Rock City Machine Company's self-titled debut album is a pure rock and roll blast from start to finish. The band, featuring Ryan Spencer Cook on lead vocals and guitar, Jeremy Asbrock on guitar, and Philip Shouse on bass, brings a fresh yet familiar sound with modern elements to the rock scene. These guys are no strangers to rock royalty—they've toured with both Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley from KISS, which definitely shows in their tight musicianship and stage presence. The album kicks off with the high-energy track "Can't Stop the Train," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its driving beat and catchy hooks. Each song delivers that classic rock vibe, with powerful riffs and infectious melodies that will have you rocking out in no time.


The standout tracks include "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" and "All Aboard the Rock Train," which showcases the band's impressive chops and Cook's dynamic vocal range. The songs are packed with gritty guitar solos, pounding drums, and anthemic choruses that are sure to get stuck in your head. The production, handled by Marti Frederiksen, adds a polished yet raw edge to the music, making it sound both modern and timeless.


These guys know how to put on a show, thanks to their experience with rock legends. Whether you're a long-time rock fan or just getting into the genre, this album is worth checking out for its pure, unadulterated rock and roll energy.
