Hard rock bands recording acoustic albums aren’t really anything new, In fact they were fairly common during the 90’s. A lot of your favorite rock bands actually write a lot of their well known songs […]
Snake Bite Whisky’s own website states that the band embodies “Full throttled, no compromise, in yer face sleaze soaked rock n’ roll. A much needed injection of nitro glycerine, “fuck you” heavy rock with attitude […]
Here’s a new name for me but a great band that conjure up images of The Sunset Strip in its heyday. There’s a wonderful swing and groove to ‘Devil’s Canyon/Walking Contradiction’ that has you […]
Sometimes you stumble across something special and you just have to spread the word. ‘Time to Party’ from W.A.L.K.E.R.’s ‘Bringing Back Rock’ EP might date back to June 2017 – but the EP it […]
OK you can clearly see by the cover this isn’t one of Italy’s most politically correct of artists, you can also probably tell from the general composition of the cover and band names you’re probably […]
It’s no secret that I’ve long been an admirer of The Erotics and Mike Trash’s ability to write the prefect ‘fits in the air’ punk-fuelled sleazy barroom rocker and so whenever a new release rears […]
Welcome to the most explosive band in history – the Suicide Bombers, or at least that’s what the ‘intro’ track ‘A Divine Transmission’ tells you after name-checking the impossibly Glam names of the band. As […]
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 […]

Best known for his own band Prophets of Addiction and his stint in 80’s Glam legends Pretty Boy Floyd Lesli Sanders latest solo release may only be 5 tracks long but it packs a punch […]
After the wonderful ‘Crash Course’ (2007) and ‘Raising the Stakes’ (2009) New Generation Superstars were one of the most vibrant and most likely to succeed Rock bands in the UK. Then for a while I […]
What is it with releases like this? Three new songs, three live songs and a ‘Bonus track’? What’s that all about? Not only that – this is a special ‘European Edition’ meaning those […]
Always a fan of the sleazier end of the late eighties Sunset Strip, I love bands like Niterain who just seem to get it. If you liked 2013 debut ‘Crossfire’ then you’ll probably, like me, have […]
Modern Sleaze Metal from a bunch of guys who look like Motley Crue meets Black Veil Brides. Now if you were cynical that would sound like a cliché you’d seen a thousand times and you’d […]
It’s been a while since we last heard from Grand Rezerva when they released their 2013 debut album ’48 Laws’ and after a few line-up changes and a couple of singles dropping in 2015 they’re […]
I’ve always had a soft spot for these lot ever since their debut album and the strains of opening track BOB CITY came blasting out. Formed in Sweden under the name KINGPIN, they changed it […]

I like France’s BlackRain, who seem to be the head of the pack flying the Gallic Sleaze Rock flag these days. And his new album ‘Released’ comes with a certain expectation after increasing returns over […]
When Reckless Love released their first album back in 2010 they were a breath of fresh air – borrowing the cheesiest of Glam from the sunset strip and injecting it with a big baste of […]
This is a great fun dose of old school Rock with a hint of Metal from Italy’s all-girl ‘The Phoenix’. In truth it takes you back years sonically and yet at times seems strangely modern, […]
5 months after Buckcherry unleashed ‘Rock N Roll’ comes the ‘deluxe’ version with additional tracks. The question is of course, great as the album was, is it worth putting your hand into your pocket again […]
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 […]
