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 […]
On March 1, 1969 in Miami, Florida, The Doors gave what might be their most infamous concert. Playing to an overcrowded venue lacking seats and air conditioning and with a very drunken Jim Morrison […]
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 […]
Now I know that it’s been a while since we last heard from Angel – a band that as a kid in the UK I’ve still no idea what prepossessed me to pick up […]
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 […]
This is interesting I loved Bad Flowers a band that stormed onto the scene in early 2018 with ‘Staring Gun’ of which I said “(this is a) band that has a real Blues-Rock edge […]
42 years into a career with more than a few bumps along the way and the current sidelining of vocalist Biff Byford due to health issues, from which we wish him a speedy and full […]
Don’t you love it when you get a new album you really wouldn’t mind knowing just a little about and with the folder comes just a few pictures of the band, a lyric sheet, a […]
It’s three years since Alt-Rockers Black Income’s debut ‘Noise Pollution’ a record which saw them tour Europe, playing festivals and opening for bands such as varied as Exumer, Bullet and Tigers of Pan Tang. Now […]
Don’t you just love it and never get tired of people complaining about how particular Rock band’s will never be the same without a particular member, or that they can’t listen to a band […]
Perth prog rockers Voyager return with their seventh studio album “Colours in the Sun” and it features some of their strongest work to date, all showing the signs of a mature band who have […]
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. […]
Australia’s Demonhead have a mighty sound that after its done battering you about the head leaves you feeling you’ve been assaulted by Pantera whilst taking onboard a touch of Punk, Stoner and Doom for […]
Jonny Z, real name Jonathan Zazula is a name some people will recognise, particularly those familiar with the early 80’s thrash metal scene and the history behind some of those now iconic bands such […]
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 […]
Ukranian progressive metal band Jinjer return with “Macro”, the follow up to their “Micro” EP which was released earlier in the year. As impressive as it is to put out a full length so […]
Beth Hart has released her ninth studio album and once again it is an outstanding example of her ability to switch through a wide range of genres & styles with effective ease. ‘War In […]
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 […]
Our favorite tech metal giants Nile are back with a new album and it is gloriously good in every way possible. Without getting into any sort of long winded story, here’s what we thought […]
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 […]
Lacuna Coil return with a new album “Black Anima”, once again setting the standards for dark, atmospheric gothic metal. As the years go on, it seems this band keeps getting better and better, and […]
A Zen kōan doesn’t have to be deep, but a good one will startle us into new ways of thinking. Paradox is key. Sometimes it takes the collision of seemingly incompatible realities, and a […]
The cover of Junkyard’s 1991 classic ‘Sixes, Sevens and Nines’ featured a hand on a set of cards, cigarette between fingers and a bottle or glass out of focus on the table in the […]
