With over 30 years of experience and 11 studio LPs under their belts, the BoDeans don’t have much to do as far as establishing credibility goes. The Waukesha, Wisconsin rock group has built a strong reputation for their rugged work ethic and their love of American roots rock. Both of those things hold true for their soon-to-be-released 12th album, I Can’t Stop, which reaffirms the group’s commitment to the craft — the title is no exaggeration.
Below you can stream the album cut “Slave”, a driving rocker driven by a primal, pounding pulse.
Lead vocalist and guitarist Kurt Neumann tells PopMatters, “After 30 years of playing rock & roll music, I realized there is no going back now. Touring down a million miles. A million power chords at midnight. It’s what I do. Who I am. The landscape has changed so much since the start of this band, it seems impossible to keep up with the latest trends. So, good times or bad, you got to roll with the punches and appreciate every single moment of it all.”
I Can’t Stop is out on 21 April via F&A Records.
