RAUSHI (sounds like “RUSH-HIGH)” front woman, Dani Raushi, is living, breathing, singing proof that when fueled by the formidable flame of focused passion and an un forfeiting work ethic, a dream seed spark can and will erupt into a tangible reality.

For RAUSHI, music is a poetic tool with the capacity to take the negative energies that often surround life’s mentally and emotionally challenging situations, which in the case of the new album “HIGH TIDES COLLIDE”, involve inescapable desire and overwhelming betrayal, and transform them into positive release. With a lyrical flow of clever puns, the album unapologetically exposes over-consumption driven by ones experiences when placed in the volatile frameworks of consuming love as a result of human nature.

NOW!TRUE ENG...

We all know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But when a record turns up on your desk bearing the kind of artwork you’d find on a gothic market stall t-shirt, you can make a pretty good guess at what the music contained beneath the hooded, scythe-wielding Grim Reaper on the front.

The album in question is Birmingham rockers Nightblade’s album ‘Servant to Your Lair’. It's a record that offers little in the way of surprises from the moment you pick it up; brittle, brash guitars, hard-rock solo-orientated, lyrics laden with shadowy clichés.

Despite the fact that long as life shall separate us from Timo Rautiainen is the fourth solo album, so even the disc will be sure to compare the neck shot at the time. Of course, this is not surprising, because after all, Trio heavier by far one of the most important influences in the Finnish music. Parables are guaranteed for as long as Timo boards publish either solo or as a head shot, so I do not do yourself any of the exceptions.

Previous solo albums none of his own yardstick, received grade excellent, but every solo album since then has been somewhat contradictory feeling. Each disk has had its climax, but also has its own downs, and sometimes even those steep. The fourth sector, however, goes even further and can be lethally immediately to the top to say that Till death do us part is by far the very Rautiainen, "a solo album."

Warhorses in more ways than one is an extraordinary phenomenon in the local music scene. The seemingly pre-programmed suicide by switching from Hip Hop for diametrically guitar genre they bomb casually with fat charts quotations henceforth. This sold-out arenas and a fan base, as they had been since the Cretaceous go. Their second album "En Garde" to this success is certainly still increase

Reeling from the success he garnered from his last EP “Always You” and the single of the same name, he hit the studio with producer Larry Marciano at the helm, to create a truly powerful rock album that magnifies Addison’s talent for rock arrangements. Addison returned to the studio with the same team from his previous go-round. Christine Wu (Justin Timberlake/Usher) and Ryan Hoyle (Collective Soul), as well as newcomers, vocalist’s Adam Brooks (of TV’s “The Lying Game” and the band The Good Mad) and Vanessa Bryan each exhibit exceptional contributions.

Hailing from Springfield, Massachusetts, Doug Ratner & the Watchmen's main claim to fame is getting banned from a popular TV show, Mass Appeal, in their hometown, for their song Bomb in the Backseat. It appears the show neither listened to the song nor understood it's meaning. They only heard the references to bombs and explosions. O well.Ratner and company play a blend of classic guitar rock with some modern alt references. Here's the skinny on their debut EP Lessons Well Learned. First, if you give it more than a few spins, it will grow on you. But the significant songs are three.
