[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.].

Six years after the release of their exuberant debut, Atlanta’s Worlds Greatest Dad returns next month their follow-up collection of emotive pop-punk, Better Luck Next Time. As heard on the pre-album singles, the soaring choruses are still here, as is the angst-ridden lyricism. The latest cut from the LP, “Taking One for the Team,” serves as a perfect example of the band’s maturation over the course of their absence, with crisper production leading up to a densely layered catharsis in its final moments. Meanwhile, vocalist Maddie Duncan taps into the complicated feelings of learning that their family dog was being put down at a moment of strain between them and their family. The lyrics aim to replicate that “feeling of responsibility and helplessness,” as Duncan notes.

When some hear the term “classic rock,” they might think of old music. Music for their mother or grandfather’s generation. Music that isn’t modern or new or contemporary. And this might just turn them off to diving deep into the sounds of the rollicking genre. But that would be a mistake—at least in our estimation.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
