SKAM are a young Hard Rock band based in Leicester, UK and since their formation three years ago, they have matured and established quite a following there and elsewhere, having a reputation for fun, energetic live shows (they are on tour with ex- Thunder 'The Union' right now).
Whilst their previous efforts of the 'Bulsara' and 'Killing Time' EPs may have been a bit raw in production, they certainly display signs of maturity on their full length debut "It's Come To This". More»

now...
Not for the faint hearted or pussy glamsters and sleazsters, Motochrist play bitchin' rock 'n' roll soaked in the dregs of punk rock with Motorhead and Ramones thrown in for good measure, as well as the odd curveball and melodies and twisted lyrics to boot. 'Live To Kill Another Day' proving the point perfectly, kicking things off on a barnstorming riff that Lemmy would be proud of before 'The Fist' pulls up on a killer guitar lick with sufficiently violent lyrics - This shit is the bomb right here, picking up teeth indeed. If this were played in a night club a riot would ensue, no doubt about it. Never mind the fist, this is like an exocet going off. Motochrist change pace on the title track with a suitably summery keyboard and Beach Boys melody and harmonies to boot, the cheeky scamps!
I've actually liked some of the previous Reinxeed albums I've heard, but with "Welcome To The Theater" Tommy Reinxeed and his band is really testing me. I'm afraid I'm failing the test, as this album is just TOO MUCH. Apparently these songs were influenced by movies, and by listening to it those movies must have been nothing but BIG spectacles. You can imagine huge armies with swords in the air, dragons flying above and giants stomping around...
Swedes! A power trio! Girls! A name that resembles ‘foursome’! This must be my lucky day and a sure winner, yes? No. Unfortunately for these no doubt very likeable personalities I just reviewed Crucified Barbara & Barbe-Q-Barbies and both were ranging from good to very good so ‘Solitarium’ is the odd one out, unfortunately. Not that there’s isn’t any talent present in this fine band, because there’s plenty. It all just sounds so very… overdone, so over-thought. The sound is crispy clean, the girls obviously know how to play their instruments but there’s nothing lasting going on here. This is rock ‘n’ roll, people, or it should be. As a comparison, Fourever resembles good-girl Sandy from Grease. You know, the blond dolled-up Pink Ladies member played by Olivia Newton-John. And what we want is the leathered-up Sandy that gets touched up by John Travolta in the carnival at the end of the movie, the feline-like one with the endless possibilities and opportunities. Al the rest is boring
XFactor1 was formed with the intent of bringing decadence, passion, and intensity to the people who matter most, the fans. XFactor1’s dedication and strong work ethic proves their desire to be seen and heard and once prompted a writer for a rock magazine to proclaim them “Americas blue collar band”. They wear it like a badge of honor!
With the help of their favorite sponser Jagermeister and through their own efforts, XFactor1 has played alongside some of the top bands in active rock on the Mayhem, Uproar, and Rock On The Range festivals. Xfactor1 has toured nationally with Mushroomhead, Flaw, Psychostick, Boba?ex, etc.
Squackett, a portmanteau of the creators Chris SQUire and Steve HaCKETT combined names, is the project of the duo demonstrating their work together over the last few years.
Here for review is the 2012 release of their first project together as Squackett, an album that Steve Hackett looked to record by the sounds of the album between Out of The Tunnel’s Mouth and Beyond the Shrouded Horizon as there are elements of both of these projects of Steve’s within the writing, performance and production style. Mind you having Roger King on board was always going to make it easy to draw production similarities between Steve’s work and the Squackett project. But Roger works so well I cannot imagine the project having anyone else at the helm!

now...amazing !!!
The legendary band Tank return with “War Nation”, the highly anticipated follow up to their 2010 album “War Machine”. Recorded in London with producer Phil Kinman, “War Nation” features ten brand new tracks of pure British metal/rock which confirm Tank as one of Britain’s best and longest running rock bands.
The initial release of the album includes a nice surprise for all fans - three hidden tracks which won’t be available elsewhere! These are:
Rush will return this summer with "Clockwork Angels," the iconic prog-rock band revealed on Wednesday. The new album, due June 12, will be the trio's first studio effort since 2007's "Snakes & Arrows" and their debut for Anthem/Roadrunner Records.
For the new set, the band turned again to "Snakes & Arrows" co-producer Nick Raskulinecz and recorded in Nashville and Toronto. The conceptual set will trace a protagonist's journey through a world of steampunk, alchemy and an exotic carnival; drummer and lyricist Neil Peart is also penning a novelization of the album with prolific author Kevin J. Anderson
Between albums, Rush has kept busy with a series of tours, documenting their most recent dates with the "Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland" live album and DVD last November. (They also made an appearance as the object of Paul Rudd and Jason Segel's sonic affection in the 2009 film "I Love You, Man.")

now...wow!
I think it's love again! Hoist the flags because one of the best records ever released has gone in for a service and Mr T has souped up a near perfect 10" record into a hot rod ride of extended tracks that, once you lift the hood and check out the reworking of these tracks, any sceptics will be able to sit back, relax and sigh with relief as to how they've been lovingly primed and reworked.
Clearly benefiting from time away Tyla has stripped the tracks that originally appeared and some of the others that went missing at the time and lovingly recreated them and, in my humble opinion, in many cases revved them into something better than the originals sounded.
2012, after their debut ,,This Is U" released in 2006 and many concerts with SCORPIONS, DEF LEPPARD, WHITESNAKE, NIGHTWISH, EDGUY the band is back with CYBERIA. Greek singer / songwriter ,,Hannibal" is known for his performance in the band SPITFIRE who supported bands like IRON MAIDEN, WASP and SAXON. On their latest tour they supported Tarja and he sang a duet with her on ,,Phantom Of The Opera".
