Curtain Call Records artists Incognito Theory just released a video for their latest single "Anthem."  We've turned up this tune on Jersey Rock.  It's an upbeat, hard-rocking track that perfectly sums up what Incognito Theory is all about.  They bring the party and you and everyone you know is invited.  In that sense, the new single really is their anthem. The track was mixed and mastered by Mike Orland at Sonic Stomp Studios.  Speaking of the new song Dave Incognito said:

"Anthem is a song for the fans who love, live, and breathe music so it's a celebration for the fans.

Incognito Theory also loves, lives, and breathes music.  A hard-working, crowd pleasing group, they recently signed with Curtain Call Records in Nashville.  Curtain Call Records is distributed through The Orchard/Sony.  The label believes in ” hard work and developing one on one interaction with each and every fan.”  Learn more at curtaincallrecords.com.

We're confident Curtain Call Records is pleased with the way Incognito Theory interact with their fans.  That dynamic is on full display in the video for "Anthem." Produced by long-time collaborator Marc Petrick, this video is a full on party!   It was shot at Hudson Burgers and Beers in North Bergen.  Dave incognito said:

"It's Just another damn good time. Hanging with friends and family, always against the grain."

We love the development Incognito Theory has displayed over the years and are excited to see where they head next.  Incognito said:

"While we're back in the studio in December with Mike Orlando December 15th, we are in New Hampshire with Scotty Austin. December 16th. We're in frenchtown with Scotty Austin and then finishing the debut record for our label curtain call records. Sony music/ the orchard distribution to be released spring of 2024"

Thanksgiving And 7 Things You DON’T Want To See Or Hear

Hello Rat Rockers, Thanksgiving is knocking on the door this month.  Let me be the first to say how thankful I am to have you always rocking out at The Rat. Thanksgiving is the time we get together as family, friends and love ones come together. Basically, this holiday can drive us bonkers. I know a lot of us travel and have to sit in a bunch of traffic. Once we get to our destination, sometimes at the table we have to deal with some drama and hearing things we don't want to and furthermore wacky food . I decided to come up with a list of some of the issues and food that are bad and hopefully you agree.

 Thanksgiving In Gotts Past Years.

Gotts With His Brother

Gotts And His Brothers

I know my Thanksgiving has been a lot different over the years and growing up. My older brother got married and have their own family's, and travel. Formerly in years past though I know we had some crazy times and food on our table. I think one year we didn't have real turkey on the table. The fights would break out after a few drinks down in my aunt's basement. Next thing you know we are all gathering around the table with swollen eyes and fat lips.

The food would come out and lets just say it was not that good. So this year I have decided to come up with a list for you to try to help out. Consider this almost like a guideline and keep and eye out for the bad signs that might pop up. Not all all of my Thanksgiving were bad. I get to see my parents now and they come to the Jersey Shore and we go out to eat. Knowing we don't have to do dishes and clean up is really one thing I'm grateful for. I really do hope you have a wonderful and happy, healthy Thanksgiving this year.

Thank you for taking the time out to read this post. Don't forget we do have the Broadcast For The People. That is coming up this month and get all the information by clicking right HERE. Lets help each other out this year for our fellow New Jersey families. Much love,cheers and Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.- Gotts

1. NEVER BRING UP POLITICS

This rule will always never end well. Stay away from this topic and let's try to keep our political views to ourselves. You will see turkey's come back to life because you will see them fly across the room. This rule should go for inside bars and other parties as well, Very touchy subject.

2. CANNED CRANBERRY SAUCE

THIS STUFF IS NO PLACE FOR THE TABLE !  I have been to a couple tables and someone forgot to bring their homemade cranberry sauce. So this came out and I saw faces become very ill. I was scared to swallow it.

3. JELLO SALAD

Never even heard of this until a couple of years ago. When I did I saw it come out and I said I think the salad then maybe dinner. We can keep the Jello out of the salad and use it for dessert.

4. THE "COUSIN EDDIE" FAMILY MEMBER

This is the family member who shows up and never leaves. You might not find him unloading his RV in the morning in the sewer. This is the one that passes out and is there till Christmas almost.

5. GIBLET GRAVEY

Yuck !! Who wants to see the stuff we don't eat such as the turkeys liver,heart,and other stuff cooking in a pot with God knows what else in there. You can point me in the right direction of the toilet, because I'm getting nauseous just writing this.  That's a big NO for me.

6. THE CRAZY OR JUDGEMENTAL IN-LAWS

Here is the one where your mother in law or father in law tell you have been doing everything wrong. It might be your cooking, or this was not done right on how you did something around the house.

7. THE PERSON THAT DRINKS ALL THE BEER AND DOES BRING ANY !

Last on the list, but this person is the worst. They might be showing up with the number 5th item on this list but no beer. They will however open that fridge or cooler and gladly help himself/herself to whatever you have in there. Then when it's time to go out and get more. Yup they are nowhere to be found.
