Colossal Street Jam Releases New Single "No Way to Live"

New Jersey rock band Colossal Street Jam has released their single, "No Way to Live," with Independent, taste-maker label, Fretbar Records. With soaring vocals from front-man Gene Potts, Hammond organ by Eric Safka, melodic guitar in the talented hands of Sal Marra, and a rhythmic foundation from Dave Halpern, this new release has a music video slated for release in late November, followed by the full album in 2024.

"No Way to Live", the actual song , started out about the daily struggles in life we all go thru. The song ended up being the start of an album and songs that touch on so many social and emotional issues during a rough time for everyone in the world. We never set out to make a concept album, but it definitely has that feel when you go from song to song," said Gene Potts.

"We are very excited to have signed with Fretbar Records and Jimmy Warren Entertainment Group. The band will hit the road to support "No Way to Live" throughout 2024 and our single will be on radio worldwide starting this week." -- Colossal Street Jam

The single is available for purchase online.

“'No Way to Live' reminds me of what great rock n roll was in the 70’s. We believe fans are going to dive in and fall in love with Colossal Street Jam.” - Jimmy Warren (President, Fretbar Records)

It’s once been said that all roads lead to home… That’s precisely where this long-time band of brothers & creative soulmates found themselves, when their well-traveled musical roads converged.

It was at this poignant juncture that Colossal Street Jam was born.

One may define their electrifying synergy as the cosmic melding & explosive concoction of abstract minds, unique talent, inherent soul, and tireless passion for their beloved craft.

Having a deep & mutual admiration for one another, as well as having tremendous respect for their many, and diverse collective influences, who helped shape their gritty, melodic, psychedelically tinged hard rock stylings, each member truly brings their own individuality, and nuance to the mix.

An eclectic potpourri for the senses, Colossal Street Jam ultimately, and seamlessly fuse their independent ideas to deliver a singular vision & signature sound that can easily be coined as “New Classic Rock” for the ages.

With their roots firmly planted and their musical heritage tightly in place, the band has long been an integral part the legendary Asbury Park, NJ music scene.

Always proud to honor these roots, and the place that gave them their start, Colossal Street Jam forever carries with them that feeling of tradition, and heart that has endeared them to growing audiences both nationally and internationally.
