LAROCHE – Dancing After Midnight Vol. 22 Lost UK Jewels 2021


LAROCHE – “Dancing After Midnight” Cd will be released as Vol. 22 of the “Lost UK Jewels” Series, in February 2021.
To introduce all of you to the magic AOR/Pomp Rock sound of LAROCHE, here’s a never-seen video for the song “Long Distance Lover”.

The video was edited together by Nixxi Gilbert, LAROCHE keyboards-player, using “old camcorder footage found in the drummer’s attic”. The original video picture quality was quite poor, but Nixxi worked on it, improving a bit and editing it together with the studio version of the song.
That was made just for fun and for anybody to see how LAROCHE looked back in the day… damn, those chicks looked hot!!!

FM – Tough It Out Live 2021, 2 CD


On April 9, the classic AOR band FM will release the album “Tough It Out Live” via the company Frontiers Records. Here’s how to read a press release:

FM are celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their second album “Tough It Out” with the release of a new double live album, ”Tough It Out Live”. Originally released by Epic Records in 1989, ”Tough It Out” broke into the UK Top 40 and saw contributions from songwriting luminaries such as Desmond Child (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, etc.), Jesse Harms, Robin and Judith Randall (Mark Free). The record is understandably regarded as a Melodic Rock / AOR classic and the band played it in its entirety on their last shows of 2019 in the UK and Germany to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release. In addition to the trac

Fancy – The Complete Recordings, 3CD Clamshell Box Set 2021, Cherry Red Records


In 1973, Fancy came together around producer Mike Hurst – alongside guitarist Ray Fenwick and bassist Mo Foster – to record a glam rock cover version of The Troggs’ hit ‘Wild Thing’. Issued on Atlantic, the single was a U.S. hit, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 (it also reached #31 in Australia). Prompted by the success, a touring band was assembled with new singer Annie Kavanagh. And an album, Wild Thing, yielded a second American hit, ‘Touch Me’.

• In summer 1974, Fancy signed to Arista, and embarked on a U.S. tour, supporting Kiss, Wishbone Ash and Steppenwolf (in early 1975, they also supported 10cc at the Hammersmith Odeon). The new deal led to a second album Something To Remember (re-titled Turns You On in the States), promoted by two singles, ‘She’s Ri

J Mascis – Fed Up And Feeling Strange – Live And In Person 1993-1998, 3CD , 2021 Cherry Red Records


Having established Dinosaur Jr as a mainstay of, and influence over, the alternative scene by the mid-1990s, J Mascis began to venture out alone, performing acoustic sets of his band’s material, alongside occasional cover versions. ‘Fed Up And Feeling Strange’ captures three shows recorded across the decade, shedding a fascinating, low wattage light on J and his songs.

‘Live At CBGB’ captures J’s first solo show, performed at the legendary New York club in December 1993, whilst ‘Martin + Me’, which now includes a previously unreleased bonus track, was recorded during a 1995 tour of the USA. Completing the set, a previously unreleased third show, recorded in Copenhagen in 1998, showcases songs from across Mascis’ career, including mate

Modern Hinterland – Diving Bell 2021


Recorded in just three days at Embassy Studios in Hampshire (co-owned by Darrell Higham best known for his work with Imelda May) and co-produced by Graham Dominy (Robert Plant, Biffy Clyro) the album captures the sound of a band on fire. No click tracks, no fancy edits, just a band in a room turned up loud.
