Royal Autumn – Life Is Strangely Accidental 2023

All Exclusive, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


Influenced by everyone from Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac to Judas Priest and Manic Street Preachers, with a philosophy of complete freedom, Royal Autumn take pride in their “We write whatever we feel like writing” approach. This environment fosters a deadly-serious approach to the art of songwriting while ensuring that flippancy & fun are never left behind.

Royal Autumn are dynamic, delivering everything from emotional contemporary songs, such as “Say Goodbye” and “Lifetime” to fast heavy burners like “Thin + Blond” and “Bloody Tree”.

All Exclusive, HQ, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


MelodicRock will celebrate the site’s 25th Anniversary with one final Volume in its popular MRCD series. The site passed its 25th Anniversary mark in 2021, but the intention was always to mark the occasion with a new compilation featuring many of the artist friends that have supported the site over the years. It just took a little longer to organise!

While the internet and the way people view information has changed a great deal over the past few years, the MelodicRock.com continues to add new reviews in between running the reissue label MelodicRock Classics.

The MRCD series kicked off in 2003 with the ‘Revealed & Revisited’ release, making this January’s release, the 20th Anniversary of the series which last appeared in 2015.
