Album Review: Andrew W.K. – You’re Not Alone
The funny thing about Andrew W.K.‘s music is that it seems to operate completely independently of your volume control. It’s loud. It’s so loud that after each song, the mind is completely eviscerated – the feeling you get when you hang your head out of the window of a speeding car. There’s no greater feeling …

“An Evening With” is becoming an ever more popular way of touring, Halestorm graced us with their “Evening with” last year, but only playing two dates across the country (Liverpool and London).

Not Forgotten: Fuzzy Duck
Sometimes curiosity can get the best of most of us.

Album Review: Wolfmother – Victorious
Man, do you remember back in 2005 when Wolfmother dropped their debut album? That glorious mix of proggy, organ-drenched, chunky guitar goodness that reminded us that Uriah Heep were pretty cool(at least Ken Hensley’s bits) and that Robert Plant would’ve sounded pretty damn cool fronting Black Sabbath. Yeah, I remember that self-titled well. There was …

Halestorm are a band you have to see live to truly understand what they are about. The Grammy award winning hard rockers have been through the whole sweaty, dingy club show rite of passage that nearly every band has to take before they can hit the big leagues and it shows in their performances.
