Review: Babylon A.D. – When The World Stops Kivel Records (September 1st 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster I was going to lead with how the name Babylon A.D. (BAD) conjured up the whole hair metal era, names such as Autograph, Black n Blue, Britny Fox, The Scream, Nevada Beach and so many more besides. But, […]
Review: Robert Jon & The Wreck – Heartbreak & Last Goodbyes Journeyman Records (August 22nd, 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster I think it’s fair to say that bluesy Southern rock is in a fairly healthy state right now. The standard is as high as it’s ever been. Although with the retirement of the Steel Woods […]

Review: Adam Bomb – LIVEDREAM Black Chrome (June 6th, 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster Adam Bomb is a survivor. A road dog. A rock n roller. He has worked with the likes of T.K.O., Black and Blue, John Paul Jones, Cliff Williams of AC/DC and Michael Monroe amongst others. Adam is still out there playing […]
Review: The Devil Wears Nada – Postalgia Eonian Records (May 23rd, 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster Formerly known as Adecence, The Devil Wears Nada hail from Falkoping, Sweden. The jaunty name change doesn’t really give away too much of what the band are like musically. But being from Sweden, if you hazarded a guess and said melodic hard […]
Review: Anthony Gomes – Praise The Loud Rat Pak Records (April 25th, 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster ‘’You take some Muddy Waters and you turn it up to ten.‘’ The first line from the title track of Anthony Gomes’ new album. I can’t remember how or when it was that I first hear of Anthony Gomes. Was […]
Review: King Kraken – March Of The Gods Self-Release (April 18th 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster There’s heavy and there’s heavy. A startling statement to open this review! King Kraken are heavy, but not old school heavy. With influences such as Mastodon, Clutch and Sabbath, these Welsh rockers are groove heavy. ‘Scream‘ opens the album […]
Review: Cry For Mercy – This Machine Self-Release (April 4th 2025) Reviewer – Grant Foster You know when you’re sure you’ve started something, only to look for whatever it is and realise you actually hadn’t? Exactly as I did with this review. I could have sworn I’d started it. Ho hum. Anyway……….Cry For Mercy hail […]
Review: Dirty Honey – Mayhem & Reverly Live Dirt Records (February 21st, 2025) Reviewer: Grant Foster These Californians have already got themselves a burgeoning reputation in the hard rock field. After just two studio albums, they’ve decided the time is right for a live album. They come from the old school where ‘live albums have […]
Review: The Heavy Souls – Have You Got Soul TMR Rock Records (January 31st, 2025) Reviewer: Grant Foster I’d never heard of this band, but took on the job of reviewing this, their debut album, on hearing a snippet of ‘Sleepwalking‘, one of the tracks that appears on this album. They hail from Sheffield and […]
