Let there be jam! It's safe to say that this is the guideline for the Texas band TIA CARRERA who have also internalized the spirit of Jimi Hendrix. Suddenly Carlos Santana appears (of course, it's the Woodstock incarnation, when he was playing original music while trippin' on LSD) and ...
This disc offers up a full measure of rip-roaring rock 'n' roll goodness and that from a young German band with the unique name THIS IS GHOST COUNTRY!. Now who would have guessed that! Additionally, their filthy sound has been refined with a solid 1970's hardrock-edge. 'Nuclear Sunrise' could ...
With their second album on Crucial Blast, Portland's TREES continue on their path of sonic destruction. Like on their debut album 'Lights Bane', 'Freed Of This Flesh' consists of only two monstrous tracks, clocking in at a running time between 13 ...
Since the birth of Cosmic Lava in 1999, I haven't received much music from Russia for whatever reasons. Thus, I was very pleased when I got an registered letter from there that included the first full-length from THE GRAND ASTORIA. Of course I had never heard of this band ...
Cleveland is another place in the USA where music history has been written during the 1970's, especially in the genre which is known under the name proto punk. Some of the more famous bands are Mirrors, The Electric Eels, The Styrenes and last but not least Rocket From The ...
Basically, Rockabilly is a genre that is free from any surprises. This is also valid of course to other musical genres, but there it is particularly noticeable. I was therefore a little surprised when I listened to the third album from Demark's THE UNTAMED, because 'Delicious Death...' has ...
There are several reasons why I like this band. Some groups are desperately trying to create an individual sound, but TEKHTON don't need to try that because they got it. It's definitely not easy to come up with something new in the doom and sludge genre, but TEKHTON ...
THE MOVEMENTS (For Sardines Space Is No Problem) CD
Behind the somewhat strange album titel lies an interesting story which inspired the Swedish band THE MOVEMENTS to record their second album, released in 2009 by Sulatron Records. It's the true story about the Swedish astronaut Christer Fuglesang who travelled to space in 2009 with shuttle Discovery STS-128. ...
TRIPPY WICKED & THE COSMIC CHILDREN OF THE KNIGHT (Movin On) CD
Due to the style of the colorful artwork of 'Movin On' it should be clear where the journey goes: back to the seventies. But this does not mean that UK's TRIPPY WICKED isn't interested in contemporary heavy rock bands, which leads to the fact that their self-financed debut ...
So far I had no chance to listen to the debut album 'Embrace of the Narrow House' from THE WOUNDED KINGS, a relatively new doom metal band from England. But after listening several times in a row to their second full-length 'The Shadow Over Atlantis', released in 2010 ...
