If you can't find what you're looking for - or wish to refine your search to include only references to the key search term - try putting inverted commas around the search term e.g. "Steve Lukather" or "Black Star Riders"
For example if you enter Black Star Riders the results will include all instances of "Black" "Star" and "Riders". The search will also be slower.

Gig review: RAMMSTEIN – MK Dons Stadium, Milton Keynes, 6 July 2019
Driving towards MK Dons stadium pre gig I saw a sign which could only mean that Rammstein were in town, it stated ‘Warning Special Effects!’. I can’t think of any other band who would require such a notice, however a … Continue reading

Album Review: RPWL – Wanted
Gentle Art Of Music – [Release Date: 17.03.14] There are times, aren’t there, when something is musically so good, so in tune with your own ideas and philosophy, that somehow words don’t really do it justice. I could leave this … Continue reading

DVD Review: JETHRO TULL – Around The World Live
Eagle Vision EREDV982 (4-disc/Book) One of the “strange decisions in rock” in recent years has been that of Ian Anderson to seemingly cast off his first lieutenant: Martin Lancelot Barre. It seems that his trusty cohort since 1969 hasn’t really … Continue reading

Album review: BENT NOT BROKEN – Same Planet Different World
yearningrocks.com [Release date: April 2013] It would be a shame if the second album from this German-based band went unnoticed. From the opening track ‘Watching The World’ the riffs are angular, the songs consistently engaging, and the sense of urgency … Continue reading
