In an age where algorithms dictate taste and rebellion feels rehearsed, Mike Stoyanov is a glorious anomaly — a swaggering, sweat-drenched reminder that rock’n’roll still lives, breathes, and bleeds from the underground up. His new single, “My Rock ’n’ Roll”, is less a song and more a personal manifesto — a defiant cry from a man who’s sacrificed everything at the altar of guitar-driven chaos.
From the opening riff, “My Rock ’n’ Roll” hits like a shot of adrenaline straight to the veins. There’s a ragged elegance in Mike’s delivery — the kind of unfiltered, from-the-gut vocal that conjures echoes of Liam Gallagher, Richard Ashcroft, and a touch of Primal Scream’s wild-eyed freedom. But make no mistake — this is pure Stoyadelica. The guitars snarl, the drums swagger, and beneath it all beats a message that’s both painfully honest and deeply infectious: life’s too short not to live it like a rock’n’roll show.
As ever, the cult of Mike Stoyanov isn’t just about the music — it’s about the movement. His fans, the Stoyadelica Army, are proof that he’s building something far bigger than a discography; he’s creating a culture. You’ll find their graffiti anthems — “Stoyadelica Baby” — scribbled across venue walls from Glasgow to Brighton, and their chant (“oooh Mikey Stoyanov!” to the tune of Seven Nation Army) rattling the rafters before he even steps on stage. It’s madness, magic, and meaning rolled into one.
“Maybe I lost some battles along the way,” Stoyanov admits. “But you can be damn sure that I will win the war.”
And “My Rock ’n’ Roll” sounds like the victory charge — a track that reclaims the word “independent” not as a limitation, but as a badge of honour. It’s gritty, anthemic, and unapologetically alive.
In a world obsessed with filters, Mike Stoyanov is beautifully unfiltered. He’s the kind of artist who reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place — because it felt dangerous, liberating, and a little bit out of control.
This is his rock’n’roll. But for three and a half minutes, it’s yours too.
