Before rock ‘n’ roll got strangled by its younger, more awkward sibling—rock music—it had something real, something electric, a pulse that it’s bombastic brother just can’t replicate. Rock music often feels like a brooding wall of sound, churned out by serious guys in oversized shorts and haircuts often bordering on the complicated. But rock ‘n’ roll? That’s a whole other beast. It’s got swagger, groove, and a certain kind of grace. It knows when to whisper, when to roar, and exactly when to put its foot on the monitor and go for it. Rock music might make its presence felt, but rock’ n’ roll is sexy. And what we are dealing with here, is definitely the latter.
Take AC/DC, for example. They weren’t metal, hard rock, or any of those numerous sub-genres that the scene seems to love. They were a straight-up rock ‘n’ roll band, they just happened to also be loud, fast, and unapologetically in-your-face. If that’s hard for you to wrap your head around, then you need to give “Social Genocide” by ALGORERHYTHM a spin because it comes from exactly the same place. No, scratch that—put it on repeat until you really feel it. These guys get it.
“Social Genocide” doesn’t just hit hard—it swings. It’s got that elusive quality most rock bands seem to lose in their quest to out-loud or out-heavy each other. This track grooves, struts, and swaggers like it’s got something to prove—and spoiler alert: it delivers. It’s big, it’s bold, and yes, it rocks. But it also rolls, and that’s what makes all the difference.
There is undoubtedly a classic rock heart beating at the core of the song, but ALGORERHYTHM knows how to mix that established sound with melody, muscle, and grit in ways that have rarely been done this well before, at least not for a long time. They don’t merely thrash and smash their way through the song, as lesser bands might —they build it, giving it poise, power, and, most importantly, soul.
This isn’t just another rock band doing the same old thing, far from it. This is rock ‘n’ roll embued with all the fire and finesse it deserves. They kick ass and roll with the best of them. And that’s what it’s all about.
