R-Train Dropped Their Hottest New Single “Rock On”

On August 13, 2021, The R Train dropped their newest single, “Rock On.” This is probably one of their catchiest songs yet, with infectious bass and percussion rhythms, as well as lead singer Jeffrey Black’s keynote vocals. The intro alone sets the scene for a rock hit with killer vibes, leading into a playful song about staying positive and keep moving on. Their previous release, “Timeline,” was robust and punchy, but “Rock On” takes their rock sound to a whole new level with even bigger riffs, and a concert stadium surround sound. 

“Rock On” sounds like what one would expect a Rock and Roll song to sound like. It has a beat that makes you want to bob your head and a guitar that urges you to feel the music. The chorus hook of “rock on” is exactly what we look for in rock because you can easily sing along to it. It’s a harkening to Van Halen and Pink Floyd with the unique R Train sound we have come to recognize and love. It’s simple and a return to classic rock, which is exactly what makes the song so special. It’s familiar and comforting and we just want to listen on repeat.

The band is an all American rock band, formed in early 2019. Vocalist guitarist Jeffrey Black, drummer Mike Annese, and bassist Denny Lee came up with the name when travelling on the New York Subway, the R Train. They were on their way to master some tracks at the legendary “Record Plant”, which is home to some of the greatest recordings of all time from the likes of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Aerosmith. As they were on the subway they thought “we are in the greatest city in the world, travelling on the ride of a lifetime.” And so, the name was born. 

“Rock On” is the second single release this summer from their 11 song album “Full Throttle.”
