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.

Album review : HONEYMOON SUITE – Alive
Frontiers [Release Date : 16.02.24] They are indeed, performing here in the instantly recognisable melodic style that defined their key albums. There’s none of the artificial complexity that some bands seem to think is necessary as they move into the … Continue reading
Album review: PAUL McDONALD – Modern Hearts

Album review: FRANKIE MILLER – Full House and Double Trouble (remasters w/bonus tracks)
Rock Candy Records [Release date 30.07.21] With 3 outstanding albums under his belt, but no substantial success, you could have forgiven Frankie Miller for just accepting his fate. Judging by his genre hopping fourth album, Full House, (1978) he never … Continue reading

DVD review: JEFF BECK – Live At The Hollywood Bowl
Eagle Vision [Release date 06.10.17] Also available: CD/DVD, Bluray When I saw Jeff Beck in Birmingham in 2014 I was somewhat underwhelmed. In spite of an audience of a certain age hanging on every note the performance came across as … Continue reading

Album review: ALICE COOPER – Reissues (Trash/Hey Stoopid)
Hear No Evil [Release date 23.09.13 and 27.01.14] Alice Cooper is not an artist whose back catalogue has seen much by way of remastering and re-issues and I’ve longed for Bob Ezrin to dig out the original recordings of Love … Continue reading

DVD Review: AEROSMITH – Rock For The Rising Sun
Eagle Rock [Release date 22.06.13] Much like the Stones who are 10 years their senior, Aerosmith pop up on this DVD like cartoon characters come to life. They rock and roll and charm their way round the post-tsunami Japan on … Continue reading

Music In Another Room [Release date 03.06.13] When it was originally released in October 2011 in the UK and Ireland, Julian Lennon’s sixth studio album failed to tickle the Top 100, and neither of the singles lifted from it – … Continue reading
