Since May 2010 Norwegian musician and composer Andreas Nergård has written material for a metal musical entitled Memorial For A Wish. "Musicals and concept albums have always fascinated me," Andreas says eagerly. "I created this project because I wanted to make an album with the singers and instrumentalists who have inspired me to start playing music. It's because of them I've become a musician and a composer." And he has an impressive line-up for the musical. The Beginning is an EP containing three tracks off this More»

Full Houze is a five piece rock band (the type with two guitars to give you a clue on their style) from Thessalonika, Greece. The band´s sound is Southern Rock with influences clearly based on the likes of Lynyrd Sknynrd and the Allman Brothers. Certainly Panos Doucas on vocals has got a very realistic American accent and the guitar sounds are quite in keeping (I am reasonably sure it is a Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster dual guitar attack).

After having released twelve albums, Guy Manning thought a short hiatus was in order and it was guitarist/vocalist Kev Currie who suggested to record one of their ‘Akoustic’ sets and release it in this quiet (Manning) period. Says Manning: “I thought this was a splendid idea. It would be a good chance to show off the other side of what the band can do and to put on display, in a semi-live fashion, songs which under normal circumstances the bigger ‘Elektrik’ band would not perform.” Could well be, but as is the case with most of More»

After the first time through Zero Down's Looking to Start a Riot I was not particularly impressed. I felt like I'd heard this kind of dirty Hard Rock/Heavy Metal many times before. But the album started to open up on subsequent listens, revealing powerful riffs, sharp solos and some downright fun songs. More»


now/Featuring Steve Perry

I thought at first that the songs weren´t strong enough but they grow, and I must say that she can carry the songs all by herself with her amazing voice. She has truly played and toured with some of the best such as The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Dave Matthews. And one day in the studio, Steve Perry showed up and it ended with Perry doing background vocals on the title track "Follow the freedom". Unbelievable! That song is also one of the highlights More»
