<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earlier this year the mighty <b>Wildhearts</b> made a triumphant comeback, after a decade away from the studio, with what is already proving to be one of the best album releases of 2019, <b>Renaissance Men</b>. This EP's lead track Diagnosis, is taken from that aforementioned album, and to be honest was one of the albums strongest and dare I say immediate tracks, definitely one of my favourites anyway. with its slow intro of great melodic riff and guitar feedback, before bursting into life with its venomous lyrical dissection of the medical professions attitude to mental health. A truly great song that has a lyrical theme close to my heart. Next up we have<b><i> God Damn</i></b>, the first of five new tracks recorded especially for this EP's release. <b><i>God Damn</i></b> slams itself into life with a great riff before the rather melodic vocals kick in for the verse, which feature <b>CJ's</b> vocals rather high in the mix, bringing to mind <b>Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed era</b>. The song packs so much attitude and aggression yet remains melodic but heavy) before going off on some great riff journeys ala the<b> Wildhearts</b> of the old days. A great song that should be a bloody blast live. Next up we have a song with a rather self explanatory title, in <b><i>A Song About Drinking</i></b>. This tracks opens with some blistering drums from <b>Rich Battersby</b>. A fast paced punk blast that only really slows down for the chorus. Brilliant. Next up we have <b><i>The First Time</i></b>. A great and rather typical <b>Wildhearts</b> track, possibly destined to be a classic where <b>Ginger</b> and co are celebrating their Renaissance and new lease of life. A heavy but melodic track that only the <b>Wildhearts</b> know how to deliver! <b><i>That's My Girl</i></b> follows, another punk infused rocker, that I can see <b>Danny</b> having heavy involvement in. A great song that brings to mind songs like <b><i>Dancin'</i></b> some of the more rock n roll leaning tracks. Would have made a great <b>Yo Yos</b> or <b>Main Gains</b> track too! Simple yet effective. Great fun song that pays tribute to someone girl! The EP closes out with <b><i>LOCAC</i></b>, Now this track would have been right at home on the<b> Wildhearts </b>divisive and controversial Endless Nameless album or even one of Gingers <b>Mutation</b> projects albums. A great song, full of aggressive vocals and guitar riffs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This EP really does manage to showcase almost every side of the band, with each track reflecting something just a little different, yet the Wildhearts classic sound holding it all together seamlessly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A great EP and together with Renaissance Men welcome additions to one of the worlds most underrated bands catalogue proving there is still life in this band even after all of these years!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Revisions</b> is the forth album released by <b>Promethium,</b> a ten track affair that features acoustic re-interpretations of tracks from Promethium's first three studio albums. Guitarist <b>Daniel Lovett-Horn</b> explains just how this album came into existence:</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"In 2017 we were asked to play an acoustic slot at SOS Festival and without hesitation we said yes. Little did we know that sometimes not everything works acoustically and it isn't as easy as you think? However, after quickly realising that, we re-arranged a few tracks, played a gig and had a blast. So much so that everyone who saw the set were keen to know when we would be making an acoustic CD. What you're holding here are the re-workings of songs from our first three albums as well as a new track that never quite made 'Welcome To The Institution'. Its live, it's raw and it's Promethium"</span></i><br />
<i></i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But how does it sound?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well to be honest, bloody good! By stripping these songs back to acoustic versions it allows their subtleties to shine through, never more so than on <b><i>Visions</i></b>, which features a guest vocal from <b>Hannah Morris.</b> Personally I love <b>Promethium</b>'s full blown metal grandeur, but this acoustic album showcases not only another side of the band but also of the songs themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do yourselves a favour and check this album and band out!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Back In Hell</b> is the debut solo album from <b>Hamerex </b>guitarist / vocalist <b>Steve Blower</b> featuring eleven tracks (approx. 53 minutes) of good old fashioned classic traditional metal. Initially beginning life as a six track min album titled <b><i>Facilis Descenus Averno</i></b>, it quickly evolved into a full length album with updated and improved recording equipment and time. <b>Steve</b> plays all of the instruments on this album as well as writing all of the songs and co-mixing the finished product with <b>Andy Firth</b>. But what does it sound like you ask?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The album opens with the title track, <b><i>Back In Hell</i></b>, with its instant classic metal riff and <b>Iron Maiden / Judas Priest-</b>esque like lead vocals., giving it a great traditional metal / nwobhm feel. Great start. <b><i>The Whisperer</i></b> follows, with its ever so slightly quicker pace, yet more melodic riffs. another great song. <b><i>Whats Left Of Me</i></b> is up next, with its speed metal leanings, and the strongest vocal delivery so far on the album. this song just grows and grows. Definitely one of the albums high lights, as is the next track, <b><i>The Prophet</i></b>. this track has a darker feel to it, but again it just grows and grows, with some great riff and a killer solo. Also once again a great vocal on this one. Next we have a trinity of instrumental tracks, the first being the <b>Wasp</b>-esque <b><i>Arabian Nights</i></b> (think the song War Cry!), then the early <b>Iron Maiden</b> esque <b><i>Out Of This World</i></b>, before the heavier <b><i>The Midas Touch</i></b>, which I have to say is my favourite of the three instrumentals. <i><b>Twisted Evolution</b></i> is up next, dark and atmospheric, with its heavy brooding guitar riffs. Another album highlight for me. <i><b>The Slain / Ties That Bind</b></i> opens with a sinister heartbeat and poignant riff. The vocals paint a very clear and explicit picture. This is a very visual track, almost alarmingly so. The track moves into faster and heavier territory with some Dickinson-esque vocals. A Brilliant track! The albums penultimate track is <b><i>Haunting Misery</i></b>, another traditional metal jaunt before <b><i>The World Is Ablaze</i></b> closes out the album, another strong track with a Judas Priest-esque feel to it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall <b>Back In Hell</b> is a great strong solo effort that effectively showcases Steve's un-doubted talents as both a writer and multi instrumentalist, but I would dare to say could have benefited from more of a band involvement, which I believe would have developed the songs even further.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="border: 1pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0cm;">“Another State Of Grace”</span></strong><span style="margin: 0px;"> is the fourth studio album by UK / American rockers <strong style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: 100%;"><span style="border-image: none; border: 1pt windowtext; margin: 0px; padding: 0cm;">BLACK STAR RIDERS</span></strong>. I expect that any band who has
put out three quite exceptional slabs of hard rock, and losses a key founding
member in the form of one <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Damon Johnson</b>,
is always under pressure to come up with the goods and edge that last release
to keep the fire burning and the fan base growing, but this fourth outing has
another feel altogether – it’s an album that at once seems effortless,
comfortable and one which is destined to become a classic.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">It can’t
be easy being <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Star Riders</b>. On
the one hand, most sane people were delighted when an acceptable incarnation of
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">THIN LIZZY</b> mutated into its own
entity and started to make records that complemented, rather than added to, the
legacy of guitarist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Scott Gorham’s </b>legendary
former band.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />
On the other, the task of persuading people that the band can stand apart from
the Lizzy catalogue and still rally the troops was never going to be an easy
one.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />
That this multinational crew have reached their fourth album with credibility
and momentum intact speaks volumes about the spirit behind the whole thing. The
joy of this ongoing collaboration has long been how natural, unpretentious and
honest it all sounds, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“Another State
of Grace”</b> could hardly be any more at ease with its place in the world.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">After
listening to opening track <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Tonight the Moonlight Let Me Down”</i></b>,
which does evoke some of the most melodic and memorable moments of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thin Lizzy’s</b> back catalogue, especially
when that sax kicks in, you know you have hit on something rather special.
There is definitely a grittiness and rugged swagger to the sound of this new
album that instantly makes it more engaging than its predecessors.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />
Vocalist <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ricky Warwick</b> is still
doing the world’s best <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Phil Lynott</b>
impression, of course (and no, he didn’t sound like that when he was fronting <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Almighty</b>), but he delivers every
line with such conviction and gruff charm that it’s hard not to wonder exactly
what anyone could complain about.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />
In the absence of the real <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thin Lizzy</b>,
for reasons that should be abundantly clear, this is still as close as we’re
going to get.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />
The even better news is that the majority of these songs are good enough to
take the weight.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;">The
build and Celtic drum-fuelled thrust of title track <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Another State of Grace”</i></b>
is quite exceptional. It’s a hard rocker which sits wonderfully well in a long
tradition of songs that old Lizzy fans will be well familiar with. Indeed it’s
that classic sound that feels so real here on this collection, like the patina
of time has sat on these songs for years. Now that, believe me is a real art.</span></div>

End of the World” </span></i></b><span style="margin: 0px;">is a balls-out
rocker, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Gorham</b>’s euphoric presence
underpinning <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Warwick</b>’s fiery vocal.
A highlight with a great hook, wonderful guitars: it has it all. It’s backed by
another great – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘Underneath the Afterglow’</i></b> has a harder edge that will bring a
smile to your face, riff driven and rocking it was the last song written for
the album with music composed by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Gorham</b>
and nephew <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jesse Siebenberg</b> (son of
former Supertramp drummer Bob) with a gem of a lyric by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Warwick</b>.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Underneath
The Afterglow”</i></b> is darker and gnarlier, metallic shades adding muscle to
a blissfully restrained melody, while <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Soldier in the Ghetto”</i></b> is lithe
power-pop with rippling Hammonds, very classic rock at its core.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

In The Line Of Fire” </span></i></b><span style="margin: 0px;">is another
high-energy rocker with a wonderfully screaming solo from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Gorham</b>. It really rocks. <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“What
Will it Take”</i></b> is yet another pointer that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Star Riders</b> are revelling in not being considered merely an
offshoot of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thin Lizzy</b> but are a
real band in their own right. This is a song that should underline that to
those late to that conclusion as it dips its toes in what some might see as
Americana, something <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Warwick</b> has
done a few times on his solo material. It’s quite possibly the most enigmatic
song here as interestingly it still sports all of the traditional elements like
the twin guitar attack, but it’s done via a completely new set of eyes. It also
features a shared lead vocal as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Warwick</b>
teams up with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pearl Aday</b>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

special mention has to go to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Why Do You Love Your Guns?”</i></b> This a
blunt and heartfelt honest lyric from Warwick, which obviously touches on a
subject that is close to his heart. It sends shivers down the listener’s spine

such a sensitive and potentially volatile subject!</span></div>

is another interesting slant on the straight hard rock side, though rock it
does, and ending with and the roots rock strut of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Poisoned Heart”</i></b> – which
has a beating heart made to fill stadiums – the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Star Riders</b> fourth trip down the rock ‘n’ roll highway is

Killer Instinct’</i></b> and ‘<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heavy Fire’</i></b> and it sounds great. The
result is in my opinion very much the most consistent and complete <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black

We might all secretly want them to keep playing tons of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thin Lizzy</b> songs live, but their own material has more than enough
charm, class and power of its own.<br style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-size: auto;" />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ok, so I have to admit to feeling rather guilty about this one. <b>Juan Pablo Mazzola</b> sent me this EP late last year, as it was released and has therefore been available since the beginning of this year!. Ohh well better late than never I guess, but to Juan, I am so sorry that this has taken so long!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now to the EP. Baby Scream return with their latest EP in the form of <b><i>Things You Can Say To A Stranger</i></b>, a great little five track slice of power pop heaven. To be fair <b>Baby Scream</b> seem to have become a one man band as of recent years with Juan Pablo Mazzola handling everything from the song writing, all instruments and production duties, as well as publicity and marketing, along with his various other projects, but the quality has always remained extremely high, as can be heard here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The EP opens with <b><i>Aching Life</i></b>, a mellow, melancholic affair. A great vocal line and some really subtle keyboards / strings backing up a great acoustic guitar and piano track. Great track. Up next we have<b><i> Fake It Til You Make It</i></b>. this track has a slightly more stripped back feel to it, and a slightly more venomous vocal delivery. Another great song. <b><i>Roundabouts</i></b> follows, another great laidback mellow track. The energy and dare I say attitude picks up a little on<b><i> Live While You Can</i></b>, which for some reason reminds me of late 70's Alice Cooper in places, only with Baby Screams classic sound of power pop guitars. I really love this song. The EP closes with <b><i>Somebody Kill Me</i></b> Now, a sentiment I can totally relate to at the moment with all of this continuous Brexit drama going on here in the UK. The song itself is probably the most up-tempo track on the EP, a great song that blends some great Guitar leads with a great honest vocal some what similar to The Rembrandts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Things You Can Say To A Stranger</b> is a great addition to the <b>Baby Scream</b> catalogue, a band who are still grossly under-rated.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Added <b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Ginger Wildheart</b>: "The lead track <b style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">'Diagnosis'</b> is about mental health institutions and the medical health profession in this country, and about how it's letting people down. How the system is broken, and how the suicide rate is not getting any less. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">"Depression and mental illness isn't an issue that attacks any one type of person. Whether you're homeless or if you're rich, this illness is taking people out on a regular basis. The government has pulled most of the funding into mental health research, and as a result people are still ignorant about it.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">"Education is everything. And the more people talk about depression, the more need there'll be for education, and the more people will want educating about an issue that doesn't just affect the people suffering from it, but it affects everyone around them. And when someone is in a desperate position and their hope is taken away, then they're at the mercy of an illness that wants them dead. There's nothing more important in the world than education on mental health issues." </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">So it was little over a week ago
that <b>Ginger Wildheart</b> started teasing the release of a new album, then bang,
there it is titled <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Headzapoppin</b>, <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>available to pre-order straight away through
the Round Records website. The 10 track album will be released later this year,
but those buying it now will get an instant digital download. Now that has to
be the perfect way to get your Ginger fix on! Well as I have been a huge fan of
both <b>Ginger </b>and <b>The Wildhearts</b> since around 1992 and the controversial Mondo Akimbo
EP how could I resist? So what's the album all about? Well I will let <b>Ginger</b>
explain that himself, </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ginger says: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Writing
music is a form of therapy for me. It keeps my mind occupied and ensures that I
live in the moment.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“This album is a
collection of songs written while walking my dog Maggie on early mornings with
very few people around and tons of ideas not suited to either The Wildhearts or
my more rootsy solo albums.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“I figured if this
album merely pays for itself, through a modest amount being actually available,
then my work was worth it, and I subsequently will try to release one of these
mixed packages every year. </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“As of now, before
anyone has heard this grab-bag of brain zaps, I have no idea if people are
going to love this collection of musical mutts or hate it.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“My work here is done
for now. Next stop, your ears. Wish me luck.”</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The best way to describe the overall sound of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Headzapoppin</b> is that is more akin to
Gingers solo out- put prior too his Ghost In The Tanglewood and Pessimists
Companion albums. Giving the fans of Gingers work such as Valor, Yoni, Market Harbour,
555%, Albion and GASS a much needed fix, after his recent change in musical
direction where he has been following a more rootsy musical path. The album
opens with the excellent <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meet My Killer</i></b>. A great riff that
drops into some almost ethereal vocal melodies, and a great chorus hook line! A
great start to any album! <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Catch That</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Stranger </i>follows, opening with a great melodic vocal melody before
breaking down into a great guitar driven track that wouldn't have sounded out
of place on either the Valor Del Corazon or Yoni albums. The refrain just
before the chorus also brings to mind Gingers Mutation project or even the
Wildhearts glorious Endless Nameless era for a brief moment, before the melody
of the chorus kicks back in. A great song!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Up next we have the simply beautiful and melodic <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Saturday
Matinee</i></b>. A wonderfully soft track that I could have imagined easily
worked into something that would have fitted onto Gingers more rootsy Ghost in
the Tanglewood or Pessimists Companion albums. Once again a great song with
some great heartfelt and honest lyrics too! Next we have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yorvik (My Hood)</i></b>. The
song opens with a great bass line which leads into a little ditty where Ginger regales
us with a description of his neighbourhood. Once again a great song that
instantly worms its way into your brain. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Love Is</i></b> follows, a great song with a
darkish moody feeling, in which Ginger describes his views on love, both the
good and not so good points in a way that only Ginger can. A ballad of sorts I
guess, a fantastic atmospheric and moody song none the less. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">As
Theodos Spoke</i></b> is strange little number. Opening with guitar feedback
and a stomping bass line before Ginger slightly distorted vocals kick in. The
song feels like its constantly building towards the chorus section. The best
way that I can describe this track is imagine a cross somewhere between How I
Won the Punk Wars from the 555% sessions and Gingers Mutation projects Frankenstein
Effect. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Boxes</i></b> is a great little melodic rocker with tons of pop
sensibilities thrown in. Next we have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Answer Is Yes</i></b>, yet another great
melodic song that could have been a great Hey Hello track in my opinion. A
great singalong chorus and some atmospheric guitar arrangements. Love it. The
albums penultimate track, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pound coins and Kitchen Roll</i></b> has to
feature some of the most down to earth introspective and honest lyrics ever
written! Once again a lovely simple melodic song that just works so well. The
album closes out with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zap</i></b>. The track opens with a great
single guitar riff, with Ginger singing over it, before more guitars kick in
and the song explodes into life. Once again the lyrics are brilliantly honest
and down to earth!.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Earlier this month I was given the opportunity to take a sneaky listen of the then unmixed debut single, '<b><i>Dirty'</i></b>, from new UK rockers <b>Hardball</b>, and was suitably impressed with what I heard. Now hot on the tails the band deliver the mixed debut EP, and what an interesting little beauty it is too!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">This debut EP delivers three totally different tracks, <b><i>'Dirty'</i></b> the solid hard rocker of a track that is very much in the vein of <b>Wolfsbane</b> and <b>The Almighty</b>. The next track, <b><i>'Ballad Of John Fox'</i></b>, is a completely different monster. A slower dare I say trippyer type of track with a more Indy rock feel, Ala <b>REM</b> or some of the <b>The Wildhearts</b> more trippy moments such as <b><i>Dreaming In A</i></b>. <b><i>'Ballad Of John Fox </i></b>is a real gem of a song that truly showcases this new bands versatility as song writers and musicians. Excellent. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">The third and final song is<b><i> 'Closed For Inventory'</i></b>, a real groover of a track, again showcasing another side to the bands song writing talents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Considering the fact that the guys <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24.64px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">that the guys had the courage to record the song live in</span><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24.64px; orphans: 2; position: static; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; width: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"> White Wolf Recording Studios</b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24.64px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> under the guidance of</span><b> Ian Thompson</b>, this debut EP shows a great deal of promise, and will serve the band well as a sort of demo / taster. Personally I cant wait for the full length album!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">The SoapGirls are on their biggest tour to date over 8 months between Europe and UK and have a new album in the wings. However, this year they are experiencing an unbelievable amount of censorship and hate, waking up to find that Facebook had deleted without warning or chance to save years worth of content build up since 2011 the start of their page with almost 100,000 likes and followers.</span></div>
<div class="yiv3834362885" style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">As their popularity grows, they have been encountering escalating issues with trolls, other bands and more alarmingly a much bigger faceless entity which had the power to have facebook delete the girls fan page of 8 years without justification or warning a monumental loss to the band as they were given no chance to save any of their content but refusing to be thwarted they have since almost 3 weeks ago created a new page with their fans rallying behind them. The constant harrasment impedes on their abilities especially whilst on tour even so much that Their manager's personal profile is regularly banned for 3 month periods while Noemie's profile has been deleted 4 times in the last week “we receive notification about inciting violence and being a security risk and its alarming to appreciate that there is a bigger nameless entity behind them losing a page and getting answers from facebook is like hitting a brick wall.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: black;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now this one is a strange release for me, not that there is anything at all wrong with it, it is after all a great compilation of the legendary <b>Iron Maiden</b> vocalists (<b>Bruce Dickinson</b>) solo out put. Its just the tracks included make very little sense to me to be honest, and yes I do realise that this release is the official sound track to the critically acclaimed documentary of the same name, that tells the story of <b>Bruce Dickinson's</b> (and his then young <b>band Skunkworks</b>), fabled concert in <b>Sarajevo </b>during the height of the <b>Bosnian War</b>. And that is where my confusion stems from.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Firstly, a little history lesson. The event took place in 1994, with Sarajevo under intense bombardment, <b>Bruce</b> and the band risked their very lives and ignored official safety advice to travel to the city and perform the now legendary concert at the <b>Bosnian Culture Centre</b> (<b>BKC</b>). The entire purpose of the trip, in which <b>Bruce</b> and the guys were literally smuggled in to the besieged area, being to tell the citizens of <b>Sarajevo</b> that they were not being forgotten by the rest of the world, despite their isolation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now <b>'Scream For Me Sarajevo'</b> is not just a concert movie, it also reflects on the people of <b>Sarajevo</b> that were taking drastic measures to endure the brutal hardships of war and their struggle to survive. The critically acclaimed film includes footage of the concert, and the war, recent interviews with <b>Bruce</b> and his band mates, and also follows <b>Bruce</b> as he makes an emotional return to<b> Sarajevo</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This release is the official soundtrack to the film, as previously stated, and includes music that spans the entire length of <b>Bruce's</b> solo career, including a couple of rare tracks, and this is where my confusion stems from. The concert took place in 1994, at the time <b>Bruce</b> had released two solo albums, 1990's <b>Tattooed Millionaire</b> and 1994's <b>Ball To Picasso</b>. He had put together a young band of musicians and was writing and recording songs for the album <b>Skunkworks</b>, which was also the banner under which he and his new band were touring, and would release the said album. So surely only material up until this point should be featured in this movie and on its soundtrack? Yet we have the majority of the material coming from 1997's <b>Accident At Birth</b> and 2005's <b>Tyranny Of Souls </b>albums. Strange, but putting that aside hoe does this soundtrack stand up as an album? Well to be honest very well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The album opens with <b><i>'Change Of Heart'</i></b>, the epic <b><i>'Tears Of The Dragon'</i></b> and <b><i>'Gods Of War'</i></b>, all originally from 1994's excellent <b>Balls To Picasso</b> album, that show cases <b>Bruce's</b> versatility and also how much his musical direction had changed since the straight up rock n roll of his debut solo album, 1990's <b>Tattooed Millionaire</b>. Next Up we have the excellent and broodingly heavy <b>'Darkside Of Aquarius'</b> from 1997's <b>Accident at Birth</b> album which flows into the beautiful almost balladesque track <b><i>'Navigate The Seas Of The Sun'</i></b>, which is taken from 2005's <b>Tyranny Of Souls</b> album.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next up we return the <b>Accident At Birth</b> album for the next three tracks, the rocking <b><i>'Road To Hell'</i></b>, co-written with a certain <b>Adrian Smith</b> (<b>Iron Maiden/A.S.A.P./ Psycho Motel</b>). The epic <b><i>'Arc Of Space'</i></b> and the haunting<b><i> 'Omega'</i></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The album then returns to <b>Tyranny Of Souls</b> as a source for the next three songs. The brooding atmospheric, <b><i>'River Of No Return'</i></b>, the rocking <b><i>'Power Of The Sun'</i></b> and the heavy brooding <b><i>'Strange Death In Paradise'.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next up we have one of this releases rarer tracks in the form of a track from the <b>Skunkworks</b> album, <b><i>'Inertia'</i></b>. This is a live version of the track that was only previously available as a bonus track on the expanded 2005 re-release of <b>Skunkworks. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This CD's penultimate track is the beautiful <b><i>'Acoustic Song'</i></b>, a wonderful acoustic ballad that was previously only available as a bonus track on the 2001 <b>Best Of</b> album (Special Edition). The album closes with<b><i> 'Eternal'</i></b>, a beautiful almost <b>Pink Floyd</b> type of a song that was previously only available as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the<b> Tyranny Of Souls</b> album.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So do I understand the track listing in relation to the monumental event that this album and documentary celebrate? No not really, but as a compilation of some of <b>Bruce's</b> finest musical moments, then sure. <b>Scream For Me Sarajevo</b> is a great album / soundtrack that showcases one of Britain's greatest and legendary vocalists at his best in the solo arena.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Very Highly Recommended!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Walking Papers upped the sonic ante with their aptly dubbed second album <i class="yiv0118294282">WP2</i>, released earlier this year from Loud & Proud Records. Once again deploying the in-sync production handiwork of mixmasters Jack Endino (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney) and Martin Feveyear (Mark Lanegan, Kings of Leon, Queens of the Stone Age), and Justin Smith (War Paint, Eagles of Death Metal, The Ravonettes, Queens of the Stone Age) <i class="yiv0118294282">WP2</i> builds on the promising template of the band’s self-titled 2013 debut, which <span class="yiv0118294282" style="background-color: black; color: white;">Classic Rock Magazine called “<i class="yiv0118294282">a masterpiece of mood and tension</i>,” and Rolling Stone Magazine echoed “<i class="yiv0118294282">dark, alternately sensual and sinister</i>.”</span><span class="yiv0118294282" style="color: #353535;"> </span><i class="yiv0118294282">WP2</i> brings the band into their wholly ascendant second phase with aurally galvanizing statements like the savage, swaggering backbeat of “Death on the Lips,” the anthemic buildup of “Red & White,” and the delicate yet forceful declarative shuffle of “Don’t Owe Me Nothin’.”</span></div>
<div class="yiv0118294282" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Walking Papers elevates Angell’s signature character studies in songs like the explosive “Somebody Else” where he croons: “Outside the city’s waiting / for a chance to prove me wrong / She’s trying to talk me into doing something stupid and doesn’t seem to take her very long.” “I live vicariously through the characters in our songs.” Angell explains “It’s healthier for both society and myself that way.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> “A song can say in three verses what takes a novel 300 pages to say by what it leaves to the listener’s imagination,” Angell concludes, With <i class="yiv0118294282">WP2</i>, Walking Papers have inked an indelible sonic contract that guarantees your ears will gladly come back for more.</span></div>

01 - Dirty</div>
<br />
So I have recently been given the opportunity to hear the debut unmixed single from a new project called <b>Hardball</b> featuring the talents of <b>Hung Like Jack</b> drummer <b>Denz 'Gareth' Westgarth</b> with <b>Tim Smith</b>, guitar and vocals, <b>Phil Balles,</b> guitar and bassist <b>Neil MacGillvray</b>. Now to be fair I have to admit to not knowing a great deal about the new project, but I figured that if it featured <b>Denz </b>within its line up is was bound to be a rockin' band, and upon listening to the unmixed single, '<b><i>Dirty'</i></b>, my guess was happily reaffirmed.<br />
<br />
The song opens with single guitar riff before bursting into life as a full blown rocker. The song seems to show case a more hard rock / garage rock sound than <b>Denz's</b> previous outfit,<b> Hung Like Jack</b>, whom seemed to incorporate a more punk rock edge to their music. To be fair I love '<b><i>Dirty'</i></b>, and can't wait to hear a fully mastered EP or album from the guys, as this track shows so much promise. Imagine a tighter, more polished version of <b>Wolfsbane</b> if you will. I bloody love it, especially upon finding out that the guys had the courage to record the song live in<b> White Wolf Recording Studios</b> under the guidance of<b> Ian Thompson</b>.<br />
<br />
A great song that shows a great deal of promise from a brand new outfit!<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">UK metal merchants <b>Promethium </b>return with their third studio album in the form of<b> 'Faces Of War'</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Yet this album is different from its predecessors in the way
that <b>'Faces Of War'</b> is the bands first concept album! Each song telling a
different story of war from a different perspective, dealing with the subject
of Warfare its effects and consequences. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">'<b>Faces of War'</b> opens with <b><i>'Enemies Fate</i></b>', a full on assault
of the senses that really does set the scene for the rest of the album. A great
marching rhythm section and some great guitar work gets this alum off to a
great start. <b><i>'Declaration' </i></b>follows, a beast of a track that is driven by some
great vocals from <b>Steve Graham</b> and fuelled by the great drumming of <b>Kev Yates</b>. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">'<b><i>P.O.W</i></b>.' is up next, a song driven along by the great guitar
riffs, whilst lyrically taking the listener on a journey through the torturous
experience of being a prisoner of war. Great track! </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Next we have <b><i>'Shell Shock</i></b>'. a song that lyrically deals with
the post traumatic stress of conflict, is yet another intelligent assault of
the sense...…Opening as the most subtle and melodic track of the album so far,
before exploding into a full on assault, before once again transitioning back
into a great melodic section, then back again, seriously this album just doesn't
let up! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><b><i>'20.21.15</i></b>' follows, and features a guest vocal appearance
from one <b>Barry Mills</b> of <b>Massive Wagons.</b><span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Great song that also features some awesome guitar work from Daniel
Lovett Horn and Rossi. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><b><i>'Turncoat'</i></b> is up next, a much more straight forward metal track
than its predecessor, twisting and turning riffs, thundering bass
line....perfect.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><b><i>'Stolen Valour' </i></b>is just a brutal and intense assault on the
senses, a truly great metal track! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><b><i>'Final Solution'</i></b> is a very well researched and provoking
lyrical theme, dealing with the Nazi ideals and genocide of WWII, respectful
yet brimming with attitude and intensity! </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">'<b><i>Kill On Demand'</i></b> is the albums penultimate track, is another
great straight forward metal track that benefits from the<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>appearance from the former <b>Eden’s Curse /
Inner Road</b> legend <b>Jay Parmar</b> delivering a Guitar solo of exhilarating finesse.
The album closes out with the title track, '<b><i>Faces Of War'</i></b>, is brimming with a
defiant attitude that fitting brings a truly fantastic album to an end.Over the
course of the bands three releases we have been able to witness <b>Promethium</b> grow
and develop into one of the UKs best metal bands of the modern era.</span></span></div>

<br />
So after much deliberation it has been decided that I will once again resume posting reviews etc here in an attempt to help spread the word about the wealth of great music that is being released. If I am honest I really can not believe that it has been almost a year since I last posted a review!<br />
In the time that I have been quiet there have been great releases from the likes of Judas Priest, who returned with their strongest album in years, Saxon, Ginger Wildheart, Eureka Machines, who blessed us with a great new studio album and a double album of rarities. Releases from The Darkness, Bon Jovi, Eyes of the Raven and so many more!<br />
<br />
I truly hope to keep this little blog going with regular, if at times a little sporadic, updates, and possible the odd little article focusing upon a particular band or artist.<br />
<br />
The first of the new reviews should be posted over the next week or so.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for showing and interest in this little blog, and helping to spread the word about some great music.<br />
<br />

<b>Wildhearts</b> guitarist <b>CJ Wildheart</b> returns with his third full length solo release, and follow up to last years rather excellent release, <i><b>'Robot'</b></i>, in the form of <b><i>'Blood</i></b>', and his musical evolution continues to develop. Gone are the bubble gum pop/punk melodies of his first post <b>Wildhearts</b> solo projects such as <b>Honeycrack</b> and <b>The Jelly's</b>, in favour of the harder edged more riff based direction that began with '<b><i>Robot</i></b>' and its predecessor <b><i>'Mable'</i></b>. I have to say that 'Blood' is some of the most heavy and riff based (and dare I say intense?) material that <b>CJ</b> has put his name to outside of<b> The Wildhearts</b> to date. <b><i>'Blood</i></b>' opens with <b><i>'Tea Leaf'</i></b>, a great track that would have sat well on 2014's 'Mable'. A few electronic samples mixed into some great riffs and <b>CJ's</b> instantly recognisable vocals fitting perfectly. Next up we have <b><i>'Gutless'</i></b>, a song driven along by some great intense riffs, and a song that would have sat well on any <b>Wildhearts</b> release. A great statement of intent, and brilliant indication of what is to follow. '<b><i>Lazybones</i></b>' follows and continues to deliver on both the quality and intensity fronts. Another great riff too! 'Beak' is up next, a slightly more melodic and up tempo track than its predecessors, and a great song to showcase a slightly different side to CJ's song writing talent. <b><i>'50 Percent Indian'</i></b> marks the half way point to this great album, a great song with a great lyric throughout. Next up we have <b><i>'Tired of Sex'</i></b> (surely that cant be true!). Here the keyboards are slightly more prominent, adding atmosphere to this songs fairly laid back feel. <b><i>'Kiss It'</i></b> follows and is a short sharp blast based around a great riff with very few vocals. <b><i>'Plastic Invasion'</i></b> sees things slow down a little and return to the type of blue print used throughout 2014's <b><i>Mable</i></b> album with electronic samples being mixed with some great guitar rhythms and riffs. The albums penultimate track is <b><i>'Itch'</i></b> which follows a similar blue print to its predecessor, and seems to be a rather autobiographical track, concerning the career path the mighty <b>Wildhearts.<i> 'Lost In The Game'</i></b> closes out the album, and is one of the best songs CJ has ever been involved with.<br />
I have to say that <b><i>'Blood'</i></b> is the best album so far from<b><i> CJ's</i></b> solo output. It truly has everything. Intensity, melody, riffs, great songs, brilliant production (once again courtesy of Dave Drapers magical ears!).<br />
This is one album that you really do need to check out! 10 tracks that clock in at around the 33 minute mark, leaving you hungry for more!!<br />
