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

The Almighty – Welcome To Defiance – Complete Recordings 1994-2001, 7CD Box Set 2021


Scottish school friends Stump Monroe (drums), Floyd London (bass) and Ricky Warwick (guitar, vocals) formed The Almighty with guitarist Tantrum in 1988.
After recording three LPs of hard-hitting rock and metal for Polydor Records between 1989 and 1993, The Almighty signed to Chrysalis Records in 1994. Shifting to a sound more informed by the punk that had initially inspired them, their punk rock credentials were further brought to the fore on “Crank” (1994) by the Jamie Reid cover design, famed for his iconic and highly influential Sex Pistols artwork. Featuring the singles ‘Wrench’ and ‘Jonestown Mind’, “Crank” reached No.15 in the UK charts.
