Howard Stern says rock is dead. We disagree.

In this January New Music episode of Rockers to Doctors, Nova Starwick and Dorian Prescott explore new releases from three modern bands keeping the spirit of 1980s melodic hard rock alive.

Whiteshake deliver a blues-driven homage that feels like a lost Whitesnake deep cut. Temple Balls fuse European precision with arena-ready hooks and cyberpunk flair. Wycked Angel brings full-commitment glam energy with songs built for the stage and the long haul.

This episode is about intention. Dynamics. Melody. And why guitar-forward rock still works when bands stop chasing trends and start committing to the sound.

Listen closely. Check the links. And if one of these songs makes you swear you owned it on cassette, let us know.

December delivers one of the busiest rock news cycles of the year.

Journey reaches a new generation on The Voice. Guns N' Roses release two long-awaited tracks. Megadeth begins their final album and farewell tour era. Geoff Tate confirms Operation Mindcrime III is coming. Triumph announces a major reunion tour. David Lee Roth returns to the stage. Pink Floyd finally unveils an official video for "Wish You Were Here."

Nova and Dorian cut through hype, nostalgia, and controversy to examine what these moments actually mean for rock music today.

Rock news. Data thinking. Loud opinions.

Nova and Dorian take on the holidays independently, each presenting their own Top 5 Rock Christmas Songs with very different philosophies.

Nova focuses on emotion, nostalgia, and rock history.
Dorian applies strict criteria, structure, and analysis to decide what actually makes a Christmas rock song work.

Two lists. Two approaches. One holiday debate.

Listen to both and let us know whose list you liked better, or what songs we missed.

Rockers to Doctors treats rock history with PhD-level precision and just enough holiday chaos.
