South of Reality – The Truth Behind the Lies 2018


Like Lynyrd Skynyrd meets 80’s Van Halen,I love it when a band has the stones to include an instrumental piece (or two) on an album. (The constant chatter of pop music has made instrumentals into a lost art form.) Combining their classic, southern-rock sensibility with world tones and rhythms, Boko Haram (Child Bomber) is worthy of its spot as #3 on the album.

Ragdolls ‎- Old Habits Die Hard 2018


“The mid-1980s were a colourful, joyfully explosive time in hard rock circles and the huge-haired, tight-trousered boys of LA’s Sunset Strip dominated the scene. Any band that could pull on a pair of cowboy boots and empty an entire can of Aquanet onto their backcombed barnets became the darlings of the music industry and were snapped up by record labels eager to find the next big thing.#Although the epicenter of this rock-quake was distinctly Californian, its shockwaves were felt globally and pretenders to the party-hardy, good-time glam throne that were less

Tango Pirates – In Transition 2017


The first thing that strikes you is the records line up, an ensemble cast that is nothing short of a who’s who of sleaze rock past and present, an after dark, underground, super group…if you can imagine such a thing. With Danny fulfilling the front and back roles of vocals and drums and the rhythm section completed by Vera Wild and Dave Tregunna, it is the revolving door of guitarists including Luca Commencini of Spizz Energy, Marc Oliver of Plastic Heroes and Jelly’s Mickey Howard – that show Danny’s credentials, most bands would kill to have just one of these guesting on their record.

TRACKS: You Are Loved, GLM, I’m Not Talking About Religion, I Question It, You Found Me, I Just Can’t Let Go, Unconditional Love, There is a Love, Calling To You, Final Hour, Life Begins at the Cross
