As requested, here’s Aussie classic melodic rockers WHITE WIDDOW last album titled “Victory“, in its now rare, out of print Japanese edition including two bonus tracks. The cover art is different, with a futuristic frame enclosing the main Earth photo.
Ten years and five albums isn’t a bad return for any band these days let alone an AOR band from Melbourne, Australia, but over a decade White Widdow have proved that it doesn’t matter where you’re from – if you make good music then you will get the chances to get it heard.
Five albums in ”Victory” their latest album seems to be setting its sights on the same musical territory covered by that first release – it’s an album that appears to have turned away a little from

Swedish AOR group Hydra returns on September 20th, 2024 with their sophomore release “ReHydrated”! With a stable line-up, the band still consists of long-time friends from the Swedish rock scene, i.e. song-writer/ musician Henrik Hedström (First Signal, Angelica), drummer/ producer Daniel Flores
(Find Me, First Signal etc.), bassist Jonny Trobro (First Signal, Find Me) and singer Andi Kravljaca (Aeon Zen, Seventh Wonder).
Hydra once again delivers a high-class AOR release with some obvious influences from the Westcoast genre as well.
The opening track “We Belong” will be re
WHITE WIDDOW returned with album number four titled “Silhouette“ carrying on where their last album left off: lots of catchy and hook-filled AOR tunes. In fact, this band follows their path without any compromise to trends, and this path is surely paved by pure ’80s keyboard-driven AOR in the vein of White Sister, Giuffria, Journey and Survivor, to name few.
“Silhouette” was rel
Who said that all great melodic rock bands come from Sweden? Well, those who did it probably never have heard from WHITE WIDDOW, an Australian band formed in 2008. Their music is what I call keyboard driven melodic rock in spades. This five piece is one of the new generation MR bands that proves that melodic rock is still alive and kicking and still lives in the heart of the young… and old.
White Widdow 2010 self titled debut was a blast. One year later, this follow up called “Serenade” continues with the catchy choruses and hooks galore festival. Proud of the 80’s sound and now sounding tighter than their debut.
Opener “Cry Wolf” is a straightaway good example for what you can listen to the next 45 minutes. Music

ALIAS is a great AOR band from the late 90s with one of the best vocalists of that time, Freddy Curci. The band didn’t last long, after the successful first album, the second one never saw the light of day. In 1993, the record company broke the contract with Alias due to the low popularity of AOR. It was time for grunge…
