Review: The Winery Dogs/Inglorious O2 Ritz, Manchester, 4 Feb 2016 Reviewer: Peter Scallan At only just over £20 a ticket this seemed like an excellent value for money double bill combining the excellent and upcoming Inglorious and the seasoned pros of Messrs Kotzen, Sheehan and Portnoy of The Winery Dogs. As I was going to […]

Review: Grand Slam – A New Dawn
Review: Grand Slam – A New Dawn Escape (Feb 2016) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Grand Slam are another melodic rock band coming off the Swedish production line although they do offer some variation in sound and style from the ‘Scandi rock’ formula.

Review: FM – Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh, 24th Jan 2016 Reviewer: Peter Scallan The mighty FM are out on a short jaunt round the UK and this is only the second night of the tour. For any aficionados of melodic rock or AOR these guys need no introduction. The last album in my humble opinion is […]

Khymera – The Grand Design Frontiers Music Srl (Dec 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Khymera is another Frontiers project band that has been kicking about for quite some time.

Review: Blood Red Saints – Speedway
Blood Red Saints – Speedway Frontiers Music Srl (Dec 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Speedway is the debut album from Blood Red Saints and at first sight I thought this was going to be another Frontiers ‘project’ band. However, while these guys have a huge amount of experience, Pete Godfrey (In Faith) states his motivation was […]

Review: Alice Cooper/Mötley Crüe Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle 2 Nov 2015 Reviewer: Peter Scallan It’s been a long time since I saw either of these acts. It was 1989 and 1986 respectively at the Edinburgh Playhouse, although if I am honest I only went to see Mötley Crüe as Cheap Trick were the support. […]
