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!!!

Hell Fest is Elite Dark, Thrash Metal featuring Tiago (Hand of Fire/Biogenesis) and Dale Thompson (Bride) – If you were headed to a deserted island and could take only one metal CD with you – this is a bonafide desert island disc!

The message and vocals, Dale put it on, is unbelievable. This album is definitely, is big move to me and my caree

BRYAN DUNCAN – STRONG MEDICINE (Remastered Retroactive) 2021


Bryan Duncan was barely out of his teens when he would gain renown as a member (with Randy Thomas and crew) of the groundbreaking Christian rock icon Sweet Comfort Band. Duncan’s 80’s solo albums have not only aged well for fans, but are still heralded by music critics as “masterpieces” in their own right.

They set the standard for “blue-eyed soul” music, offering up-tempo, danceable pop songs that would become definitive of radio-friendly Contemporary Christian Music! No one would do it better than Bryan Duncan. It’s time his albums get quality reissues that reflect just how special these albums are musically and spiritually. Get all three Bryan Duncan CD reissues – Holy Rollin’ + Whistlin&#821
