FrontMR QUINN is an interesting and good melodic hard rock band from Skellefteå in the northern part of Sweden. Soundwise and stylewise it is easy to trace DEEP PURPLE influences, and who can blame anyone for such a fine taste? A rather frequent use of Hammond organ sounds help out a lot. More»

Is that all? This question I ask myself when, after of sixteen minutes, the listening experience is complete. Heart Of Chrome from Pforzheim thus give themselves rather spartan, although in the accompanying letter her work "Get Naked" is announced as an album.

FrontFantastic disc which is sounding a litlle bit more hard rock than the other Gowan's albums. This one + "Strange Animal" + "Great Dirty World" and the awesome "Lost Brotherhood" are pretty excellent discs full of atmospheres and fine worked melodies. At the same time Pomp, AOR and proggy... Gowan combines all those style to make a single expressive music, emotional and diversified. Great musician, great songwriter, fantastic singer... Gowan is a genius ! 9/10

Are you in need of exciting entertainment of the musical variety? Would you consider yourself a fan of a rock 'n'roll guitar, a masterfully tinkled keyboard or a full-throated chorus in the style of Weezer, The Hold Steady or The Get Up Kids? More importantly, do you enjoy drinking, dancing and the finest in conversation? More»


FrontSPEED QUEEN were a Hard Rocking French quintet originally formed in Mulhouse, Alsace in 1974 under the name BLACK RAT.
Heavily influenced by the Heavy Rocking style of AC/DC, once they were joined by leather lunged vocalist "Stewy" (aka Martine Himburg), in 1977, they soon changed their name to Speed Queen.

Germany's Syzzy Roxx were formerly known as Gamblin' Crew and describe their sound as 'poser rock'. My first thought is that these guys are kind of amusing. For a start they have a rather, errmm, unusual look (for want of a better description) and whether intentional or not, the bio on their official site is quite funny. For example part of what they say about their growth or transformation from Gamblin' Crew to Syzzy Roxx goes like this, "the Crew was yet accused of just honouring the numerous variations of penetration, Syzzy Roxx go further than that. Political topics are being examined, such as the hostage-taking by full bosomed aliens" and so forth. Maybe it's their sense of humor or maybe something got lost in translation. Either way, it's all sounds quite odd but you can't help but laugh.
