WILDSTREET are the Kings of New York City Rock ‘N’ Roll

WILDSTREET has released their official music video for their single “Tennessee Cocaine.” The single was released on all major digital and streaming platforms August 23rd.

“Tennessee Cocaine’s the greatest feeling on the greatest night of your life. It’s like a speed ball laced w/adrenaline & cut w/ ecstasy. It’s hedonistic, instinctual, sexual like the gun burning ink in your veins. Tennessee Cocaine represents an addiction.. a addiction of humanity shall I say… to be free, to be an individual, & to live on our own terms. It’s about being the superstar or rockstar, at the best party.. on the best night of your life…” says Eric Jayk.

They (Dorothy) found the most awesome opening band, WILDSTREET, who warmed up the crowd in the best possible way. Exceeding beyond expectations, with remnants of Motley Crue in the best of nostalgic ways that rekindled my love of ‘Too Young To Fall In Love’, but in a more intense way that sweeps the rug under your feet way. Each band member brings their unique personality, you’ll never know at what point you’ll get surprised. At one point they even played on their guitars simultaneously onstage while the crowd yelled and applauded in amazement.”– Pancakes & Whiskey
