Sister Rose – No Cause For Distraction (2019)


“Day 3 had a lot to live up to, but fear not, the days rocking kicked off for us with Bolton’s Sister Rose, a straight up Melodic Rock band let by frontman Chris Berry who blew away the cobwebs of Sunday afternoon with opener The Devils Hand’. The band might have been playing early on but gave it their all with set highlights for me being old school hard rocker ‘Shame on You’ and set closer the oddly titled ‘Shake Your Snake’. A real ballsy, no nonsense rocker that ended a short but impressive set. Definitely a band I would check out again if they were playing a pub near me.” – The Mayfair Mall Zine

Marillion – Clutching at Straws 4 CD, Re-Mix Remastered ,Box set, 2018


Amazing how you can misheard something at the time, but 30ish years later you hear it differently. The added live recordings remind me of the New Year 5 date tour they did, saw them in Liverpool. Any Marillion fan should get this.

Big Talk – Time Of Dreams… (1988)

Highly recommended Hi-tech Scandi AOR, very good for an indie release. Jojo kept springing to mind on initial spins,especially in the typically 90’s keyboard sounds, aswell as a little Toto aswell.

Anyways, the songs are all good, especially ‘Walls Of Fear’ & the excellent ‘Angel Eyes’. Well worth adding to your Scandie collection if you see it.

1. Walls Of Fear
2. Lets Talk About Love
3. Rosie
4. Angel Eyes
5. Moments Of Time
6. On The Radio
7. Time Of Dreams

John Kilzer – Scars 2019


Hide Away finds John Kilzer turning in a new set of songs in that rich, cross-genre tradition, with the help of Memphis’s established musical community and members of the up-and-coming generation as well. Alvin Youngblood Hart, Luther Dickinson, Steve Selvidge, Bobby Manuel, Greg Morrow and Kirk Whalum, among others, all show up to help Kilzer bring it home. It’s a testimony to John Kilzer’s respected standing in the Memphis music community, and it’s the reason Hide Away marks a return to top form for a songwriter who knows, personally and professionally, how music can move, can shake, can heal us.
