From the start, on Frenetic Traffic, the tone is given. A muscular intro on the drums, a perverse guitar riff, Aérosmith style, Sylvaine’s high and powerful voice, a chorus in chorus, a hot and melodic guitar chorus played like Jimmy Page, in short, all the ingredients are There to make this title unstoppable, and, make us salivate for the sequel.

Dancing with the Devil, with his riff with the Thin Lizzy, and, his choruses hot, distilled

WILDE JUNGS – Unbesiegt 2017

Wild boys are wild guys, and there is nothing in between. A bunch for life, not to the mouth, uncompromising, ready to go with “Undefeated” the next step. “What we have built up, you can not buy with money,” says Tyson.

In the big punk bands of the country I recognize at least a long time no resistance. “Enough talked. Appearance Wild guys. The new invincible size of the German rock landscape.

Sonny Landreth – Recorded Live in Lafayette 2017


After a dozen acclaimed albums, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth found himself at an artistic crossroads. He finally wanted to create the full-length acoustic collection his fans had long requested, but he was also itching to capture the sound of his stalwart electric trio augmented by a couple of his favorite collaborators.
