How much do you miss rock music live? Well, let's be honest...we do, a lot! However today, Dictator Ship are offering us something to at least soothe a bit our thirst: they just premiered a video - fittingly rendered in a retro-styled fashion that perfectly matches their sound - of their debut album "Your Favorites" performed in full, that's right, the whole set recorded just like a good old school concert, just to a...very socially safe crowd. And while we wait for the time when it will be possible to experience rock'n'roll in person again, this surely makes for an excellent substitute and still delivers, flawlessly by the way, a truly enjoyable set of classic rock, in all its highly energetic, intense essence, properly filled with catchy grooves, captivating riffs and irresistible solos.
