The melodic Rock quintet from Athens/Greece featuring guitarist/keyboardist Bob Katsionis (Firewind) and New York based singer Chandler Mogel, have just released a Christmas themed single named:
“Last Days Of December”.
Bob Katsionis comments on the song:
“People are getting so much negativity from everywhere these days. It’s like someone is trying to make the world feel empty and helpless, facing the problems of each country’s economy, criminality etc. At the same time,what you get from the Social Networks is mostly negative comments, trolling, absurdity, violence and people being more rude day by day. This is reflected on music as well. Bands are trying to be harder, heavier,meaner and more evil like there’s some short of hate-contest going on! What we tried to do with this song is to bring the rock and Heavy Metal world some melody,some peace, remind people that Love is the power that makes this world go round and contribute to the soundtrack of the Christmas Holiday Season with a song that we hope will stand the test of time. Christmas time doesn’t necessarily mean shopping and spending but also quality time with friends and family and the people we love and to be able to share some positive energy which is definitely missing nowadays.
Happy Holidays!”
The song is now available for purchase at your favorite digital download store (ITunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, etc.).
The song was written and produced and mixed by Bob Katsionis at Sound Symmetry Studio, Athens,Greece.
Middle guitar solo by Achilleas Diamantis
Vocals were recorded at PJB Productions,Verona, New Jersey,USA.
Drums were recorded at Basement Studio, Athens, Greece.

The Riot Soul are a hard rockin' group that formed in Helsinki, Finland in 2010. The band combines hard rockin' guitars, punky bass and screamy vocals for a blend that will knock your teeth in and make you bang your head until it rips off.
The songs take their inspiration from modern day anxiety and debauchery that makes it all easier to digest. All members -- Miika Kokko (vocals), Julian McGourty (guitar), Jani Mikael (bass) and Ozzy Perkkioare (drums) -- true rockers to whom making kickass tunes comes before puttin' make-up on unlike some bands of the rock genre nowadays. So ease the seat back, put the top down, pedal to the medal and get heavy with their tunes.

Blessed by a Broken Heart are gearing up to release 'Feel the Power' on Jan. 24 via their label home Tooth & Nail, and now the band is giving Noisecreep this exclusive taste of the song 'Forever.'
With a Stryper-like vocal intro and plenty of over-the-top solos courtesy of Shred Sean, the anthemic track should whet the appetite of not only fans of the band, but really, anyone that appreciates high octane hard rock. "I remember being sent the demo for 'Forever' back when it had no vocals and it was called 'Feel the Power," guitarist Sam Ryder told Noisecreep about the genesis and early phases of the song.

Review:
What happens when you take three former Buckcherry members and put them together once again? In the case of Black Robot the results are rather surprising. Black Robot is the creation of Jonathan "JB" Brightman, who was one of the founding members of Buckcherry. Along with Detroit city singer Huck Johns, the pair founded Black Robot before bringing Buckcherry alumni Devon Glenn and Yogi along for the ride. This album was originally released independently in 2009, but is about to be reissued with two bonus tracks featuring a different line-up.
Of course the obvious thing to do with this band would be to be to clone the Buckcherry sound and go in that direction. That isn't exactly the vision thatBrightman and Johns had in mind for Black Robot however. Aside from the opener "Badass", their arrangement of the J.J. Cale penned and Eric Claptonclassic "Cocaine" (what is it with these guys and cocaine anyway?) and "Girls Kissing Girls" which includes some AC/DC influenced power riffage, that's where the Buckcherry similarities end. Black Robot is much more eclectic, and they step outside of the box throughout their self titled debut effort. Their sound is part garage band, part punk, part glam, part alternative and part straight forward rock 'n' roll with a 70's feel to it. The music is explosive, memorable, soulful, bursting with attitude and full of piss and vinegar. If you're looking for the next big thing in rock 'n' roll then Black Robot are it.
The only thing that would have made this album even stronger is if it had been scaled down from 13 tracks to a solid 10. The production is king, the musicianship and the songs are there in spades and the attitude is off the hook. Look for Black Robot, with their revitalized line-up of Johns, Brightman,Andy Andersson (guitar), Staffan Osterlind (guitar) and Possum Hill (drums), to explode in 2010.

So I’m going to go right out and say it: I love STAGE KIDS. Killer Tofu is the deadliest tofu I’ve ever heard! But, if this is your first time hearing about this band let me share a few words to introduce your experience.
Stage Kids are a youthful 6 piece from Mira Mesa, California - they compose music that some would categorize as ‘mathrock’ or ‘jazzy’ or ‘groovy’ or ‘bootyshakin’ - Jason D. Jesus, one of the guitarists from Stage Kids mentioned in my previous Q&A that they play ‘rock n roll with jazz/hiphop influences.’ The point is you can take whatever you want out of their music! Shake your butt!
