Rock music, a genre with the ability to borrow from all other styles to create something of its own. It could be debated that the roots of Rock can be found in the 1950s thanks to the emergence of a new sector of society. With the hangover from the Second World War beginning to fade a new generation was formed. Movies like ‘Blackboard Jungle’, ‘The Wild Ones’, ‘Giant’, and ‘Rock Around the Clock’ were released in America. Across the Atlantic the ‘Angry Young Man’ was prominent in films such as ‘Look Back in Anger’ and ‘Saturday Night Sunday Morning’. First the first time youth had a voice, and with that voice came its own soundtrack.

White Beetle’s Rock catalogue features pieces with this pedigree and subsequent incarnations in mind. Nineteen seventies and early 1980s pub rock sounds with tight electric guitars in the Big Country, XTC and Boomtown Rats vein sit side by side crossover pieces jumping from Rock to Jazz funk littered with occasional rap vocals. Aggressive Techno synthesizer lines, Rock guitar and Electro sound effects tracks share the media highlight with Country Rock pieces harking back to classic Seventies 70's guitar and drum sounds. Names like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Country Joe and the Fish, Canned heat, The Eagles and Little Feat come to mind. Jimmy Page and Angus Young inspired classic Heavy Rock instrumentals. Distorted guitars, electric bass guitars, Hammond organs, electric pianos, strings, brass, anything goes. Elvis, Chuck Berry, Black Sabbath, Saxon, Metallica. The Sex Pistols, The Stooges, The Damned, The Strokes and Kings of Leon; now that’s Rock.
