Let’s get one thing straight: Buckcherry’s Roar Like Thunder (2025) is an electrifying, no-holds-barred rock ‘n’ roll juggernaut that demands your attention. As a lifelong fan and one of the band’s photographers (yes, I contributed […]
When I first got my hands on Circling from Above, the latest offering from Styx, I’ll admit I was a tad skeptical. As a longtime fan, I’ve always had a soft spot for Tommy Shaw’s […]
