Joshua Munday is an Australian guitar player who has been part of various recording sessions and endorsed by guitar gear companies Roland or Boss, Joshua has demonstrated guitar products to thousands of people in the past few years and co-headlined many festivals including the Sydney Guitar Show.
"Days Where I Began" is his debut album, under the JOSHUA moniker.

Joshua is not only a dexterous guitar player, he's also a good songwriter and a well trained vocalist. If I had to choose a reference to his music, instantly Richie Kotzen comes to mind.
"Days Where I Began" rocks across twelve immediate tracks under the 4-minute mark, mixing bluesy hard rock tunes with some commercial heavy-funk overtones.
Joshua's support band is tight & dynamic, special mention to drummer Nick Pansini who provides an excellent rhythm and great fills, giving to Joshoa a strong foundation for his sharp riffs and interesting solos.

NOW!BEAUTIFUL SWEDEN AS...

As we told you on facebook, not all these songs will end up on the album. In Charlie’s opinion, the best albums contains 10 songs. But it is really hard to kill any of these ones. We’ll see what happens.

The first single + video for the song The Lost River Band will be released in very soon.

And about the cover: It’s an old painting by Luis Ricardo Falero called “The Departure of the Witches” made in 1878, that we stumbled over a year ago, and it just screamed our name!

It's amazing what you get to do the crisis, instead of mounting a great band, as these two boys just reinvent the musical duo, as they did some years our dynamic duo.
Joking aside, this young German training debut with the self-titled album, contributing to the world of metal, a great deal of speed conjoined with an epic feel and Heavy Metal, but something is not quite like the voice a lot and I think considerablente can improve, maybe they find it very good to the result, but I think it lacks some melody and strength, otherwise, perfect.
We also noticed that a job has been completely self-funded

2012-07-19 00:00 - Swedish Psychodelic Classic Rock icons WITCHCRAFT have revealed the cover art of the band's forthcoming album, Legend, which marks the bands first after a long 5 year hiatus.
Commented singer/mainman Magnus Pelander: "A friend of mine had an idea about a cover for Legend. I developed the idea and gave it back to my friend who then passed it on to another friend who happened to be a designer. The designer then pushed it in a new direction. The result is already legendary.“
Bass player Ola Henriksson adds: "The album cover is meant to reflect the music and I think it does that with its heavy, dark & clean design.“
Legend will be released September 21 (Europe) and September 25, 2012 (North America) via Nuclear Blast

At what age does your feminist anger stop being qualified as "riot grrrl rage"? Kill My Blues,the Corin Tucker Band's sophomore album, is being heralded as the former Sleater-Kinney bandleader's default to her '91 Olympia factory settings. This is a fantastic prospect surely stoking our 1990s nostalgia and wiping the weird taste of her previous album off our palates, but it doesn't quite hold.

Tucker is now a grown-azz, 39-year-old woman, and on Kill My Blues she tackles topics that weren't on her riot girl radar at 20: mortality, the joy of conception, how she could use a vacation. She is singing from the perspective of her life as the mother of two kids who's maybe a little wistful for days when her life was a little more carefree and Joey Ramone was still above ground. Her rage is no more than that of any American who's paying attention in 2012.

If ever a band deserved a good tribute, it is what some people refer to as the "real" LYNYRD SKYNYRD, the band as it existed prior to the 1977 plane crash that killed three of its members.
Most of the performances on this CD - produced by no other than Billy Sherwood - really do justice to the iconic band.

With former Skynyrd members Ed King on slide guitar, Artimus Pyle on drums, and The Original Honkettes (John and Jo Jo Billingsley-White, Leslie Hawkins) on backing vocals, "Double Trouble" musicality is true to the original, and blends well with Thane Shearon's fresh vocal interpretation.
Blackfoot's Rickey Medlocke wrote and did the lead vocal on the original version of "Seasons", one of the Skynyrd's few slow songs. He still does it nicely in this century.
"That Smell" and "What's Your Name" are skillfully interpreted by Canned Heat and Jim Dandy's Black Oak Arkansas, respectively.

NOW!KISS MY...

It all started from an idea between the two basic and original members, Mikki (bass & vocals) and Cioxxx (drums) back in 2005. After several line-up changes, they settled down and Mikki finally took over the vocals as well. What they wanted to do was to play rock & roll with a little bit of garage & punk music without any compromises. Adding elements from The Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Imperial State Electric (mostly), Backyard Babies, Hardcore Superstar, Hanoi Rocks and so on... they started writing their own tunes. With lyrics talking about sex, fun, good time, drugs & girls you can’t bypass the fact that those youngsters wanna party all day long.
