Reviews of albums, EP’s, DVD’s, music books and more
Mötley Crüe have been in the news lately, you might have seen them. You know that band that could never, ever tour again because they’d signed a ‘cessation of touring agreement’ saying just that. […]
Some bands are just difficult to categorise, and whilst that never bothers me as a listener (I either connect, or don’t or somewhere in between) it does mean when you review their music you […]
I’m not sure I really need to see or hear another live DVD by Journey, much as I love the band and think they are great live the thought of another DVD to add to […]
Quiet Riot do keep making albums unlike some of their contemporaries who packed it all in years ago, and for that you have to commend them. Whatever your thoughts on the legitimacy of a band […]
OK they got me again, despite my aversion to ‘intro tracks’ in this case I will allow one that introduces the band like an awards show before storming into the wonderfully sleazy slice of hook-laden […]
One of the bands that really reminds me of discovering 70’s Rock back in my youth via my mate’s brother’s extensive record collection is Molly Hatchet. As a kid I loved just looking at the […]
After a great debut in ‘Let’s Rock-N-Roll’ (2009) Charm City Devils put out two more great albums -Sins (2012) and Battles (2014), it’s been five long years since… So with three full length releases under […]
Wigan’s ‘Bigfoot’ were one of the bands in the last few years that I was sure stood a good chance of making it, when I spoke to them in October 2017 the album was […]
With barely hidden influences that range from Kiss to The Sunset Strip circa 1987 the oddly-titled Demons Sing of the End’s second album ‘Wake Up and Enjoy the Ride’ picks up where the last left […]
On March 1, 1969 in Miami, Florida, The Doors gave what might be their most infamous concert. Playing to an overcrowded venue lacking seats and air conditioning and with a very drunken Jim Morrison […]
This is great, good old Rock and Roll with a female vocalist with some serious pipes and a band who know how to lay down a great groove. If you like you hard rock back […]
Now I know that it’s been a while since we last heard from Angel – a band that as a kid in the UK I’ve still no idea what prepossessed me to pick up […]
Gotta love this one – Portuguese musician/actor and veteran of musicals Diogo Lima has just released a great debut under the name John Black Wolf and it’s definitely one that’s worth a listen; and whilst […]
This is interesting I loved Bad Flowers a band that stormed onto the scene in early 2018 with ‘Staring Gun’ of which I said “(this is a) band that has a real Blues-Rock edge […]
42 years into a career with more than a few bumps along the way and the current sidelining of vocalist Biff Byford due to health issues, from which we wish him a speedy and full […]
Don’t you love it when you get a new album you really wouldn’t mind knowing just a little about and with the folder comes just a few pictures of the band, a lyric sheet, a […]
It’s three years since Alt-Rockers Black Income’s debut ‘Noise Pollution’ a record which saw them tour Europe, playing festivals and opening for bands such as varied as Exumer, Bullet and Tigers of Pan Tang. Now […]
Don’t you just love it and never get tired of people complaining about how particular Rock band’s will never be the same without a particular member, or that they can’t listen to a band […]
Perth prog rockers Voyager return with their seventh studio album “Colours in the Sun” and it features some of their strongest work to date, all showing the signs of a mature band who have […]
Formed in 2017 Indianhead have a sound that resonates through the ages – bluesy Hard Rock with a soul set in the 70’s but with a 90’s Grunge fuzz and a nice Southern Rock kick. […]
Australia’s Demonhead have a mighty sound that after its done battering you about the head leaves you feeling you’ve been assaulted by Pantera whilst taking onboard a touch of Punk, Stoner and Doom for […]
Jonny Z, real name Jonathan Zazula is a name some people will recognise, particularly those familiar with the early 80’s thrash metal scene and the history behind some of those now iconic bands such […]
Wayward Sons debut album had another clever title but it’s the music that matters here, and Toby Jepson and co are certainly making some righteous noise on this second full-length release on Frontiers. If you […]
Ukranian progressive metal band Jinjer return with “Macro”, the follow up to their “Micro” EP which was released earlier in the year. As impressive as it is to put out a full length so […]
Beth Hart has released her ninth studio album and once again it is an outstanding example of her ability to switch through a wide range of genres & styles with effective ease. ‘War In […]
