John Illsley (ex-Dire Straits) – Long Shadows (2016)
May 1, 2016 13:49
Classic Rock
‘Long Shadows’ is John Illsley’s 6th album of a stop-start solo career that received a notable boost from his last studio album, the aptly titled ‘Testing The Water’. If the latter sounded like a marketing tool to find out the public’s appetite for another post Dire Straits album from the...
Desert Dance – Open Secrets (2014) EP

All Exclusive Hard Rock
In Brazil, sometimes good Hard Rock bands appear, but the greater part of them use bands like MOTLEY CRUE, GUNS 'N' ROSES and SKID ROW models. Just a few of them go in a way lighter, in direction of a more AOR/Party Rock sound. And DESERT DANCE, from São Paulo, is one of them, and their first EP, “Open Secrets”, is a good sample of what I mean.

All Exclusive Hard Rock

Black Heart Breakers – Black Heart Breakers (2014)

All Exclusive Hard Rock
'Your Hearts Running Wild' has got handclaps galore and some very nice melodies and guitar licks. Kicking back to the '70s and a whole cool gang of bands as influences there was no way these cats were going to fail me. Don't think it's all retro chops, mind; oh okay, maybe mostly it is but there is an innocent cheeky charm about songs like 'Don't Worry About Me' and the use of handclaps is magnificent and makes this greasy tune about a 100% snottier...
