Hear & Now

Billy Squier

Massive drums and neon-lit guitar hooks. A late-eighties rock record that balances blue-collar grit with polished stadium-sized ambition.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'driving home from a long shift' record with drums that hit like a sledgehammer.

A high-octane blend of working-class grit and polished late-night swagger.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive drum entry on The Work Song that mirrors the rhythmic grind of a factory floor.
The transition from the eerie, synth-laden verses of (I Put a) Spell on You into its high-voltage chorus.
The earnest, soaring vocal delivery on Your Love Is My Life that leans into power-ballad territory without losing its rock edge.
