Better Days is a lesson in how to erase a decade in a blink of an eye. It is like being transported back to the early 2000s, full of hope, carefree and when music was pure fun.

I have to admit this is a new one on me, even though this collective is going 10 years now having first came into being in 2015. 

We hit the trilogy of Mike Tramp's White Lion reinvention and as with Vol 1 & 2 you cannot look at these releases on par with the original songs. In most cases you cannot touch those classics so you have to view them as if they are an additional source. 

This band needs no introduction, but we’ll give it one anyway, because when rock gods assemble, it’s only polite to roll out the thunder.

Back in the '90s, if you were a rocker, you did not listen to Oasis. That was the law of the schoolyard. You were either in the Metallica and Maiden camp, or you were one of those indie kids with floppy hair and a parka. Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Guns N’ Roses, those were my gods. Oasis? That was the enemy.

Do you want an incredible hair metal album? do you want a concept album? Do you want a brand new band that will take you back to 1980s MTV? Do you want the best debut of the year? If the answer to any of those is yes let me introduce you to your next musical love...The Switch.

For The Forsaken have always stood for something, the Cambridge quartet bringing their crushing sound to the masses but at its core there lies a beating and defiant heart that carries the true weight of all they do.

I had the pleasure of reviewing the original version of this monumentally heavy slice of Modern Hard Rock  almost two years ago and here we have the Deluxe version which adds nine new tracks to the original album.

I had the very great pleasure of reviewing Cory Marks’ Sorry for Nothing Vol 1 album back in December last year, and am absolute banger it was too!

For the uninitiated, Igorrr represents the kind of unhinged musical vision that could only emerge from someone completely unshackled from the constraints of good taste and commercial viability.

Essex’s Beyond Extinction have taken the scenic route to their debut full-length. Three years in the making, plagued by lineup changes and the kind of setbacks that would crush lesser mortals

The call goes out. It's time to celebrate. To celebrate the bison. The bison - the magnificent horned bovine, large in stature, powerful and nomadic .... Hold on a minute, let's start again shall we.

As a lifelong devotee of This Is Spinal Tap, the film, the soundtrack, the Stonehenge debacle, I approached The End Continues with the kind of cautious optimism usually reserved for reunion tours and reheated lasagna.

Having saw Michael on tour recently supporting his UFO Days album, the man was certainly playing with a real sense of urgency and precision, and while still on that tour in question, there came the announcement of a new album, he has been battering out albums at some pace in the last decade, so let's see what this new one has to offer! 

35 years since the last Dark Angel album, it's been a long time coming for this, after marking a comeback announcement way back in 2013 it's been a long wait and with the death of Jim Durkin as well in that time the band have had changes in the personnel, so what do we get in 2025 from this classic thrash band, let's find out!

It's hard to believe that The Rasmus are now into their third decade of existence, the eternally youthful Finnish outfit still bringing their stylised and upbeat blend of Gothic rock and pop hooks to the masses.
