Classic Traffic Announce New Album Real Music: Hear “My Rage”

Classic Traffic is a New Jersey DIY power pop trio that has quickly amassed a considerable discography. Formed in 2022, the band has released three full-length albums and a collaborative covers EP. Their upcoming fourth album, titled 'Real Music,' is set to drop on October 9 via Same View.

The trio's sound is a high-energy take on classic 70s power pop, featuring big riffs, catchy hooks, and harmonies. Drummer Dante Fotino writes all the lyrics, which singer/guitarist Andy Altadonna delivers in a distinctive style. The band also includes a bassist going by the name of Dogmeat, who provides press release quotes and seems particularly enthusiastic about their music. Dogmeat quips, "So much shit is just bullshit. Real music blows your dick back."

To promote their new album, Classic Traffic has released a lo-res music video for the track "My Rage," the opening song on 'Real Music.' Singer Nick Heitman and producer Beven Barnhart directed the video. The song is an explosive, upbeat rocker that matches the energetic spirit of the album. The band's tracklist for 'Real Music' includes "My Rage," "There With You," "Wanna Wish," "Ballad Of The Storm Shelter," "Ghost's Host," "It Leaves Your Mind," "Running Joke," and "Sorry Songs."

The band will be touring in support of their new album, starting on October 9 in Long Branch, NJ at The Pop Club, followed by performances in Philadelphia, VA, Alexandria, VA, Long Island, NY, and Baltimore, MD. 'Real Music' is available for pre-order now.
