Come with me now on a journey into the dark side of the blues! Self described by the band as “Doom/Metal/Blues”, ‘Witch Mountain‘ go to the places other bands tremble to set a foot. With a mix of genres they really have this style of music not just pinned down, …

This latest offering from State Of Salazar is full of pleasant enough easy-listening tracks, some a little reminiscent of things gone before, but this is an AOR band after all. Pretty much a safe album for fans of this band and has been released by Frontiers Records ( www.frontiers.it ). S.O.S. have been …

Heavy metal yes, but i’m hearing something here that just got the hair on the back of my neck tingling! Just occasionally a song or an album comes from out of nowhere and kinda grabs you. Some folks call them “A cult “. In other words it’s an album that …

Men from down under? Yepp! But this time on a metal mission!! It would seem that our antipodean cousins are on the war path once again, and by the sound of it this group called “Massive” really mean business!! From the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia have emerged this four piece …

Now Hours will release their new single ‘Crossfire’ on 4th August 2014.     These guys have not even been a band for twelve months …

This just released debut album by the three lads from Neath in Wales, is in my opinion just exceptional !!!  Packed full of veracious old school classic rockin riff’s straight from the U.K.’s very own West coast, these guys I’m sure could out rock the very best the U.S. could possibly produce! …

Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep all had become top bands in the early 1970s – and each was one of  the so called “Big 4” at the time. Myself as a child born of the 1960’s, I’ve had the pleasure to grow up with these groups and watch …

This is one band with a real sense of humor! From a Monty Python esk Napoleonic cartoon video to Swash Buckling Cavaliers! I’m beginning to think their more like a love child of the Alex Harvey Band, who played a blinder of a cover of  Tom Jones’s Delilah on the old grey …

I think I’ve just found that something special to fill the gap in my CD collection that’s been empty for far to long. Old style, nostalgic! ain’t the words to use, but if I have to describe them, only three will fit here, “Retro-Rocket-Rock” !!  This is just one magnificent …

.@Planetmosh  @CROWSAW   Right from the off your bombarded with a hard hitting, gritty rock sound. With a heavy bass rhythm section leading the way, the guitar riffs just keep flowing from the many songs on the CD. This self-released album is the next stage in the anthology of Crowsaw’s footprint …

@Planetmosh @TheWildhearts  @HeyHelloMusic @VHBROZ When I saw how big the que was outside of Rock City in Nottingham, I just knew straight away we were in for a good night! Getting there fairly early, I made my way into the venue and settled myself down. I’d found a great spot to see everything, …

@Planetmosh  @FormanDave @ZZTop @NeilDanielsBks   As author Neil Daniels say’s in the book “Beer drinkers and Hell raisers , is not a biography per-se, rather as the subtitle suggests, a fans’ handbook; a guide to their history and music“. I found it to be very historically ( musically ) informative, telling of the early …
