Over the years we’ve been championing the music of DYNAZTY, indeed their debut was one of the very first albums we reviewed in our first year of The Rockpit. Over the years DYNAZTY’s output has […]
“To me, live albums have always been the quintessential corner stone for any rock band’s catalog. I grew up on Aerosmith’s ‘A Little South of Sanity,’ AC/DC’s ‘LIVE,’ The Stones’ ‘Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out,’ and […]
We’ve been reviewing and chatting to Dynazty at the Rockpit since 2009 – that was the year we started the website and also the year Dynazty dropped their first album ‘Bring the Thunder’. In all […]
With a spoken word intro where Toby talks about his struggles of mental health and advises us, his dear listeners, that despite that heavy subject matter this recording – the first of three volume set, […]
Music is such a wonderful thing. It can inspire, it can motivate, it can bring people together, it can heal and it can create moments that stay in your memory forever. Tonight at The Prince […]
I first saw Lacuna Coil years ago at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, it was a packed house and a great night, ad I’ve seen them at every opportunity since. There’s a few […]
Who doesn’t love a bit of calming gentle 70’s and 80’s Soft Rock? Well there’s a treat sailing your way Downunder in May! For those uninitiated, Yacht Rock encapsulates the revival of Soft Rock Hits […]
After days of oppressive heat the rain finally came to Fremantle just hours before Cavalera played Metros. It was so humid that the walls and the patrons were soaked long before the first support hit […]
I guess it would be both lazy and contrite to review tonight’s Primal Scream show at Fremantle Prison with just the two words “Fucking epic” but in all honesty that was what was going through […]
15 years ago when I started up The Rockpit I did it to support the music I loved that I didn’t think was getting the attention it deserved. My very first interview was with the […]
The announcement on 21st March last year that drummer Joél Cirera would be departing Crazy Lixx following their performance in Copenhagen on 11th May means that there is just now one man standing from the line-up that […]
Here at the Rockpit we’ve been championing the music of Mike Tramp for 15 years now and January is starting off in the best possible way for Australian fans… The wait is over! Mike Tramp, […]
Cavalera is a name with its fingerprints all over the history of heavy metal, an inspiring family legacy built upon decades of musical aggression, starting all the way back in 1984 in Brazil with Sepultura. […]
First review of the year and I like this EP a lot. Lead Feather aren’t subtle and it’s certainly not hard to hear where their influences begin and end but in all honesty there are […]
2024 was a great year for Rock Music but a strange one in that so much great stuff was released at the very start of the year and then things kind of tailed off with […]
Before we get to the BEST OF 2024 list later in the day, as usual, and for the last 14 years we have always published our top contributor’s individual lists for the year. The overall […]
There’s a real naive, almost Go-Go’s like charm to the sound of this one. L.A.’s Little Girls were one of those bands that are completely new to me and yet a band you feel with […]
It’s been a while between drinks as they say. 6 years going on seven since the pre-pandemic ‘Nothing But The Truth’ hit in 2018. And if I’m honest this might just be the Prophet’s bets […]
HELLOWEEN are turning up the heat as they gear up for their monumental 40th anniversary world tour in 2025/2026 and tease a brand-new studio album! But before diving into the next chapter, the metal legends […]

There really is nothing like The Screaming Jets as a live act, and over the years they haven’t diminished sonically at all – they are still up there with the very best. In the scheme […]
Live music at its very best can be an almost spiritual experience. Music can sooth all ills, music can bring joy, heal a broken heart and lift you above the daily grind. Music can […]
Some bands just go on making great music long after their moment in the spotlight. Some bands never put a foot wrong and yet end up huge in one part of the globe and virtually […]
Bay Area legends TESTAMENT are set to lay waste to Australia in June 2025; their first headline tour since 2010. With a new album on the way Australia will be first to hear it – can you […]
