THE GRAFENBERG DISCIPLES – NO WORDS – HIGHLANDER RECORDS
Last year I reviewed the debut album, ‘Johnny On The Spot’, by The Grafenberg Disciples and it is safe to say I fell in love with it. Since the album was originally released it has been picked up by Sony and reissued, and the band have added an additional song which...
ARNOLDO’S LIZARDS – SATANIC ATTACK OR DIVINE PUNISHMENT – MELODIC REVOLUTION RECORDS
The latest signing to Melodic Revolution Records is a duo based in Mar del Plata, Argentine, comprising Alvare Goco (vocals and backing vocals) and Jack Dimensions (vocals, backing vocals, piano, keyboards, synthesizers, and programming). For the album they have also...
LITTLE SPARROW – ALONE – INDEPENDENT
There is no doubt in my mind that Katie Ware is one of the most precious vocal talents to come out of the UK, and this her latest release proves that yet again. The new single from the forthcoming album ‘Feather Moon’ was inspired by the novel ‘The Lovely Bones’ by...
The Gardening Club – Strange Kingdom Single – Melodic Revolution Records
Given the way Martin has been recording in the last few years it is hard to imagine that he had basically given up in the musical area and was instead concentrating totally on his artwork. Since the reissue and success of the original ‘The Gardening Club’ a few years...
Potter’s Daughter – Casually Containing Rage – Melodic Revolution Records
Here we have three songs from Potter’s Daughter, showing some different sides of one of the most exciting bands coming out of America at present. Based around the amazing vocals and piano of Dyanne Potter Voegtlin, the first song is a new arrangement of “To My Love”...
Marco Ragni / Björn Riis – Carnival of Ghosts – Melodic Revolution Records
As a taster for the new album ‘If’, which will be out in November, Marco has released the single “Carnival of Ghosts” which comes in at a tad under eight minutes in length. As can be seen from the title, on this album he is working with Airbag guitarist Bjorn Riis,...
UDO PANNEKEET – ELECTRIC REGIONS – IN AND OUT OF FOCUS RECORDS
‘Electric Region’s is the latest solo album by Focus bassist, Udo Pannekeet, and since he started work on it, it has taken some five years to complete amidst his other recording and touring duties. It also features guest appearances by current Focus guitarist Menno...
TWELFTH NIGHT – A NIGHT TO REMEMBER – INDEPENDENT
It has been a very long tine indeed since I have been able to write anything remotely critical about one of the best progressive rock bands to come out of the UK and I am certainly not going to start now. They may have released just four studio albums during their...
THIS WINTER MACHINE – THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS – PROGRESSIVE GEARS
After hearing and really enjoying the recent second album from This Winter Machine, ‘A Tower of Clocks’, I have worked backwards and am now playing their debut from 2017, ‘The Man Who Never Was’. This does have a slightly different line-up from the next album, as here...
BLIND EGO – PREACHING TO THE CHOIR – GENTLE ART OF MUSIC
For a band who are on their fourth album, releasing their debut ‘Mirror’ as long ago as 2007, it seems a little mean to point out that this is actually a side project of RPWL guitarist Kalle Wallner, but given he will always be associated with them, it has to be done....
