Over the years The Rockpit has had the chance to catch up with Nuno from Extreme a number of times, but this year with the release of ‘Six’ and the announcement of an Australian Tour […]
Back in the 90’s we weren’t so conscious about labelling everything with a distinct genre. Music you see was still free in those days, and Rock and Roll let’s face it has always been […]
If you like your Southern rock served with soulful and mind blowing blues vocals drizzled throughout, with guitar tones to chill you to the bone and backed with a rhythm section to bind it all […]
Over his career Luke Morley has been a song writing machine. His consistent writing exploits with British band Thunder have helped carve out some of the UK’s best loved rock music since their debut album […]
August sees Silverback Touring bringing back the best Nirvana Tribute act on the plant to perform Nirvana’s iconic album, ‘In Utero’, in full, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations. The band, which has been hailed […]
It has taken well over a decade, 9 albums, multiple fan petitions and even a support group for Australian fans upset at not having a tour, to finally get one of the greatest live bands […]
For their first time in Australia, the band that formed as an idea between friends from several well-known Rock/Metal bands (Soilwork, Arch Enemy, Mean Streak) almost a decade ago and have been dropping jaws ever […]
It’s hard to believe that ‘Tommy’ is over fifty years old, being released way back in 1969. The fourth studio album from British rockers The Who, ‘Tommy’ was composed mostly by guitarist Pete Townsend and […]
Sometimes you hear an album that you know is going to lead to so much more. And album that blurs the conventions of the present and reaches into the soul of the great music of […]
Crash Midnight are the premier band in Las Vegas. Their song “Blackout” was played at the golden knights games, they’ve headlined their own shows to packed audiences, they even have their own signature cocktail served […]
You couldn’t meet nicer people than Janet and Justin so when you hit ‘play’ and realise they have also released one of the very best albums of the year in ‘No Strings’ you couldn’t […]
Sometimes you have to sit with an album for a while to properly appreciate it rather than blast off a review and only capture part of the magic. 4 albums in, you see, Midnite City […]

The Angels are closing in on an incredible 50th anniversary, as well readying the start of yet another chapter in their historic journey as one of Australia’s longest running bands. The countdown is on for […]
Put aside for a moment any preconceptions you might have of Mr. Cavaleri because this new album ‘Miracles’ is something very different. If you love the story, love the solo records or love the bluster […]

Once upon a time back in the glorious Rock and Roll Heaven that was the 80’s there was a place called the Sunset Strip. People loved the Strip they had fun there, bands played there, […]

Babylon A.D. has a new live record out ‘Live Lightning’ on Perris Records and plans for a new studio record, but it seems founder member Jamey Pacheco may not be there for the latter. Over […]
Over the years I’ve loved talking to some of the great bands that strode the Sunset Strip in the late 80’s. For me there were plenty of gems up there amongst the also-rans. Some of […]
Back in 2020 Holy Roller Baby released their debut album ‘Frenzy’. Little did we know then that it would feature in our top three albums of that year, being pipped to the post by only […]
Chocolate Starfish just love to keep busy. Since their resurgence with the release of ‘Spider’ back in 2017, the band have been ever present on the Australian live scene once more. Whether is it galivanting […]
If you’ve not heard of John Diva and the Rockets of Love and you love melodic 80’s flavoured Hard Rock then you really do need to get on board. If you are already a fan […]
I remember seeing Tigertailz play back at The Porterhouse in Retford back in 1987, the iconic venue opened by Sammy Jackson (who also opened Rock City in Nottingham) might have been small but had hosted […]
