Emptiness Machine" on your Home for the Best New Rock...W-J-O-EEEE!
