Denmark’s ‘Bite the Bullet’ could be from anywhere or any time: their quirky take on Seventies Rock that is as ‘Retro’ as it is ‘Rootsy’ also puts their sound right in vogue at the moment. […]
Everything that was once old is new again and vice versa. Today the kids that reject the eighties and nineties rock put of hand seem to want to embrace the 7o’s and of course there’s […]
If you’ve ever been to Collie in Country Western Australia then you’ll know that Sisters Doll is perhaps the band least likely to hail from there, but hail from their they do, though these days […]
If you like your Rock N Roll with a distinct sleazy edge then pray welcome the new Danish sleaze rock kings! ‘Sin and Tonic’ is a record with a real Sunset Strip, late eighties sonic edge […]
I discovered The Obsessed back in the 1990’s when Kyuss was the big thing in stoner rock. It was bassist Scott Reeder who was on Kyuss’s very last album “…And The Circus Leaves Town” […]
Screaming Metal guitar, a high pitched scream and an immediate segue into a melodic refrain heralds the subtly titled ‘Goin’ in the Backdoor’ – the opener to Steel Panthers latest Hair Metal ‘smut-athon’. Ending […]
I wasn’t sure what I was in for when I saw the title of the first track ‘Pissy Flow’ and really, I still don’t know what to make of it. I liked it, but […]
Gnash Rambler are debuting their first studio album titled ‘GNASH RAMBLER’. A collection of Pop Punk anti establishment tunes making you feel like your back in the 80’s and 90’s. With a Ramones/Blink 182 […]
Not having heard New Yorkers Eve to Adam before I was quite eager to listen to some new rock and I was not disappointed. These guys cannot be pigeon holed into one particular sound. […]
Sydney metallers Flaming Wrekage have been working hard this past couple of years and with a ton of touring behind them, it has cultivated into a great set of songs for their new release […]
Iron Reagen appeared to initially start out as a side project when formed by members of Municipal Waste, Darkest Hour, and Cannabis Corpse back in 2012, fast forward 5 years to 2017 and the […]
There’s so much quality Melodic Rock out there at the moment, and no small chunk of it from Frontiers that you could argue the form is going through an artistic high even if that is […]
Aussie Rock music is still alive and kicking despite what they tell you. In May last year The Screaming Jets released their 8th studio album Chrome, their first in 8 years, a release that pricked […]
Formed back in 2008 Supergroup Chickenfoot who seem to have been in a holding pattern since the release of the first live album back in 2012 – ‘Chickenfoot LV’ have again spluttered into action with a new […]
It started with a Pledge Music campaign launched on 27th January 2016 with an album to be released on April 14th that year… Less than three months for a new Vain album! Sweet! I signed up there […]

British heavy metal five-piece, Synaptik from Norwich, UK recently announced the re-release of their incredibly successful debut album, ‘The Mechanisms of Consequence’ as a heavier remixed album. It contains a lot of variety with […]
Sometimes an album just feels so right… I remember when I first caught up with Derek Davis a few years back before his first solo album REVOLT and before the current resurge of interest in […]
Perth has some fine rock musicians at the moment but trying to look for a ‘rock scene’ here is a bit of a task as we get pulled all over the place by a media that […]
Germany is full of great thrash metal bands, the big Teutonic 4 of course some of the pioneers of the genre. But underground it seems culturally part of the music scene there and is […]
“The band LIONCAGE was founded in 2013 by Thorsten Bertermann (vocals), Torsten Landsberger (drums) and Lars König (guitar & mix). All three musicians had known each other for many years performing in professional tribute bands, […]
Well to be honest this one came at us out of nowhere and I’m so glad it did. Over the years there have been some great female voices in Rock and they’ve varied from those […]
Recorded in 1982, mastered for 2017: ‘Tatts:’Live in Brunswick’ is a record for those that like their Rock N Roll with no airs and graces: it’s dirty, hard, fast and real. To be honest although ‘Live […]
You always remember the great ones, like that first time you dropped the needle on ‘Lynyrd Skynyrd’ or ‘ZZ Top’, the very first time you heard ‘The Black Crowes’ or the time ‘Mountain’ came on […]
This has to be one of my favourite albums of the year so far: Black Diamonds, formed in 2004, are a hard rock band based in the Rhine Valley in eastern Switzerland and if you […]
