“This time around I just wanted to have a good time just making a record with these guys and I think there’s a lot of different feels and stuff but its all pretty rock and roll and that’s pretty indicative of what it is that I do.” He needs no real introduction, he’s undoubtedly one of the most recognizable people [...]
“We try to call it melodic heavy rock and I think that’s the best words to describe the whole thing, but it’s got a lot of variation and some things on the album.” On the eve of releasing their seventh album ‘Stones Grow Her Name’ and with over 16 years as a band, Sonata Arctica are continuing to make amazing [...]
“It’s great that we can still do this after nearly 30 years and have songs that have their own lives such as The Final Countdown, but also being able to release new albums and gain new fans. It’s amazing, I’m laughing myself to sleep every night!” I can remember vividly back to the day I purchased Europe’s 1986 release The [...]
For someone who has long been hailed as one of the premiere vocalists in the melodic rock sphere for nearly 30 years, it surprised me somewhat to be reminded that Damage Control is only Jeff Scott Soto’s fifth solo album. With a career spanning beginnings as the vocalist for Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, through to the mighty Talisman, contributing vocals [...]
“I guess it’s just some kind of a release you know, I mean every day you’ve have to walk around and you’ve got to go to the supermarket and you have to pet your cats and you don’t really get to freak out that much, so when I get to play a show I just get to freak out as [...]
“Our message is important, I think people understand it, people are inspired by it and kids need punk rock. When you come to a punk rock show, you should go berserk.

Since their re-emergence after a couple of years hiatus, with new album Requiem and a swag of major festival appearances, The Getaway Plan have slowly, but surely, reclaimed their status as one of Australia’s leading rock bands.

“Justin really got himself together and now he’s fighting fit and a better guitarist and singer and performer than he ever was, even back then, it’s just great to be and I’m really privileged to be back with them.” The Darkness, have possibly the best biography out there at the moment: “There have been two albums. There has been a [...]
Formed back in 1987 by former Waysted vocalist Danny Vaughn ; Brooke St. James (guitar), Jimi Kennedy (bass), and Michael Clayton (drums), Tyketto and their classic albums Don’t Come Easy and Strength In Numbers have forged the band a reputation over 20 plus years, that is still as strong as ever in 2012. Since getting back as a touring entity [...]
“You can’t really say oh this band is really popular in Australia because they’ve sold a lot of albums, because you just don’t know what sales are worth anymore. We’ve always done very well, we’ve never been a multi-million selling band but we’ve always done very well on the live circuit.” Swedish melodic death metal trash rockers Arch Enemy are [...]

Official Bio: “Dead City Ruins have been carving their own path in the world of hard rock.
