Jersey Rock Band of the Week: The Hungry & Dangerous
Rocking Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck on August 19!
The Hungry & Dangerous continues to unleash a killer onslaught of Modern Retro Rock! Their tunes don’t just draw inspiration from music but also from specific life experiences.
It makes for a potent blend of creativity, energy, and nostalgia. Their latest single “Young At Heart” is no exception. The track is inspired by the 1980s 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.”
“Young At Heart” is available now on all streaming platforms. Check out your options HERE.
The Hungry & Dangerous are not just creative, energetic, and nostalgic; they are also innovative. Well before the world turned to Zoom for remote work, Jordan Taylor Moed and his partner Matt Lewis were beaming their ideas back and forth to create an intercontinental collaboration. Moed is currently in Nashville, while Lewis resides in New Jersey.
The popular music city provides an excellent proving ground for new tracks. Moed tests them on live audiences then touches base with Lewis. Speaking on the new single he 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. “
The Hungry & Dangerous are currently out on tour and will arrive in New Jersey later this week. Don’t miss them at Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck on Saturday, August 18 for what will be an epic homecoming show. The band will be joined by Canamara and Violent in Black as well as some new friends in Conquer at Will. Doors are at 7:00 pm. Tickets are just $10! Moed said:“We are excited to be given the opportunity to be in NJ again for a show. New Jersey always delivers for us! “
5 Top Sausage And Peppers Sandwiches On Seaside Heights Boardwalk
My favorite place to get boardwalk food is the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. My favorite boardwalk food to get there? A Sausage “Sangweech” with peppers and onions!

Sweet or hot Italian Sausage is great any time of year. However, when it’s summertime and it’s done right on the grill or flattop on the boardwalk, it’s to die for. Especially when it gets all caramelized, and then they use the grease to cook the sliced green bell peppers and Vidalia onions. Oh, baby, I shouldn’t be writing this at lunchtime.
I guess the reason I prefer the Sausage and Peppers on the Seaside Boardwalk is that it’s comfort food for me. Seaside Heights is where I started going in my teenage years. Meanwhile, having lived in Ocean County for almost 25 years, and Toms River specifically for 20, it’s where I’ve taken my kids.

Now, I’m not foolish enough not to realize two things.
There are hundreds of places in the area that make a good sausage sandwich. However, they don’t have the ambiance, if you will, of the Seaside Heights Boardwalk. The other thing is, I know there are more than five places that make a good Sausage and Peppers, but hey this is MY personal list! Haha, maybe I’m totally off base and you can show me some better Italian tube steaks! Well, that didn’t translate how I wanted, but let’s keep it PG, for food’s sake.

The list contains places where I have great memories of enjoying a sausage sandwich, as well as places that I truly feel have a superior product. Greasy, but not too greasy. A good ratio of peppers to onions, and peppers and onions to meat. Another very important criterion for a good SPOS is the bread! Too doughy and you got a soggy mess. Too hard you lose half your peppers and onions on the boards in front of Luck Leo’s. Come onnnn! Oh, and my most personal requirement is, condiment options. Not just “sauce or no sauce”. No no, that isn’t enough. bring me the good stuff!
