Well I’ve got my signed orange vinyl on the way how about you? As someone who was there at the start over the years Buckcherry have released some stunning albums, countless more than memorable singles […]
2021 has seen some great albums already, and after Midnite City unwittingly became one of the last international acts a lot of us Australia Rock fans saw back in March last year, hearing something […]
I like this and so will you if you like Bluesy Hard Rock with great melodies, because within you’ll find some fine songs here that are delivered with passion and almost inexplicably didn’t see the […]
It sure is a long time we’ve been locked down. No live bands is getting us all down, but on the bright side there are some great albums coming out of this enforced shutdown, and […]
Put June 25th in the diary if you haven’t already pre-ordered (I’ve got a signed orange vinyl on the way myself) because Buckcherry have come flying out of isolation with a stunning new record […]
The Angels of course need no introduction, considered Downunder to be Australian Rock royalty, over the years they’ve treated us to some great albums and timeless classics. But 2020 was a hard year for The […]
One of the very first bands that got me started on my own Rock and Roll adventure was Z.Z. Top and over the years that ‘Little Ol’ Band from Texas’ have brought their own […]
Australian rock wouldn’t be the same without Newcastle’s Screaming Jets and this year we get to revisit the album where it all began for them back in 1991 with their debut ‘All For One’. […]
Estrin’s Nightcats clearly have a sense of humour calling their new record ‘Contemporary’ when sonically it’s a real showcase for the Blues of days gone by – paying continued homage as it does to […]
Airforce goes way back – back indeed to NWOBHN and early Iron Maiden’s drummer Doug Sampson who played with them from 1977-1979. He left Maiden and formed Airforce but the band called it a day […]
The Quill is one of my favourite Swedish bands and has been for years. It’s criminal to think that after 25 years and on the eve of the release of their 11th album ‘Earthrise’ there […]
First of all I must apologise for getting to this so late! It’s a case of a long lost bag resurfacing with what turned out are some great music within! Formed in 2012 Sinsid […]
Released on February 26th, ‘Unstrung’ isn’t a new long player from Hollowed Sky, but rather a collection of their most definitive songs, completely remixed and remastered by the band themselves. And if you’re new […]
Love this one! Imagine a band that takes as primary influences early Whitesnake, Hughes Coverdale era Deep Purple, Free and Bad Co and ends up like a more guitar oriented Cry of Love with […]
Searing guitar, horns, a funky groove and a lot of fuzzy noise in the background are the best of things here as we kick things off with a remix of Tommy’s ‘Shake the Devil’ […]
For those that were there at Rocklahoma back in the day when it all began there was a constant, a band that initially sneaked onto the bill and the came back every year to become […]
The wonderful Melodic Rock of Captain Blackbeard has been on my playlist since 2011 when I heard their first record and 2021 sees them with a new EP hot on the heels of last […]
The hype around these guys has of course been kinda crazy, but after a hugely solid debut EP there was nothing to believe that the debut album wouldn’t be just as solid. The path […]
Snake Bite Whisky’s own website states that the band embodies “Full throttled, no compromise, in yer face sleaze soaked rock n’ roll. A much needed injection of nitro glycerine, “fuck you” heavy rock with attitude […]
This one comes bursting out the speakers nicely before settling into a groove and rocking out, adding a wonderfully soul-touched vocal and some wonderfully toned thrusting guitars. It’s a song whose insistent rhythm and […]
Three years after Kennedy’s debut solo record ‘Year of the Tiger’ comes his second full-length solo album, ‘The Ides Of March’ out on May 14th. It is, shall we say, an ‘interesting mix,’ taking […]
Th press release tells a familiar story the world over “New album, Tail End of a Hurricane, is released on 7th May 2021, and is preceded by the feel good tune ‘Rock Kids of […]
The second album from Joel Hoekstra’s 13 is upon us and it sounds great! Joel Hoekstra, of course is best known as the current guitarist for Whitesnake and Trans-Siberian Orchestra as well as his work […]
I spoke to Jay R, vocalist with Snake Bite Whisky recently (interview up 28th April) and he described his voice as sounding like he wakes up in the morning and gargles with concrete. Now […]
Opening track and first single ‘Make My Getaway’ had me from that first riff – its a riff that sounded remarkably familiar and a melody that echoes songs you’ll have heard before, and that […]
