There are some artists that define a moment in your life—and for me, Lorraine Lewis was one of them. Back when bedroom walls were sacred ground, she was one of only three posters that made […]
You’ll all have heard opener and title track ‘Reckless’ and if you’re a fan of the team up between Danny from Crazy Lixx and Chez’ take on 80’s Melodic Hard Rock then this is a […]
I love a band out to have fun. Having interviewed John Diva recently (up soon on the website) I can honestly say I’m not sure how to describe John Diva & The Rockets of […]

Bonfire, one of my favourite bands of the late 80’s and favourite German Rock band ever is sadly these days diminished in ‘classic line-up’ members. Missed most of all, of course, is the distinctive voice […]
Originally released in 1986 and re-released this year on its 30th Anniversary Scott Ginn’s ‘One Man Army’ still sounds damned good today. Indeed find me a Hard Rock album from any continent from 1986 that […]

Grab the hairspray and don those fashionably tight leather pants, Wild Souls have released another album Game of Love, which rocks you out from track to track. A testament to the 80s hard rock genre, […]
In my humble opinion Tyketto was one of the best Hard Rock bands of the eighties no question about it, and their debut album ‘Don’t Come Easy’ has always sat comfortably in my all-time Top […]

Crazy Lixx has been one of my favourite of the new breed of rock bands worshiping at the altar of 80’s rock over the last few years. Danny Rexon and co have put out some […]
Band’s re-record and re-release material all the time for any number of reasons, normally of course these days for Rock bands it’s original labels or subsequent rights owners unwilling to re-issue often long out […]

High pitched vocals, like a cross between Klaus Meine and Sebastian Bach and a sound that can only remind you of Sunset Strip in the heart of the days of Hair Metal, Shiraz Lane is […]
People of a certain age like me still look back and wonder where all that late eighties Sunset Strip swagger and fun went. The answer today is that some of it can be found in […]
Unashamedly 80’s Hair metal – Snakebite Whisky is another in a long line of Australian bands who manage to capture the essence of the scene back in the day. Only an ‘EP’ – ‘Two Steps […]
