When I hit play I didn’t know anything about this EP except I liked it, I liked it very much. ‘Ven Aqui’ that opens this 5 track release has a wonderful muscle-car fueled drive to […]
‘Turn To Six’ starts up like a broken-down machine before an old school Metal riff kicks in before it in turn writhes and twists into a more modern-sounding grind before a layer of wailing vocals […]
One of my favourite Northern Irish bands of the last few years has been Trucker Diablo, and this year vocalist Tom Harte has put out his first solo EP. It still of course sports his […]
This one says what it does right on the packet here. I mean a band like Crying Steel isn’t going to be exploring the Blues, Psychedelia or the AOR, it’s going to be rocking right? […]
I don’t pretend to be anything but a humble rocker but on the other hand when something that doesn’t necessarily fit into that very broad category comes to my attention I’ll still have a listen […]
I really like this. ‘Black 13’ have the retro feel of a band like ‘Back Robot’ but with a sleazier, bluesier sound and plenty of grunt and gas in the tank. Opener ‘Sin City Living’ […]
Last year we loved Black Paisley’s ‘Let Bloomer’ of which we said ” if like me you’re a fan of 80’s Hard Rock, or even rock and roll stalwarts like Bob Seger – there’s a […]
If you’re read the Rockpit over the last couple of years then hopefully we’ve introduced you to Doomsday Outlaw already. In our view, so far the band has done a stellar job and produced […]
I always get a little nervous you know when a new Ace Frehley album comes up on the horizon, and these days they do so with decent regularity. The reason dates back to my […]
Ah the smell of cheese I hear you say? Well sure, naming your band ‘Love Stallion’ might suggest a certain type of band, a certain type of music or at the lest suggest a rather […]
KINGDOM COME was a band that was seemingly right place right time 30 years ago when they hit the scene and released their first single ‘Get It On’ a song which held a stranglehold on […]
‘Welcome To’ is a new feature in the Rockpit where we try and capture fresh new bands from around the world that we think have a certain something about them and we’re tipping for bigger […]
Last year Midnite City came up with one of the albums of the year with their stunning debut and after repeated listens at Rockpit HQ it sounds like album number two is even better. It […]
Back in 2009 when Dynazty released their first album ‘Bring the Thunder’ and followed it up two years later with ‘Knock You Down’ you could have been forgiven for thinking that they were a band […]
Midlands based hard rock band, The Bad Flowers have today launched their official lyric video to promote their new single ‘Who Needs A Soul’. The single is released on Friday 14th September and coincides […]

The Magpie Salute is the continuing story-line of The Black Crowes with Rich Robinson, Marc Ford and Sven Pipien. A group that represents a musical union of swaggering rock ‘n’ roll, psychedelic blues, and campfire-worthy […]
THE BACKGROUND I’m not kidding last year we got in excess of 12,000 review applications for new music. This year by June we’d had over 14,000 and as our readership grows the numbers increase day […]

One of the best live acts you will ever see is Living Colour – a band who just know how to get their music across to an audience and a band of immense talent too. […]
Bullets and Octane have lost none of their power over the years despite the usual turmoil and line-up changes, and their brand of driving punk-edged Hard Rock with an old school feel and chant along […]
George Lynch has been in a rare vein of form recently and engaged in a number of diverse musical projects over the last 12 months. We spoke to him recently about the latest Lynch Mob […]
Compiling lists has always been one of journalism’s passions especially when copy has been in short supply. As long as I can remember I’ve been lazily obsessed with reading lists of the Best Movies, Best […]
I spoke to Michael Voss of Mad Max last week, a great guy from a band that over the years have put out some great Hard Rock and probably non more so that their latest […]
