Johnny Maraca & The Marockers - "Hot Boy"

Besides having my favorite band name in recent memory, Johnny Maraca & The Marockers are a kick ass band. Their latest single, "Hot Boy," perfectly captures vintage rock and roll and garage rock with a sneering punk and glam attitude. It's two minutes and ten seconds of pure rock based joy, taking cues from the vintage sounds of ? and The Mysterians and The Archies along with New York Dolls. No one would ever call "Hot Boy" a pop song, but there are pop hooks aplenty in the song. Sometimes you just need a killer rock song about dancing, and that's exactly what Johnny Maraca & The Marockers provide here.

On the YouTube page for the video, Johnny Maraca says:

"The world can be a cruel dark place that tries to tear us apart and pit us against eachother in the neo-capitalist hellhole that is life. In times like this we must come together and embrace eachother with the oldest human language, the language of dance baby."
