With a great dirty groove, fine sense of a hook, nice big fat guitars and a singer reminiscent of Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks fame, Dirtbag Republic can’t go wrong. If opener ‘Can You Feel […]
One of the worst aspects of running a website is that folder that says ‘listen to later’ – it’s usually thick, full and sadly the one you only get to dip into occasionally as the […]
It only seems like a few seconds ago George Lynch released his solo album ‘Shadow Train’ and that itself came so soon after the debut from Sweet and Lynch earlier this year: add to that […]
Tracklisting: Never Again – Rockin In The City – I Can’t Stop Loving You – The Rains About To Fall – Even Now – Tears Will Fall – Mad As Hell – Sweet Sensation – Tonight’s The Night- The Quest – Stones By The River On […]
With a surname as instantly recognisable as Slaughter and all the memories of eighties rock that name brings with it – whether it be Vinnie Vincent’s Invasion, Slaughter the band or even Scrap Metal (the […]
Aside from the opening spoken intro in the form of ‘The Fallen (Genesis 3 1 -13) – yes I also hate ‘intro’ tracks; Sin of Night’s ‘Take the Snake’ is decidedly quirky Rock – with a […]

Dynasty have really hit their straps on this, their second full length album. With a slick and polished production that never detracts from the raw ROCK-ness of the songs, “Knock you Down” shows that these […]

Marketing is the new God of music in this millennium where lack of industry support and dollars can spell the premature end of any promising young band despite their best efforts. So if you have […]
