A bit unusual and not very straight forward, this piece of music. Mostly rather progressive, quite poppy at times and played on keyboard only and only on those available in the seventies and eighties! The American outfit, lead by none but Mark Mangold (TOUCH, DRIVE SHE SAID) plays their music on keyboards only! Not easy listening this fourth output of AMERICAN TEARS, though, but definitely quite unique in every way. Learn More

Finest British Melodic Rock in the veins of FM, STRANGEWAYS or even DARE that - if you are into the genre - will make you feel at home instantly. Stylistically, "Go Ask The Moon" is a bit more diverse than the superb 2014 debut "Kings Of Nowhere". Learn More

Apart from countless melodic anthems ("Stop Messing Around" or "Gonna Rock You"), "Telefone Line" with its BEATLES or QUEEN flavor completes the picture. A pure gem. Put "Rock Of Life" in the player and the world looks a better place right away. Learn More

The Swedish singer did some convincing appearances in hard rock bands and projects in the past (e.g. COMPANY OF SNAKES). "Stranger In A Strange Land" on the other hand is a comparatively quiet, mostly bluesy and partly rocking and folkish singer/songwriter album. A nice piece of seventies sounding music. Certainly one of the biggest surprises recently. WHITESNAKE veterans Bernie Marsden (g) or Neil Murray (b), among others, are guesting on the album. An album to be paid attention to. Learn More

Swiss outfit BLACK DIAMONDS offers a great bunch of melodic hardrock with a distinctive slice of sleaze. Fans of SHAKRA or KROKUS as well as people who are into RECKLESS LOVE or CRAZY LIXX will certainly find themselves well-entertained. The four-piece seems to have been raised on the likes of GUNS'N'ROSES Learn More

Finest British Hardrock from one of the hottest “new“ bands around - whereas every single member is no stranger to the scene. “Love Hate Conspiracies“, the second BLOOD RED SAINTS album after the well-received “Speedway“ (2015) comes around a bit harder, which certainly goes back to the fact that a second guitar (Neil Hibbs, ex SHY) was added and the keyboards were mostly banned.

On "Snake Eyes", Bride leaves little doubt as to how it not so much has captured a "Snakes…" something like a mix of Skid Row 'Slave To The Grind' era, Guardian and a touch of Stryper. Learn More

By the way, you find countless great hook lines. The usual competitors like HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, CRAZY LIXX or CRASH DIET are heavily challenged by this brillant Swedish outfit. Mighty production by RamPac and mixed by Tobias Lindell (e.g. H.E.A.T., EUROPE). Definitely one of the real highlights in 2016. Learn More

Swedish outfit CODE RED and their pure AOR are fantastic. “Incendiary“ is a true treat for lovers of keyboard-driven sounds full of melody. Frontman Ulrick Lönnquist (SAHARA) and Morgan Jensen (SWEDISH EROTICA) on guitar as well as Michael Palace (PALACE) on bass and Daniel Flores (THE MURDER OF MY SWEET, FIND ME), who also produced the record, on drums create a mighty set of fireworks. “Incendiary“, without doubt, is the AOR record of the year!
