  • Jolly Power “Like An Empty Bottle… Again”

    It seems like this Italian band has been around for quite a long time since they released their first demo in 1991, and from what I understand this album is a re-release of the one that was out in 1994 which was only available on tape at that time. I guess that’s why you can… Read more

  • Jack Scratch “2012”

    This is a collection of songs the band recorded between 1988 and 1991. The two first songs (“Broken Dreams” and “Promises”) show some early US hardcore influences (BLACK FLAG, CIRCLE JERKS…) while “Hold On Me” reminds me a bit of TSOL and “Passion Fashion” explores 70s rock territories. JACK SCRATCH are from Chicago but there’s… Read more

  • Hellectrokuters “Rock’n’Roll Beggars”

    AIRBOURNE probably helped AC/DC influenced rock’n’roll to get back to the top of the bill. Bands playing the good old Angus kind of riffs can be found everywhere around the world nowadays. HELLECTROKUTERS, from Paris, France are a good example of what a band should do when they want to celebrate the power of Australian… Read more

  • Glitter Magic “Bad For Health”

    Despite having “Glitter” in their name, these guys from Brazil don’t play 70s glam rock, they’re more into modern heavy metal. Think of Zakk Wylde kind of guitars (sometimes almost nu-metal) and vocals sometimes reminding of WEDNESDAY 13 and TESLA (“Living On Addiction”, “Loveproof”…) A song such as “The Dreamers Disease’ also shows more 80s… Read more

  • Fuel From Hell “Easier Said Than Done”

    Despite the bio saying that this album is a must have for MÖTLEY CRÜE/POISON/QUIREBOYS fans, what we have here sounds more like DOKKEN/GREAT WHITE/GOTTHARD/ WHITE LION or other melodic hard rock acts. Maybe the band was more into sleazy rock when they started back in 1998. Anyway, the Italian band’s music is pretty solid and… Read more

  • Federico Bruno “A Gentleman Loser”

    First solo album for Italian acoustic songwriter/rock’n’roller Federico Bruno. The ghosts of Nikki Sudden, Johnny Thunders and the shadow of Tyla are wandering all around this album: Heartbreak songs and Stones guitars, wine and cigarette vocals… It’s all on here. When you think about it, there’s not that many people left doing this kind of… Read more
