I have always been a fan of the band Babylon A.D. who always seemed to be a cut above most of their contemporaries in the song-writing stakes; and who over a brief period in […]
There are some albums that just have to be heard and for me the fact that everyone does not have a copy of SYRYM’s 2008 debut means that you are all missing out big […]

Steelheart burned brightly at the start of the nineties and made two great albums before, like everyone, they felt the tide turn with the birth of grunge. I think that they would have been […]
