(WATCH) Jersey Rock Video of the Week: Who On Earth “Hold The Line”
New Single Available Now!
Who On Earth rocked RAT Radio earlier this year with their debut album “Blame.” We featured some killer cuts on Jersey Rock. If you’re into high-energy, highly-skilled musicianship, powerful vocals, and deep lyrics, it is definitely a must listen. Blame” is available on CD, vinyl and all streaming platforms. Find your options at whoonearththeband.com.
Who On Earth is already hard at work on the next album, due out in the first half of 2024. While they’re putting together an epic collection of new original tunes, the band decided to drop a cover of a vintage track to tide their fans over. Speaking of their decision to record a cover of Toto’s “Hold The Line,” Pete Rizzi said:
“We wanted to release a remake of a classic song while we continue writing new material for our 2nd album. When kicking around ideas, we couldn’t find a single person that didn’t LOVE this song and we felt it would be perfect to heavy up and bring back with some power!”
The result is a high-octane lover letter to Toto! Many would agree that a great cover captures the essence of the original track while adding a personal spin to it. Who On Earth’s “Hold The Line” is brimming with the kind of power and perseverance listeners have come to expect from Who On Earth. It totally rocks hard!

As Who On Earth continues to work hard on their sophomore release, the band has serious plans for the new year. Pete Rizzi said:
“2024 will be a big year for us. We will be releasing a new album halfway through at the latest and the tracks we have so far are killer. After that we will be playing our asses off in as many places as possible!”
We’re looking forward to all of it! In the meantime, we’ll enjoy Who On Earth’s latest music video. It was produced by Shottie of Rob Shotwell Productions at Ever Artist Management in Toms River. Check it out!
4 Neighborhood Holiday Light Shows That Bring Out The Holiday Spirit
My neighbors a few houses down the street from me used to put so many lights on their house during the holiday season I swear you could see their house from outer space. It was cool as could be! If your neighbors go all-out with holiday decorations in December, let us know because I just might add them to this cool list of houses with amazing holiday light displays in our area. Some of these places have been entertaining the neighborhood for years, others are new-comers to the holiday light scene. Either way its totally fun to make a trip through the neighborhood to check them all out.
Once you crack the seal on holiday decorating it’s hard to put a lid on that vibe. Every year they come out with another cool thing to add to your holiday light collection. Everyone who gets into this part of the holiday spirit seems to go bigger each year. The light displays get more intricate each season. The lights get brighter every year. Or they add music and then add synchronized music to the mix. We’re making Clark Griswald proud here on the Jersey Shore with some of these awesome holiday lights displays in our area.
If you’re planning on creating an awesome holiday light display to amaze your neighbors here’s a few tips from HGTV:
- Make a diagram of your plan to get an idea going. Put your plan on paper.
- Measure where you’re planning on putting your lights.
- When hanging lights, work from the top down.
- For extra safety, use grounded “power stakes”
Beyond those useful tips, the sky is the the limit on your holiday light show.
Some of the displays we’re about to show you are so popular that local police are out on the streets to manage the traffic going into the neighborhood. Because some of these displays are so popular, it’s important to be careful about traffic. Drive slowly, watch for pedestrians and if you’re the driver keep an eye on the car in front of you. We wouldn’t want a fun trip to see local holiday light displays in our area to turn tragic.
