Exclusive reviews and promo records


The great rockin’ that open the album “I Need the Fire” is one of best tunes of the record with exceptional guitar riffs and a catchy chorus. The hearfelt ballad “In my Eyes” is another gem as the poweful “Striking”, a song that will blow you with it’s dynamic and the great chorus and last but not least is the catchy “Fly by Night”.

Two Of A KindTWO OF A KIND, in my opinion, is amongst the top 10 releases in 2007. Centred around the velvety yet strong vocals of Dutch singers Esther Brouns and Anita Craenmehr (ex- Night Shade and Fast forward respectively), the mastermind behind this project is the talented Fred Hendrix, founder of two of my favorites bands from the fluffy side of the Melodic Rock / AOR genre: Terra Nova and Aquila.

Open Up
The music on the CD is soft Westcoast/AOR/Poprock in the style of RICHARD MARX, RICK CUA, KYLE VINCENT, JOHN TAGLIERI... It’s very soft at times, and 80s inspired, radio-ready fun summer poprock/pop/westcoast like a calmer version of NELSON.

Frame Of Us
“Frame of us” is the brand new debut album by Italian AOR band “8-IS”. Having caused quite a stir in melodic rock circles, “8-IS” have delivered a very strong debut full of authentic AOR tunes which have led many to compare them to Swedes “Houston”; yet the Italian group differs considerably from the Swedish.

After the suitably titled ‘Intro’ instrumental Guild Of Ages show their love of a little prog on ‘Deep In Heaven’, that deftly mixes melodic rock and a few extended musical passages. The song’s intro sweeps in on a glorious mix of keys, strings and guitar.
