WINGER Seven (Frontiers)
Winger are a great group of musicians and they write great songs. And ‘Seven’ matches up to their very best work. *****
Review by David Randall
HOUSE OF SHAKIRA XIT (Frontiers)
No question, XIT is a perfect pop meets melodic rock classic, from a band who never stuck to the formula, and thankfully, still don’t. *****
Review by Brian McGowan
ELEGANT WEAPONS Horns For A Halo (Nuclear Blast)
Elegant Weapons have a metal beast of an album on their hands here. Perfect for any fans of Priest, Ozzy, Sabbath and Accept. It is modern sounding metal and production with a classic metal foundation. ****
Review by Jason Ritchie
EXTREME Six (earMUSIC)
This is a great album which finds a band revitalised and they sound keen to prove the naysayers wrong. There are a couple of less memorable tracks but, overall, the songs on offer are excellent melodic rock with some moments of musical brilliance.
It may have been 15 years, but Extreme still know how to rock! ****
Review by Dave Wilson
MVI (Mark Vickness Interconnected) In The Rain Shadow (indie)
The whole album rises above what might disparagingly be called wallpaper music. Not a lot happens admittedly – there’s a consistent and unbroken vibe – but it is a great listen that repays repeated listening. *****
Review by David Randall
LUKE MORLEY Songs From The Blue Room (Conquest Music)
This mellow and beguiling album, with its timeless pop-influenced melodies, demonstrates a totally different string to Luke Morley’s bow and comes highly recommended as the perfect easy listening for the summer’s hot days. **** 1/2
