I’ve always liked Ted ever since I first saw Danger Danger support Kiss way back in 1992, and over the years his projects and solo albums have been pretty consistent – especially Melodica, Poley/Rivera and […]
The lead single from Dirty Rascal’s debut leads the way on this ten track introduction to the band. It’s a great summer sounding song , light and full of tight melodies and a cool laid […]
An unexpected and unheralded white labelled CD drops on the doormat of The Rockpit more than a few times a week and along with the hundreds of other submissions it takes its place in the […]
A sellout crowd at Perth Arena, last night, gladly welcomed the return of Roger Waters to it’s stage, it’s been six years since his last visit, with the amazing “The Wall” tour, and now […]
The Rockpit always likes to get behind great local talent. Cassidy Paris might not be a name you’ll recognize yet but she could very well be one to watch. Her first single ‘Stand’ was written […]
Sometimes you read the description of an album that isn’t exactly your standard fare and your mind prompts you that there is a rather good chance of it all ending up rather badly. Sadly those […]
If you like your Rock to sport the sheen of Blues and Country then this might be worth a listen. Opener ‘A Girl Like You’ is kinda subdued and laid back but with a thick […]
I must admit that back in the day when Dante Fox released their debut I wasn’t really listening to too much heavily melodic rock, the nineties for me were a bit of a wasteland musically […]
Hailing from Kent in the UK and citing Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Bon Jovi and Shredding guitars as influences Cahoot! have put together a debut EP to showcase their fresh catchy melodies and […]
Aussie Rock these days isn’t in bad shape at all, not only are the old guard doing particularly well but the new kids on the block are kicking up a storm too. It’s just a […]
Italian melodic rockers Airbound, whose sound they admit has been inspired by classic AOR of bands like Journey and Survivor, and to me adds a dash of Bon Jovi to the mix have done pretty […]
“What could be more Rock And Roll than this?” the publicity asks and the answer is that this album, written and played in its entirety by Mauro Cordeiro at his home studio MauCor Music […]
Band splits are always interesting beasts and Queensryche’s split, which resulted in the band ‘sans Tate’ carrying on and Geoff creating ‘Operation Mindcrime’ so far seems to be slightly favoring the former. In truth, despite […]
One of the latest trends in the UK that is gaining some real traction is the ‘neo-pysch’ movement (yea more genre labels!) – a dreamy mix of 60’s pop tunings, weather beaten California surf and British […]
Hailing from Montgomery County, Maryland, Dangerous Curves is an interesting beast not least for launching this 11 track album with the slug-line “Dangerous Curves melts faces with their first self-titled EP” – 11 tracks isn’t […]
Track list: 1) Who am I, 2) Looking in the mirror, 3) Get out, 4) High time, 5) Principle of love, 6) S.O.S, 7) Showdown, 8) Shout it out, 9) Cry on the wind, 10) […]
You do see some bad album covers every year but I think this one is my pick of the year – a dodgy concept that’s been poorly executed – it almost wants you not to […]
Back in 2015 the Super-group that is Revolution Saints released their debut self titled album. Consisting of Night Ranger’s Jack Blades, the recently ex-Whitesnake (now The Dead Daisies) gunslinger Doug Aldridge and Journey’s Deen […]
Everyone it seems these days wants a piece of the Nightwish-styled Melodic Metal action, some grasp for something they will never replicate and others manage to show that it’s just not the Finnish masters that […]
There’s a lilting ‘Don’t Fear the Reaper’ sound to the opening track ‘Eternal Flow’ on the new ‘A Devils’ Din’ album ‘One Hallucination Under God’ that is quite beguiling, but in the mix there’s far […]
Three songs only but so much promise! This EP does what an EP should do – leave a rather intriguing calling card and leave you wanting more with each listen. For a band born only […]
When a band describes themselves as playing Symphonic Metal these days you pretty much know what you’re in for. These days largely due to the dominance of the scene by bands like Nightwish your average […]
Whatever your take on the whole Bon Jovi saga the new Ritchie Sambora release was always going to attract a certain level of attention from Bon Jovi fans. With Jon going his own way […]
The last time we heard from Lucid Fly was when we received a copy of their magnificent ‘Escape Stage EP’ back in 2012 (the EP itself was released in 2009). This year a copy of […]
Dallas residents ‘Three Lane Road’ are purveyors of some mighty fine Melodic Hard Rock and there’s little doubt about that. It’s a genre that is going through a rather extravagant resurgence at the moment, with […]
