Already causing big waves on the scene, London quartet Circus 66 unleash this absolute storming track that could flatten city blocks.

The opening salvo from the forthcoming 'Invincible Shield' album, 'Panic Attack' is a thunderous slice of pure Priest.

Always one of the best hard rock bands out there, Vixen carried the torch lit by bands like Fanny and The Runaways into the Hair Metal days dominated by testosterone fuelled outfits like Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and Ratt, often beating the boys at their own game.

While the rush of adrenaline of 'Angry' was a thrilling first song from 'Hackney Diamonds', the Stones have outdone themselves with this absolutely barnstorming monster.

BERNIE MARSDEN. A brief pause to reflect. Bernie's recent passing is such a great loss not just to the music world but to the world in general and especially of course to his friends and family.

SWEET 'LIL LIES - Such an eloquent expression. Leaving the listener in no doubt as to the subject matter of this release the song tells a story of someone who has had enough of being taken for granted and is ready to pull the plug and walk away from a relationship going badly wrong.

Prolific - 'producing many works'. Just score out that definition and replace it with Robert Jon & The Wreck. In April this year the band produced what is a genuine contender not only for album of the year but one of the best live albums in recent musical history - Live At The Ancienne Belgique.

The world's greatest rock 'n' roll band are back, proving yet again that they're untouchable. Any new Stones releases are an event and this is certainly no different, their first original material since 2005's 'A Bigger Bang', a new single is the perfect mouth watering taster.

Mancunian tech-deathcore band Monasteries have released an utterly slaughtering album. Ominous is sheer brutality and I consider this to be one of the heaviest albums of 2023. I

Elles Bailey never seems to sit down or stand still for a second. Throughout the summer (if that's what you can call the soggiest of seasons we have just endured) Elles and her band have constantly criss crossed the country and the continent playing at umpteen festivals in a relentless quest to deliver her outstanding music to the people.
