The Zac Schulze Gang’s The Rocker Review
The Zac Schulze Gang’s The Rocker Isn’t Just a Song—It’s a Goddamn Statement
The Zac Schulze Gang’s The Rocker, released June 27, 2025, on Flat Iron Records, doesn’t walk into the blues-rock scene—it detonates it. This Kent-based power trio doesn’t just tip their hat to the legends; they rip the crown off and roar, “We’re next.” Forget revival—this is a hostile takeover, and The Rocker is the battle cry.
From the first sledgehammer riff, it’s clear: this ain’t background music. This is front-row, sweat-dripping, amp-blowing, soul-hollering rock ’n’ roll, and it hits like a pint of gasoline down the throat. Zac Schulze, that guitar-wielding lightning rod, plays with the rawness of Rory Gallagher, the fury of Cream, and the cool swagger of The Black Keys—all while blazing a trail that’s entirely his own.
But the real knockout punch? Anthony Greenwell’s lead vocal debut. The man opens his mouth and out comes a voice soaked in whiskey, wisdom, and war cries. It’s soulful, it’s feral, and it punches through the mix like a freight train. Meanwhile, Ben Schulze’s drumming doesn’t just keep time—it drags it behind the van like a hostage.
And that chorus? Infectious doesn’t cut it. You’ll be belting it in the shower, the car, and possibly during major life moments. It’s got that punk bite, R&B smooth, and pure blues-rock blood running through its veins. Honestly? It’s the kind of hook bands spend a career chasing.
Following a rocket-fueled run of A-listed singles (Woman, I Won’t Do This Anymore), festival takeovers, and a headline set at the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival—where Zac literally played Rory’s sacred ‘57 Burns—this gang isn’t just building momentum. They’re incinerating the road behind them.
With The Rocker, The Zac Schulze Gang have issued their manifesto: they’re not the future of blues-rock. They’re the bloody present.
Watch the video below. Stream it. Shout it. And get used to the name—because The Zac Schulze Gang just took the throne, and they’re not giving it back.
