‘Shake Your Money Maker’ was the debut studio album by the American rock and roll band The Black Crowes, released in February 1990 on Def American Recordings it’s an incredible 30 years old next year. […]
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 […]
For 17 years now Tommy Thayer has been under the spotlight as Kiss’ longest serving guitarist. When the ‘End of The Road’ Tour finally rolls into New York City in 2021 he’ll have been […]
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 […]

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 […]

Gotta love this one – Portuguese musician/actor and veteran of musicals Diogo Lima has just released a great debut under the name John Black Wolf and it’s definitely one that’s worth a listen; and whilst […]

Formed in 2017 Indianhead have a sound that resonates through the ages – bluesy Hard Rock with a soul set in the 70’s but with a 90’s Grunge fuzz and a nice Southern Rock kick. […]
Wayward Sons debut album had another clever title but it’s the music that matters here, and Toby Jepson and co are certainly making some righteous noise on this second full-length release on Frontiers. If you […]
There’s something primal and essential about the sound of Liverpool’s King Voodoo, whose debut EP ‘4‘ is out on November 8th. There’s also a great use of space in their sound, big chunky guitars and […]
When I first heard opening track ‘Lines’ I knew Black Heart Saints were onto another winner. The song, which comes across like a heavier take on ‘Southern Harmony-era’ Black Crowes, is something special indeed […]
