Once Bitten — featuring former members of Great White and Jack Russell’s Great White, is tearing the roof off with their brand-new single, Rockin’ Like the 80s.
Staying true to the legendary Great White sound, the band moves forward following the passing of iconic front man Jack Russell, building on the legacy and opening a new chapter. With powerhouse vocalist Andrew Freeman front and center, Once Bitten delivers a no-holds-barred anthem that channels pure ’80s swagger, nostalgia, and unapologetic rock ’n’ roll energy.
“This track is a full-on celebration of the ’80s vibe we all lived for,” says Tony Montana, multi-platinum Great White alum. “It hits hard in the live set alongside the old hits. When you play it, you feel that young-band spark again — reckless, raw, and alive.”
“Jack left a massive legacy,” adds Freeman. “We’re not here to replace it, we’re here to honor it. Rockin’ Like the 80s is about carrying that spirit forward, giving fans a modern twist on the radio hits of that era.”
The new single slides seamlessly alongside classic Great White staples like Rock Me, House of Broken Love, Face the Day, Can’t Shake It, Call It Rock N’ Roll, Mista Bone, and the timeless Once Bitten, Twice Shy.
Rockin’ Like the 80s isn’t nostalgia — it’s a battle cry. Once Bitten proves that the sweat-soaked swagger of Great White’s prime is still lethal, still loud, and still built to dominate stages, speakers, and play lists.

Eddie trunks music that is painful to listen to and should never be heard. Seamless along classics as Mr Bone? Who would write something like that?
George,
What does Eddie have to do with this?
This was an official press release, that was sent to me. For the most part, I tend to share most of what is sent from the publicity agents, and then it is up to the reader if they are interested or not.
I am thankful for the great stuff put on this site! I would of never even knew existed like the new release from Black Label Society. But Eddie has talked about many time bands that are so great. And they have not accomplished that greatness! Anything that is put on here does reflect Eddie. It is Eddie’s site. But correct me if I am wrong. I know you are a very intelligent woman!! When someone writes something like comparing this noise to something like Mr Bone. It is bad and fake reporting! I see this all the time. Writers trying to make a name for themselves reporting fake stuff. Metro news, my local crap news paper in Connecticut! I wonder if this person that wrote that ever heard the masterpiece Great White Hooked!
I am supposed to be “neutral,” but I will “say,” I cannot argue with you. But we know, that the very existence of PR firms, is to hype and promote, even if product they are selling is mediocre or poor.
There are so many celebrities I can think of, that have HUGE PR machines behind them, that make them stars If left to public opinion, many would not be famous at all.
