  • Guttercats “Beautiful Curse”

    Guttercats “Beautiful Curse”

    Reviewing a band you played in is far from being the easiest thing to do. Although I wasn’t a full time member, I helped them out for more than a year, played quite a few shows with them and recorded half of their previous album “Black Sorrow.” Anyway, it was a few years ago, so Read more

  • Duncan Reid And The Big Heads – “C’Est La Vie!”

    Duncan Reid And The Big Heads – “C’Est La Vie!”

    DUNCAN REID (ex-The BOYS) is back with The BIG HEADS and a fantastic new record (“The Difficult Second Album”) out on Wanda Records. We had to ask him a few questions about the band, the album, The BOYS, second albums and French literature! How would you compare “The Difficult Second Album” to the first one? Read more

  • Eldorado “Babylonia Haze”

    Spanish hard rock with a big DEEP PURPLE influence and psychedelic touches. Good looking digipack, solid musicianship and great vocals in that style, but speaking of style… I can only admit that this isn’t my style at all… So, even though opening song “Mad Woman” is quite impressive, and “Evil People” confirms that ELDORADO really Read more

  • Rebel Hotel “The Way I Am/Overflow”

    Two songs from L.A. based REBEL HOTEL, “The Way I Am” and “Overflow.” Think modern hard rock with a punky edge, sleaze rock flirting with Californian punk rock, VELVET REVOLVER jamming with the DEAD KENNEDYS? Maybe not, but something close!… These guys like their heavy guitar riffs and high-energy drum beats, and you’ll also find Read more

  • Los Pepes “For Everyone”

    Los Pepes “For Everyone”

    Another great looking record (cool colourful collage art-work/poster!) released by Wanda Records. London’s LOS PEPES offer us 12 punked-out power pop songs somewhere between The RAMONES, The EXPLODING HEARTS, The BOYS, EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS and The BUZZCOCKS. When opener “All I can Do” does a fantastic job to get you hooked up with Read more

  • Vicky Hamilton – “I decided to be the best female RnR manager in the world…”

    Vicky Hamilton – “I decided to be the best female RnR manager in the world…”

    If you own more than one 80s glam metal album then you’re probably familiar with the name Vicky Hamilton, since you could see it on almost every thank list on these vinyl inserts. I briefly met Vicky at Bar Sinister in L.A. in 2005, and when Robbie Quine (The BARBARELLATONES) told me “You should talk Read more
