Rock V4

Rock continues to evolve, and Rock V4 Music Playlist captures the pulse of where the genre is headed in 2025. This playlist brings together a handpicked lineup of 2024’s standout rock releases—tracks that blend raw emotion, bold experimentation, and a deep respect for the genre’s roots. From Poppy’s boundary-breaking “New Way Out” to Linkin Park’s powerful comeback on “Heavy Is the Crown,” each song adds a fresh layer to the modern rock narrative. Whether you’re drawn to the cinematic scale of Nightwish, the introspective grit of Daughtry, or the poetic force behind Hozier, there’s something in this collection that speaks to every kind of rock fan.

Rock V4 isn’t just about big riffs and even bigger vocals—though there’s plenty of that, too. It’s about how today’s artists are reshaping the sound of rock: blending analog synths with guitars, ditching traditional song structures, and diving into complex themes like resilience, identity, and defiance. Tracks like Blink-182’s “Take Me In” and Seether’s “Illusion” show how bands are maturing without losing their edge. Meanwhile, The Offspring’s “Light It Up” and Skillet’s “Fire Inside Me” prove that arena-ready anthems still have a place in the genre’s future. Closing with The Script’s “Gone,” this playlist is both an emotional journey and a sonic showcase of how rock is thriving—louder, deeper, and more dynamic than ever. Press play and feel the resurgence.
