Classy Melodic Rock. From the title track to ‘The Big Unknown’ Lee Small has done a wonderful job here, beautifully crafting an album that really builds on his work with both Phenomena, Lionheart and […]
Roxx Gang were a band that had a big impact on me back in the day. With a singer I always felt had more than a bit of Paul Stanley about him, a penchant […]
I must admit that Heaven’s Edge completely missed me first time around, and even in the pre-internet days that took some doing as I read everything and most of my disposable income went on […]
The Good time Rock and Roll of ‘Get a Rock and Roll Record’ that opens the latest offering by Sweden’s legendary Diamond Dogs might be a little too Quo meets 70’s dance party for […]
