Review: Beggars Bliss -Beggars Bliss Self-Release – May 20th, 2026 Reviewer – Grant Foster Bouncy, catchy, bluesy, a large hint of Southern. They were the first words that I typed on listening to this album by Derby based outfit, Beggars Bliss. Formed in 2024, this their debut offering and deals in all of the above. Opener ‘I Am […]
Review: Jayler – Voices Unheard Silver Lining Music – May 29th, 2026 Reviewer – Grant Foster This West Midlands four piece’s recent profile is highly impressive. A rake of high profile support slots in the U.K. and abroad that most young rock outfits would give their eye teeth for. They certainly look the part. Snake skin […]
Review: Robben Ford – Two Shades Of Blue Provogue Records – April 17th, 2026 Reviewer – Grant Foster Robben Ford is a guy whose name I’d heard of, but I’d never heard any of his musical output. Turns out he’s quite a guy. A hugely talented guitarist whether it’s blues, jazz or rock, it’s easier […]
Review: Starbenders – The Beast Goes On Sumerian Records (February 27th, 2026) Reviewer – Grant Foster ‘‘If you’re going to be a fucking rock star, go be one. People don’t want to see the guy next door on stage; they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you’d never […]
Review: Bullet – Kickstarter Steamhammer / SPV (January 9th, 2026) Reviewer – Grant Foster I took this album with just two days until the release date. Oh I do like a challenge! 😆 Bullet hail from Sweden and have been in existence since 2001. I viewed the promo videos for the title track and ‘Keep Rollin’‘ […]
Review: The Deep Strikes – The Deep Strikes Independent (January 1st, 2026) Reviewer – Grant Foster Critics, the world is full of them! Criticism though can be harsh, especially when it comes to music. Songs are so personal. They are like the writers children. So anything negative can hurt deeply. Constructive criticism however is another thing […]
Review: Black Dog Moon – Hell and Back Independent (November 28th 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster Sometimes, just sometimes, you get to hear an album and it’s like, ‘’What the fuck was that?!’’ But in a good way. And the more you listen to it, the more evident it is you have something special on […]
Review: God’s Gift – God’s Gift Self Release (October 31st, 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster Rule Number 1 when it comes to reviewing an album. Try not to leave it until the last minute. I had everything in hand and then without wishing to bore the tits off you dear reader, life conspired against me […]
Review: Whiskey Myers – Whomp Whack Thunder Wiggy Thump Records (September 26th, 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster The wonderfully titled ‘Whomp Whack Thunder‘ is the seventh studio album from this rocking country outfit from Texas. There’s a lot of muscle in the tracks on offer here that you wouldn’t necessarily identify with this style. Dig […]
Review: Hartmann – Twenty Times Colder Sonic 11/ Pride & Joy Music (September 19th 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster The good thing about this job, is that most of the time, the bands I get to review, I have never heard of before. It opens my eyes to other styles of rock music, that otherwise […]
