2019 has seen a huge number of great live albums released and this is really one of the best all year. After last years Alcatrazz reunion that resulted in the live release ‘Parole Denied – […]
Let’s face it there have been very few classic Christmas songs and even fewer classic Christmas song collections in the rock arena over the years. Can I just spoil all that humbug by saying […]
For those that were around at the end of the 80’s in the UK when Pop ruled the airwaves and Hair Metal was a continent away (and Grunge still over the horizon), there was a […]
Horsehead is a name that any Australian Rocker around in the 90’s will know and love. Formed in 1991 by Scott Kingman and Cameron McKenzie on guitars, Andy McLean on vocals, Mick Vallance on bass […]
The day is here – one of the biggest dates of the year sees Perth’s own Maverick Firebird, Elephant Orgy and The Terror Adaptors at the Sewing Room for a night of searing rock and […]
I’ve always been a great fan of Glover’s voice but this is the sort of territory I love him inhabiting – nice guitar-driven hard rock courtesy of Stevie D. From opener ‘Your Time Has Run […]
If you want some good old fashioned Hard Rock with lashings of early 80’s flavour then this is something you might want to have a listen to. Sweden’s Steelwings are unapologetically retro from openers ‘My […]
‘Blood & Irony,’ a song co-written with Black Star Riders Ricky Warwick, that opens Anchor Lane’s first long-player is a song that leaves a lot of doors open. It’s laid back, built on a repetitive […]
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. […]
To me there’s nothing quite like a nice slab of Sleazy Rock and Roll, the sort of music that injects a bit of fun back into those dark nights post-grunge. The music that was the […]
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 […]
The 60’s was probably the most exciting decade music has ever seen, fierce and free, it was a decade that constantly evolved, from the creation of new genres to the re-connection with old forms and […]

Eclipse is a band who seem incapable of disappointing their loyal and ever-increasing number of fans. After 2012’s mighty ‘Bleed and Scream’ came the wonderful ‘Argageddonize’ in 2015 and ‘Monumentum’ two years later. This year’s […]
Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark Before Fire have just released their debut EP, which comes after a bunch of impressive singles. In my opinion it is the start of big things for ‘Before Fire’ as they […]
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 […]
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 […]
