​The band Novelty Island from Liverpool promote their debut album 'How Are You Coping with This Century?'. It is a very rewarding journey through a sunny and psychedelic songcraft. Most of the songs also have a penetrating alt-pop reference. Would a music city like Liverpool and his  ‘Beatlemania’ have something to do with it…

​Although the chance that a German-language rock album ends up in your mailbox is extremely small, it is certainly not zero. After all, Till Kersting's 'Cirkuskind' is one of those. His previously 3 albums were in English, but now he does it in his native language. You can also take the title of the album literally, because Kersting really grew up in a circus family. The often hard life there has certainly not done him any harm as an artist. During his 20 years as a guitarist, he even lent his skills to the grandfather of German rock, legend Peter Kraus.
During 8 songs, including beautiful ballads, Kersting clearly shows what he is capable of. He displays his weathered voice and his versatile creative guitar work with verve.

Jan Jaspers (vocals, guitar), drummer Gert Servaes, Patrick Louis (vocals, guitar) and harmonica virtuoso Fabian 'The Lord' Bennardo form the basis for that exciting sound. The third release 'Love Me Some' is packed with twelve delicious and honest songs. The bonus tracks 'Howl' and 'Mine All Mine were even mixed in the studio by Jim Diamond, known for his work with The White Stripes. Boogie Beasts open in their appropriate blues style. The rough swampy harp and slide guitar, pounding bass lines and drum punches make this all so recognizable. And that is the identity of this band. Highly recommended release !

​Like the bandname suggests: it bangs and it takes you not only by the balls.  Great melodic rocksongs with a lot of catchy rhythms and soulful emotion.

​Jackson Browne always brings a message without preaching, makes a statement, loves people and the world.  Downhill From Everywhere is an soulfull album about desire!

​Powerful and hard-mouthed debut from Belgian guitarband Generator.  One word: great!

​Enjoy the Joy Machine of Mark Rechler’s Circus Mind.  Steamy groovy funky songs with excellent guitar players.

​Shortly after the live album 'Green Room Rumble', Endrick & The Sandwiches come up with a new record. Their third full-length 'Sunny Soul' is now on the shelves. The nine songs were recorded during the pandemic and serve as a reminder of sunnier times. Blues, rock and soul form the divergence. This is music to make you happy..!

Sixt birth in the Intelligent Music Project series from composer Milen Vrabevski.  Hopefully the last creation. Time for a change!

The raw sound of Husky Tones, with that exciting mix of rock, blues and punk sounds, is now exchanged for a more intimate setting. The tandem Bourne / Harper has a new project with Hangover Square. The band Hangover Square is essentially a duo formation, but with that added rhythm section an idyllic spectrum is effected. Together with Andy Edwards (drums) and Mat Sampson on bass guitar, Victoria is responsible for those polychrome sound. Her piano, synthesizer, percussion and vocality are splendid. Chris is very skillful on guitar, in orchestration, percussion and some backing vocals. They made a good use of the lockdown, write a lot of songs and musical arrangements. All this has emerged, as it were, from a colorful darkness.
The release "Painting With An Open Heart" diverges with its harmonic ingenuity and rhythmic resilience. The record sounds contemporary. We were pleasantly surprised, we are a fan, so now it’s up to you ! Handsome.

​As a production manager, Jamie found none other than Phil Andrews. The company went to the NAM Studio in Holt, Wilshire and recorded ten imperfect blues rock songs. It has become an exciting mixture of instrumentals and vocal numbers. But luckily, guitar wizard Jamie doesn't get into that, all too often narrow-minded and one-sided blues rock corner. No, this album is so much more. Variation is one of the strong points of culmination. The blues rocker "Aces And Eights" may open the dance. It would immediately guide the release. Handsome…!

​Although Greg is from Brooklyn, New York, he is one of the hottest newcomers to the Philadelphia blues scene. His success story is also largely due to the three Philly blues and rock veterans who can look back on a more than successful career with an extensive resume. And then we're talking bassist Garry Lee, guitarist Allen James and drummer Tom Walling. The album was recorded in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia and was co-produced by Garry Lee and Mike Tarsia. It's a six-track EP, firmly rooted in the British blues boom, a sound that was so lush in the early 1970s. And that is almost immediately characterized in songs like "Wake Up".
Greg Sover crosses his musical swords with heavy guitar work and blazing solos. The release ends with "Never Gonna Stop", a Jimi Hendrix inspired rock song. Well, the circle is so full for Greg Sover Band. 

​Great versions of even greater songs.  Lovely collection!

​Scott toured first through Europe with the message "Not My President" on his guitar strap.
A political statement with a real message. And that now also translates into these eight songs. Mickelson does not mince words and syringe unsalted his opinion. An opinion that we gladly share. His roots inspired voice and the tight backing are a constant in the song list. Rock and folk inspired songs, some bluegrass and even some Irish tunes. So, highly recommended release…!

After the search in your sorcery mind, you will find an evolution towards ‘Life Motion’.  So far his best creation.  But it’s still waiting for the Bulgarian influence.

​This sophomore album by Nick D’Virgilio must be listened to as a concept album. And in that he succeeded very well. 

​A switch from folk to rock? Benjamin Winter succeeds with this debut as Wolfhunt, thanks to the cooperation with guitar player Jeroen Ligter and his mates of Love Supreme. Interesting debut indeed!

​The album ‘It’s Later Than You Think’ from this Oxford, Mississippi band dates back to 2018. The twelve tracks were recorded in the Dial Black Sound studio in Water Valley, MS Teardrop City is a rock n roll band with a classic country and blues tinge. George Sheldon, Laurie Stirratt, Wallace Lester and Tyler Keith form the basis for this success formation. Innovative sound all this anymore, but who loves a young Stones band or The Kinks, will like this sound also.

If you don't know Torgeir Waldemar (yet), you can meet these tough Noor, on the Labadoux Festival on May 1, 2020 or on April 29 in De Roma room in Borgerhout. The release ‘Love’ is punctuated Americana with a beautiful country and rock undertone ..!

​The release "Moon & Mercury", the debut album by Madison Galloway, is a collection of thirteen songs. Elements of folk, rock, country and blues are combined with worldly music that creates an eclectic sound. Brilliant! 

​The seasoned musician Roeland Smeyers is the driving force behind this Tales project. He went to the Wiserock Sound Studios in Zeewolde and together with drummer Kristof De Weerdt, bass player Christian Allegaert, guitarist Geert Van Kelst and saxophonist / keyboard virtuoso Raf Cornelis, he recorded eleven original songs. Mark Knopfler’s "Six Blade Knife" is a rare cover on this release. Of course Roeland Smeyers is a Dire Straits fan, and that is also characterized in his own original songs. And there's nothing wrong with that, because vocally he is more than pretty close to Mark Knopfler. Although Tales gives a personal touch and swung into his songs. Honor who deserves honor ...Well done Tales… Clever!

​Recommended to fans of Jeff Buckley and rock lovers. 

​Belgium’s most unique musician is celebrating his 70th birthday with a predictable good album. No more, no less!

If you like good vibes and cheerful music, then you should purchase this EP quickly. And know, replay, please! 

​Freeloader is a new 4-piece band from Boston that makes '70s-style, two-guitar rock... "instant classic" is the phrase that comes to mind. Killer songs, amazing sounds. Nat Freedberg (The Upper Crust, Titanics, Satanics) is the main songwriter, guitarist and vocalist. Jim Janota (also of The Upper Crust, Bags) is the drummer. Jim Haggerty on bass, Charles Hansen on lead guitar.
These guys are some of the best rock players to come out of Boston. Produced by three-time Grammy-winner Ducky Carlisle.
