Review: D-A-D – Speed of Darkness AFM Records (October 4th, 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster There’s a tendency for fans of bands who achieved longevity to want new albums to replicate a sound, or a feeling of a time or release from earlier in their careers. In the case of the crazy Danes D-A-D this may well be […]

Review: Silver Horses – Electric Omega Bad Reputation (July 12th, 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster This is the third release by the Italian outfit which features the Tygers of Pan Tang’s Jacopo Jack Meille on vocals. They already have a varied history which isn’t possible to summarise in this review, but suffice to say this release […]

Review: Maverick – Silver Tongue Metalopolis Records (July 5th, 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster I first encountered Maverick on their ‘Ethereality‘ album and filed them away under ‘Must keep an ear and eye on them’ for any future releases. The Belfast based band’s fifth album, ‘Silver Tongue‘ sees the return of the original line-up. And it […]

Review: Manic Eden – Manic Eden (Re-issue) Music Theories Recordings (April 12th, 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster Originally released in 1994, this absolute gem of an album is as close to a supergroup as you can get in hard rock circles. Except don’t expect hard rock! Adrian Vandenberg, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge were on hiatus […]

Review: These Wicked Rivers – Force of Nature Fat Earth Records (March 6th 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster Right, let’s get straight down to business. I like this album. These Wicked Rivers hail from Derby, but you wouldn’t know it if you saw them or heard this album or caught them live. There’s a natural way about them, […]

Review: Walter Trout – Broken Provogue Records (March 1st 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster By all intense and purposes, Walter Trout is a bonafide blues guitar legend. Thirty albums, working with the biggest of names in his field, whilst fighting his own personal demons and health issues that have been well documented, he has more than earned […]

Review: Jack J. Hutchinson – Battles Earache Digital Distribution (February 9th, 2024) Reviewer: Grant Foster Some of you might wonder how we get allocated the music we review here on Rockposer Dot Com.  Well, it’s simple, we choose what we want to review. No bungs, no backhanders! So, what do I know about Jack J. […]

Review: The Hot One Two – Superbia Self Release (November 10th 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster I love the band name. They hail from Cambridge, forming in 2017, but after signing a management deal in 2022, the band have started to climb the ladder. Or as their bio states, ‘Achieved escape velocity!’ The Hot One Two […]

Review: Dirty Mitts – Hands Off EP Independent (November 10th 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster Something different, as in it’s an EP rather than a full album. Dirty Mitts formed in 2022, a four piece from U.K. Poland and Egypt now based in London. The press blurb used the words ‘raw power’, ‘gritty authenticity’ and a […]
