(WATCH) Jersey Rock Video of the Week: The Hungry & Dangerous “Young At Heart”

Author Jersey Rock

Rocking Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck on August 19!

The Hungry & Dangerous is back with a brand new single! “Young At Heart” is available now on all streaming platforms.  Check out your options HERE.  The track is inspired by the 1980’s vampire classic “The Lost Boys.”  Jordan Taylor Moed got the idea one night after watching the film.  He said:

“It just took me back to when I lived on the Jersey Shore and all the crazy antics my friends/bandmates and I would do. From the late nights, to the parties and to all the memories made, It just took me back to those moments/memories and I just started putting pen to paper. “

Moed now resides in Nashville but he has not forgotten New Jersey.  In fact, he has regular contact with the Garden State because his bandmates still live here.  Moed works remotely with drummer Matt Lewis to craft The Hungry & Dangerous sound.  It is through that relationship that the new single came into existence.  Moed said:

“Right before the band and I went on tour last summer, I spent most of June and July doing songwriter rounds in Nashville. During this time, I began to workshop this song to see what kind of reaction it would get, and if it was even worth pursuing. Every time I played this song live, it was always the song that got the biggest reaction and just knew we had something really cool here. When I brought it to the band, I remember Matt coming to me with great excitement and just saying how he could hear the evolution of the band in this song, and that got me super excited. “
While the lyrics are inspired by Jersey shore memories and the song in general takes many cues from “The Lost Boys,” the music was greatly inspired by John Parr.  Moed said:
“During this time, I really got into John Parr’s discography and it really inspired me musically to aim for this hard rock/pop style for this single, which is a cool nod to our debut album.  We hope our fans enjoy this single as much as we enjoyed making it.”
The new track can immediately be enjoyed by checking out it’s accompanying music video below.  It can also be heard live on August 19 when The Hungry & Dangerous rocks Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck.   It’s a homecoming stop on their “Young at Heart” tour.  The band will be joined by  Canamara and Violent in Black as well as some new friends in Conquer at Will.   Moed said:
“We are excited to be given the opportunity to be in NJ again for a show. New Jersey always delivers for us! “

The Best Wings Near WRAT Radio Can Be Found At These Local Places In Belmar N.J.

I work with a group of wing loving maniacs. Atomic Rob, who works in Promotions, Afternoon Drive Guy, “The Real Deal” Jimmy Steal, Morning RAT, Carl Craft, and Gotts, who usually eats his wings out of a dumpster behind Bar Anticipation after consuming the bar’s entire supply of Miller Lite.

We all have our favorite wing places on the Shore, which you can read about right here.

If for some reason we couldn’t get to our favorite places outside of Belmar while working the 9 to 5 slave drive, we have local favorites that are within walking distance of The RAT.

Now I don’t get to leave the building during the normal time most people eat lunch because I am on the air from 10am to 3pm.

However, my colleagues, Jimmy, Carl, Rob, Snackie Jackie, our promo Goddess, Kylie, Connor, and other assorted members of the RAT Pack are free to leave the building whenever they decide it’s time for lunch.

Occasionally one of them will ask me if I want anything. I rarely eat lunch unless I’m starving, or they are going to a place in the area that I love.

Wings are hard for me to eat on the air. They are messy and I’d wind up having to engineer my radio show with sticky saucy fingers. I don’t think my colleagues or our engineer, Bill would be too happy about that.

I can always wait until I get off the air at 3 pm to grab some mighty fine chicken wings at several places in the Belmar area.

I know for a fact there are nearly a dozen places within walking distance of the RAT that I’d gladly walk into and order a delicious plate of wings.

I’m going to cover the Top 8. Let’s make our way through the Belmar- Lake Como neighborhood, and get us some wings.
