FRANK MARINO – THE POWER OF ROCK AND ROLL [Rock Candy Remastered] 2017


Sharper, infinitely more focussed and taking no prisoners, the eight tracks are veritable firecrackers, making good on his intent to deliver a record that, by all rights, should have catapulted him to sizeable success beyond his cult appeal. Songs such as ‘Ain’t Dead Yet’, ‘Runnin’ Wild’, ‘Crazy Miss Daisy’ and the frenetic, almost speed metal, pace of ‘Go Strange’, leave little room for any argument that Frank was losing his focus or resting on h

Wonderland – Seven Wonders And Four Little Miracles 2017


“Hard Rock in the verses, AOR in the choruses, progressive rock in the instrumental sections, a somewhat simplistic way in trying to describe Wonderland. The best example of this is perhaps the epic “ballad turns into hard rock turns into progressive rock”-song, In Too Deep with it´s wonderful guitar- and synthsolos. 8 out of 10!”

Mammoth Mammoth – Mount The Mountain 2017


Mammoth have produced a spectacular hard rock album, using raw production, aggressive instrumentation, and great songwriting. Opening track “Mount The Mountain” has a fantastic guitar line and a solid chorus.
“Spellbound” blew me away with its grinding beat and well developed lines. The rhythm is similar to Monster Truck‘s brilliant 2016 offering “Don’t Tell Me How to Live” but with way more flourish. Check out the video below. “Hole In The Head” and “Procrastination” to a large extent, are American Dog. “Wild And Dead” is also pure sleaze, in the style of

DON JAMIESON – Communication Breakdown 2017


The title and cover photo come from my Rutgers University senior yearbook photo. My young nieces and nephews found it at my mom’s house and starting texting me how funny it was and when I saw it again after so many years, I agreed! I majored in communication, so it was just a matter of adding the “Breakdown” to it which is obviously, something you never want to happen in comedy.

BROKEN TEETH – Four on the Floor 2017


2017 release from the hard rockers. Twenty years after seizing power in Austin, Texas, rock-roll battering squad Broken Teeth throw it’s hardest punch ever after signing with Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and former Corporate Punishment President Thom Hazaert at their powerhouse EMP Label Group.

“I’ve had my eyes and ears on Broken Teeth for a few years now and have a history with singer Jason McMaster,” Ellefson said. “It was only a matter of time until I found a way to partner with them. Given their reputation as a crushing live act, along with their previous string of classic
