Review: Vambo – II Pride & Joy Music (October 20th 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster What I knew about this band you could write on the back of the world’s smallest stamp. They hail from London and are always having to answer that no, they aren’t named after the Sensational Alex Harvey band tune. Vocalist/guitarist Jack […]
Review: Bonafide – Are You Listening? Black Lodge (October 27th 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster I’ve been a fan of the Swedes since I heard their second album, ‘Somethings Dripping‘. Which is the album they are still judged by. I even had the honour of appearing on the 2015 release, ‘Denim Devils‘! So, I want this […]
Review: Dead Man’s Whiskey – In The Storm McCall Records (September 29th 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster I’m confused. I took this album to review having previously bought ‘Under The Gun‘ and the EP ‘Breakout‘ by these boys. They had this hard gritty feel to them. Definitely modern hard rock. Admittedly I’m an old school, blue collar […]
Review: The Darkness – Permission To Land… Again (Singles, B Sides & Non-Album Tracks) Warner Music (October 6th, 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster Phew, a lot to get through here. Who would have thought that you could squeeze so much excess out of one album?! Ahem, it’s just me being a sceptic isn’t it? Or do […]
Review: Permission To Land… Again (Original Album & Demos) Warner Music (October 6th, 2023) Reviewer: Grant Foster The Darkness. A real marmite rock band. I know people who love them and people who hate them with equal measure. Mainly, it has to be said because of Justin Hawkins’ vocals. His helium filled falsetto isn’t to […]
Review: Hit The Ground Running – Sudden Impact AOR Heaven (February 14th 2021) Reviewer: Grant Foster Philadelphia quintet Hit The Ground Running. Ever heard of them? No, nor had I, but they hold the title as being one of the most sought after indie CD’s on Ebay, with this original debut release fetching in excess […]
Review: Stephen Crane – Kicks AOR Heaven (March 26th 2021) Reviewer: Grant Foster I’d not heard of this gentleman before I decided to review this release. After a little digging it turns out he is one of those hard luck stories that are rife in the rock and music world generally. Signed to MCA back […]
Review: El Pistolero – Mexican Standoff Metalapolis Records (March 19th 2021) Reviewer :Grant Foster El Pistolero. Sounds Spanish doesn’t it? Or possibly South American? But the truth is that the band were formed in Mannheim, Germany in 2012. This release is their debut for Metalapolis Records. Let’s get straight to the point. These lads are […]
Review: Mike Tramp – Trampthology Target Records (December 18th 2020) Reviewer: Grant Foster The name, Mike Tramp, will forever be linked with White Lion. There are some who may remember him from Freak Of Nature from the 90’s, an underrated band in my opinion. But Mike has pursued his solo career for 25 years now […]
Review: Warrior Soul – Cocaine and Other Good Stuff Livewire/Cargo Records UK (November 13th 2020) Reviewer: Grant Foster Does the world really need another covers album? This is the question I’m gonna judge this album by. In the press release, main man Kory Clarke says – “The album is an incendiary compilation of songs that […]
