Exclusive reviews and promo records


This Brit melodic act that was founded in London back in 1986 became immediately synonymous with quality melodic rock music. Their debut "City Streets" still stands as a perfect slice of classic British AOR, but also the following releases "Undivided" (2010) and "SOS" (2013) are fine examples of well crafted AOR stuff.

tightKiller production, vocals, and backing vocals! For fans of Oxido, 21 Guns with LaVerde, etc.. If you like backing vocals along the lines of Baton Rouge, then you need this one. I favor tracks 4, 5, and 8 personally, but all are very good. Thanks to Mad_Roy and his awesome mp3 of the title track which had me hooked from the start. I can't believe this came out in 1996!

Hailing from Sacramento California , this first outing from Thick Richard sees a more AOR / Melodic Rock approach as opposed to the Y & T - influenced Hard Rock of the follow-up.

Wisconsin's answer to bands like Warrant, Extreme, Tesla and " High and Dry" era Def Leppard. They were extremely popular for awhile but ultimately split up after only one cd. They do have a bunch of demos I compiled and will throw up here next. Highly recommended to those who are into melodic rock.
