I remember loving Heaven’s Basement (2008 – 2017) the band Buchanan joined in 2010 and left in 2015 and their blistering EP’s and debut album ‘Filthy Empire’ – a band that joined that long list […]
If you hanker after a slice of classy AOR-infused Melodic Rock with an uplifting message, a great sound and crystal clear production then Roulette are certainly worth checking out. Diving straight in, opener ‘Never Enough’ […]
Exciting news! Miljenko has branched out and created a solo single as a Valentine’s Day special for all the lovers out there! This song is in honor of the popular rock ballads “She’s Gone” and […]
Peter H Nilsson started working on this album back in 2017 along with singer Chris Biano, drummer Jason Meekins and bassist Patrik Adiels, and what a team that is. ‘Little American Dream’ is nine tracks […]
Who’d have thought that the band we championed all those years ago when The Rockpit began, and who played a blistering series of Australian dates back in 2011 when this interview took place, would […]
First of all let me start by saying I always thought Tora Tora had a little bit more than most of their contemporaries back in the day, and hearing the news that a new album […]
Lullwater (named after the street in Athens where they used to rehearse) produced one of my favourite albums of 2012 when they released their debut, and it’s follow-up ‘Revival’ from 2015 wasn’t too shabby either, […]
Sleaze Rock is alive and well and all is good with the world. Coming across like the bastard sons of Faster Pussycat, Babylon Shakes spit out of the speakers with ‘Making a Million’ a dirty, […]
If you’re looking for a vintage-sounding weighty slab of Sludge, Doom proto-Heavy Metal and have a listening list that ranges from Sabbath to Kyuss then Electric Citizen should probably already be essential listening. Indeed, three […]
Along they come like a firecracker out of the night! Another new band for me this year that I’m hoping will be taking the first steps to a long and successful career is ‘Gin Annie’ […]
I knew nothing about ‘Tug of War’ when I hit ‘play’ and that to me is always the best place to start with a new band or project – immerse yourself in the music before […]
Quiet Riot has an indisputable place in the history of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal and whilst they’ve had their fair share of tragedy over the years and also their fair share of line-up changes; […]
Ahh when a band splits the fallout never really goes away in the eyes of the fans does it! Whilst ex-Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate’s ‘Operation Mindcrime’ project went for variety and subtlety in it’s […]
This is far from Magnum’s ‘first rodeo’ as far as live albums go (I’m thinking they must already be into double figures and I’m not even going to search that) but the good news […]
There’s always been something rather ‘other worldly’ about the music of Cats in Space and both ‘Too Many Gods’ (2015) and ‘Scarecrow’ (2017) showed us a band that wasn’t afraid to channel the sounds of […]
Back in the day just before Rock’s great late eighties Sunset Strip-fueled peak Los Angeles was the place to be if you loved your Sleazy, down and dirty Rock and Roll. Sure Bon Jovi were […]
When ‘Beating the Odds’ comes screaming out of the speakers you already know you’re in safe hands. It’s a steamrolling rocker built on a rock solid riff and a vocal from Mr Finn that thrusts […]
The bio for Prophets of Addiction used to read: “Every once in a great – and blessed – while, a band comes along that encapsulates everything that’s great about rock-n-roll. The Prophets of Addiction is […]
Jetboy was one of those wonderful bands of the late eighties that had that real edge that set them apart from the whole Sunset Strip scene . With a huge loose sound that was part […]
If you’re a fan of Inglorious and the music they make then last October, hot on the heels of the announcement of the release of a third album ‘Ride to Nowhere’ in January, the departure […]
This, our first interview with Davy took place in May 2011 VAIN in my humble opinion is one of the best Hard Rock bands that the eighties ever saw, with songs you would kill for, […]
“Why do you write another song when you’ve already written 500? Where do you find passion when you’ve done it all, and what is the point to record and release and new album, in […]
