We'll All Be Heroes - Everything Must Go EP.
We'll All Be Heroes are a four piece band hailing from Northeast England, bring us their very own blend of Post Hardcore Alternative rock. Everything Must Go is a 4 track Ep, with well, four very strong songs .
The songs are heavy, but they've got hooks that Ginger Wildheart would be proud of, and the music, whilst being heavy is still radio friendly, but not in cheesy overly commercial.
The stand out tracks for me are definitely the opening combination of title track,'Everything Must Go' and 'Burn Your Bridges'.
This a very strong release from a young band that are showing a lot of potential, keep an eye on these guys (and gal!) because I think they could be big!

Paddy And The Rats - Rats On Board
Paddy and the Rats hail from Hungary and play a Celtic / Folk / Punk blend of music (and they play it very bloody well thank you!).
Formed in 2008 with the intention of blending the various pub music from different cultures with good old fashioned honest punk, something that they've pulled off excellently.
The band’s first full-length CD, Rats on Board, doesn’t have a bad track among the fifteen songs on it, but my personal faves have got to be,'Bully In The Alley','Hurry Home','Freedom' and 'Pub N Roll'.
This album is filled to the brim with fun, and it'd make a great soundtrack to a night out in the local (doubt you'd manage to stay sober though!).
This is a unique and genuinely brilliant album, by a band who love what they do, very highly recon mended!

Kenni DeNile - Dreamer
Dreamer is the latest 7 track release of melodic rock / pop from Nashville, Tennessee's very own Kenni DeNile.
To be honest opening track 'We Are The Young' sets out the stall, and lets the listener know exactly what they're in for, and that is Journey inspired AOR of a very high standard.
The sound here is very similar to that of Tyketto, and Kenni's vocals have a very Danny Vaughn quality to them, but, and unfortunately there is a but, the production does kind of let the very strong songs down here. The album in general is just a little over produced, making everything sound very clinical and robbing the songs of some of their obvious passion. Still a rather fun and enjoyable album worth checking out.

Cemetery Superfly - Ghost In the Radio
Cemetery Superfly began life back in 1994, in ARLINGTON, Massachusetts
United States. Over a period of time the 'experimental noise' that the guys were toying with started to sound more like songs, now fast forward 16 years and we have their latest release, Ghost In The Radio, which is a 6 track Ep. The Ep is crammed with heavy, melodic music featuring plenty of screaming vocals and three part harmonies, off-the-wall guitar solos and deep, dark brooding melodies with explosive guitar riffs that a 70's era Sabbath would be proud to call their own.
All 6 tracks (well 5 really as the opener is a 1 minute instrumental intro) are all of the highest quality. This is a great enjoyable album in the classic rock / alternative mould, with 'Mad Woman' and 'World Without End Part II' being the picks of the bunch for me.

Voodoo Six - A Little Something For You EP
London based rockers return with a new Ep, A Little Something For You, and sound like they're ready for world domination. This Ep is the first release with the new line up and follows up 2008's debut album 'First Hit For Free'.
A Little Something For You actually gives us 5 little somethings, title track 'Something For You', 'Where You Want Me', 'Take The Blame', ' Live Again' and 'Long Way'.
The guys have really delivered with this Ep, giving us there blend of classic rock with a contemporary edge. All five tracks are absolutely excellent and haven't been off of my MP3 player ever since I downloaded this Digital only release.
The new line up has really come together with new vocalist, Luke Purdie possessing a powerful voice yet he tends to sing in a lower register to his predecessor which seems to add a little more weight to all of the songs.
The Voodoo Six of 2010 are out to prove something to the world again, with veteran producer Mike Fraser, and on this evidence, they won't be taking any prisoners, not many bands get to have two chances but I swear if the full length album is up to the same quality as this Ep then Voodoo Six could be set for World Wide Domination!

Wild Faith - Shabby Road EP
Wild Faith are a classic rock band hailing from Manchester, who count Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and Free amongst their influences. They began as four music students at Wigan and Leigh College in mid 2008.
Wild Faith recently recorded a six track ep (This Ep Shabby Road) at Jaraf House Studios with producer John Kettle.
The Ep manages to showcase some of the various elements to this bands music. With an average age of just 21, the maturity in the songwriting is unbelievable.
Everyone one of the songs on this Ep just ooze class, Opening with 'What Ya Doin' an uptempo rocker, with plenty of tempo changes, and to be honest the standards set.
Next up is 'Cry For Me', which has a real classic feel to it very reminiscent of Free. 'Sweet Feeling' follows, a great grooving rocker, you can really hear the Zeppelin influence here!
'Its Alright' follows, and has a slightly more commercial feel to it, again a great song. 'Don't You Leave Me' is up next and is a great blues rock ballad ala the likes of the almighty Led Zeppelin. 'Crazy Things' closes out this Ep and is another great grooving rocker. This Ep is jammed packed with great songs, and I'm really looking forward to hearing a full length album from these lads, maybe they are the new heirs to Led Zeppelins dormant crown, as they surly have the songs and the ability.
A classic rock band with a modern twist, a damn fine band with some great songs!
Very Highly recon mended!
