AC/DC clone, which is all but negative here, that simply grabs you by the balls. After some rather quiet years, the Australians return with “Boneshaker“. Dry, irresistible hard rock which pretty much captures the live atmosphere and energy of the band like no other studio effort before. Well, of course, expecting new sounds is definitely not appropriate here but that’s probably something which fans of the Australians and their obvious idols look forward to least in AIRBOURNE.

In the 1970s double live albums were often the calling card of an act that had either made its mark or were about to explode to international fame. Angel was no exception as all eyes had been on the band for some considerable time in preparation for an anointment to the premier league. With five studio albums behind them there was no shortage of material from which to compile this album. Recording two concerts in California during 1978 plus some surprises like the Mott The Hoople standard ‘All The Young Dudes’ and a brand studio track, ‘20th Century Foxes’. The record failed to connect in the way that everyone had hoped for as also their label Casablanca Records were fast losing traction. Rock Candy re-issue. Learn More

ANGEL, one of the most representative acts from the early American pomp AOR scene, for their last album "Sinful" changed the musical focus to a more commercial FM-friendly style. For years a cult recording and quite hard to find on CD, it's being released digitally remastered by the British label Rock Candy. "Sinful" is just filled to the brim with great poppy/rockin' songs. In fact, with this album Angel predated the hair metal movement by 4/5 years spicing the melodic & catchy melodies with late seventies hard rock undertones. A departure from their pomp origins, "Sinful" is the more accessible and radio friendly album by Angel, ironically their less popular and a commercial failure mostly due the scarce label support.

Mostly pretty AOR and never too sophisticated when it gets progressive, “In Pursuit Of Memory“ offers versatile songwriting. Listening to “Flesh And Blood“ or “Supernova“ alone will easily convince you to dive into the world of ATLAS. That’s exactly how contemporary AOR in the vein of W.E.T. should sound like. Guest vocals by Sam Millar (BIGFOOT). ATLAS: Definitely a band to remember! 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

JEAN BEAUVOIR is back, although he hasn’t really been away. Outstanding, too, is the acoustic version of “Standing On The Corner For Ya“ at the end of the fully remastered record. Learn More

It’s a fascinating mixture of melodic rock, hard rock or rather pop-like sounds. It’s the perfect introduction to the work of JEAN BEAUVOIR. All tracks of probably one of the last true rock stars out there have been carefully remastered and at times appear in a different light. 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.

English hard/melodic rock outfit BLOOD RED SAINTS change their direction at times on their third album since the incarnation of the band which took place in 2014. But don’t be (too) afraid, they are still there, the great hooks (e.g. “Crash Into Me“, “Message To God“ or “Warrior“). Tracks like “Believer“ and “Animals“ or the powerful title track on the other hand have a more modern approach, just like the pre-album single “Warrior“. Learn More
