“Back In Business” is every bit as good as the best Europe / Treat / Dalton / Fate / TNT classic albums, and one of the greatest Scandi Rock records ever.
Nuff said. Essential for fans of the genre.

Produced by my favorite in this matter Mr. Ron Nevison – often accused of bass-less productions in favor of the melodic sheen – “Backlash” is another proof that it isn’t true; the drums kick, the bass lines are big and the overall sound is full.

BAD ENGLISH self-titled debut album has been remastered by Rock Candy some years ago, but now has appeared this version as part of he Universal Music Japan series ‘HR/HM 1000‘ (Hard Rock / Heavy Metal at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9 USD) – a more than welcomed campaign reissuing long time out of print albums from the label’s catalog.
The remastered sound here is less ‘bright’ than the RC release, so if you like a more mid-range EQ akin the vinyl LP spectrum, this Japanese edition is for you.
“Bad English” is so terrific simply because all these songs have killer hooks, memorable choruses, superb playing and stellar production.A classic AOR / Melodic Rock masterpiece.
01 – Best Of What I Got
02 – Heaven Is A 4 Letter Wor
Obscure and hard to find release nowdays from Alex Lyon came out in 1993 on a Big Noise label in limited copies. The band formed in 1991 on Rhode Island, offer us a very soft and mellow album with touches of Tom Petty with a little spark of AOR.
Indeed is a quite pleasant album, with good production and vocals after few playing times.

Many years ago in a time when internet was not the first source to look for new bands, we as a printed magazine in a period when Melodic Rock was completely dead were the first source for people interested in knowing the latest gossip.
I am talking about the year 1995. Lost of great CDs and demos were released and those were really the times we hunted every corner of the world to find these new acts. A band which had a CD released on the defunct LONG ISLAND RECORDS around the mid 1990s was STEEL DAWN. We reviewed and interviewed the band in one of our earliest issues. They managed to come up with a great Melodic Hardrock CD that sounded close to 80s BON JOVI, DOKKEN and JADED HEART.
Then it became quiet, very quiet and now more than 10 years later, the world has changed and STEEL DAWN returns with a

But it is Chrisanthi’s influences in classic rock and country music, that when met with Tony’s pop/hard rock style, forms an intense euphoric blend. This can be heard in their upcoming debut album, self-titled, Euphoria. Modern sound and concepts that reminisce scenarios of rock past.
