When you hear something you like it sticks with you, and over the years Babylon A.D.’s first two records have more than stood the test of time for me. They’re records that sum up all […]
John 5 should be a name you are all aware of if even it is only for his recent recruitment to Motley Crue to fill the shoes of Mick Mars. Hopefully though you know a […]
Mark caught up with Andy earlier in the year to talk about the Australian Tour and we touched upon the singles from the upcoming album ‘Full Circle’. After reviewing the record we just had to […]
One of my very favourite albums of the last few years has to be The Commoners ‘Find a Better Way’ released back in 2022. This year the band is back with a new, arguably even […]
Some things are worth waiting for. We originally spoke to Ron a few weeks before the release of ‘Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day’ the latest record by Babylon A.D. and the first to feature […]
It’s a long way from Memphis to Chicago but we are sure glad that Charlie made that trip back in 1962 when the music world was on the verge of change. Rubbing shoulders with Chicago’s […]
One of my favourite bands over the last ten plus years has been The New Roses and ever since that first full length “Without a Trace’ back in 2013 they’ve consistently lifted the bar each […]
Never a band defined by their albums as far as the general public was concerned Sweet was a huge presence in the U.K. and Europe in the early to mid 70’s. Those in the know […]

Fighter V are back with a new album! well sort of… It has certainly been a while for the band formed in 2019 in Hergiswil, Switzerland who released their classic debut ‘Fighter’ (think Journey, post-1987 Whitesnake […]

It’s been only a year since Eclipse dropped Megalomanium on an eager public, and so calling this next outing ‘Megalomanium II’ kind of implies more of the same. That might sound like a stiff task […]
It’s a heartbreaking morning to report that Jack Russel has passed, just a month after announcing his retirement from touring. Jack touched so many people’s lives with his music, and was in my opinion one […]
One Canadian band that I just can’t stop listening to at the moment is Canada’s The Commoners, a band that manages to create more than memorable Blues based, sweet soulful music so beautiful you’d swear […]
