This song celebrates the friendship between these two bands. PARADISE ALLEY (England)'s frontman Steve Vincent met PLASTIC TEARS (Finland)' frontman Miqu December in 1992 at the Hellfire club in London. These weren't the best times for rock'n'roll, but there was still a scene and both vocalists were about to start their own bands. PARADISE ALLEY... Continue Reading →
Helsinki's 70s rock influenced band The EMPIRE STRIKES are back with 12 songs. I guess opening an album with a song called "The End" is an interesting move especially when the song has a tragic and grandiloquent feel to it. Even though songs like "Danger", "Leeches, Lies and a Mighty Hoax" or"Amor Por La Vida... Continue Reading →
(-review by Moses Midnight) "Wait until I'm dead and you will see what all the fuss is about..." (-Dogs D'Amour) Hollywood Rocker, cult-figure, quick-draw artist, and suave black magician, Evad Fromme lived with the immortal and mythological, galactic kid, Alistarr from the Ultras, on Hollywood Boulevard during the late eighties/early nineties English Acid glitter daze...

(-review by Moses Midnight) What a lovely surprise! I didn't even know that anybody made bands this cool, anymore! It's just really, really good, and pretty, and heartfelt, honest songs about frustration, desire and wanting, the conscience at war with the big programming, lust in the dust, innocence and experience, when one's heart keeps calling,...

When Show-biz Al put his brown leather strides from the Motor video up for auction, I was asking myself if we really needed a car. They... Continue Reading →
If you were into 00s powerpop/glam, then you probably remember Los Angeles band TSAR. If you don't, then rush and grab their albums! 3 members of TSAR play in The BROTHERS STEVE, but the music of the band is more influenced by TEENAGE FANCLUB, GUIDED BY VOICES or The KINKS. The 60s powerpop influences perfectly... Continue Reading →
Las Vegas Psych mods The LAISSEZ FAIRS are back with this 16 song album (double album?) on Rum Bar Records. Opening song "Long Grow The Marigolds" brings you back to 60s psychedelism before "Phantom Stranger" will make you space dance! "My Thursday" Girl" has a bit of an early BOWIE vibe, "Mister Wryly" and "We'll... Continue Reading →
Los Angeles rock'n'rollers The Claws (featuring The Last Vegas' vocalist Chad Cherry) release "No Connection", a song that will be featured on their upcoming album to be released this summer. Keep your eye on these cats! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQFDI03QUhw https://theclawsrock.com/
(-REVIEW by Moses Midnight) ATTITUDE AND SOCIAL CHANGE 1983 was the year we first formed our goth gang. We were dirty and sweet untamed youth, a loose collective of much hated misfits, new wave poseurs, Smash Hits magazine readers, and Baby Bowies, discovering new music and makeup and styling products, just kissing to be clever....
