It’s been many a year since I caught The Darkness live on their ‘One Way Ticket’ tour and more importantly eleven years since I first saw them at their headline show at The Gaelic Club in Sydney in 2004 and man, that was one hell of a show then so I’m looking forward to checking out their live set circa […]

It was awesome.” blogcritics.org SEVENDUST kicked off […]

“I think we used the new album to escape from the upheaval we went through, the upheaval with management. Obviously we did the comeback and when you do a comeback for us it wasn’t really a comeback, we just wanted to get together again and do an album…” From Release: THE DARKNESS, multi award winning, multi-million selling megaband formed in 2000 […]

Everything is running a little late tonight, but as I had the chance to wait before doors opened I was able to chat to a number of fans doing the same and it was evident how much people were pumped for the show tonight and just how much there is a love for straight up rock and roll. So all […]

“It’s a cliché but I love the music, it’s my whole life really, I think about music all the time, I collect it, it’s like I escape into it and it’s like my escape is my job so that works out pretty good.” From Tour release: Known as the original voice of Skid Row, Sebastian Bach is one of the finest […]

“…when the word Allegiance came up for me when naming this thing I wanted something loyalty, just a loyal group if you will and that’s kind of where the name came from and that’s what we’re trying to do, bring in all these different people, all these sub-genres of metal under one roof.” From release: Heavy Metal is more than […]

“I just want to tour the venues, bigger venues that are dangled in front of me like a carrot, like “If you get back with the old band you can play here” I know someday it’s just a matter of time before it’s “OK, just fuckin’ play here” *laughs* so that’s what I would like to accomplish… I would like […]

“Basically we took about a year to write songs which we’d never done before, so we had a lot of material diving into that period to choose from to put on the album, so it was actually a bit tedious trying to pick all the best ideas, we actually felt like we were very productive, we made a lot of […]

“…we wanted to look at the positive things rather than always complaining about where rock is, and oh people don’t listen to rock like they used to and the negativity that’s surrounding us at this point. So we thought why don’t we be a band that’s more positive and see if we can’t get some more positive things to come […]

“All these bands are afraid of being in a rock and roll band, all these bands are trying to reinvent the wheel, people around especially in the United States are saying that rock and roll is dead and we just say fuck all that, rock and roll is not dead and we’ll believe until you can believe again.” From release: […]

“I met a bunch of people along the way that really excited me and inspired me in a new way towards creating and I think about after a year or so of kind of time away from making music for myself, I jumped in and started writing songs and gearing up to start the Wilderness project.” ANDREW MCMAHON needs no introduction […]

“Whereas now we just do what we do, we haven’t really changed our formula, we haven’t done anything too extremely different, we are who we are and that’s really all I can say about that *laughs*, obviously as technology evolves it helps us create records a little more easier and faster.” From release: With Genexus, FEAR FACTORY forges a new hyper-alloy of sound, […]

THE DARKNESS, multi award winning, multi-million selling megaband formed in 2000 by The Brothers Hawkins, Frankie Poullain and (now departed) Ed Graham have had good years and bad.

Fuelled by fiercely loyal fans and signature […]

“…it’s hard to keep the ship floating in the right direction when you’ve got some people that are trying to lean it off to the side. So once we were able to get rid of the people that were the problem, everything really fell in line with myself, Tom and Chad, we’ve always been on the same page and we […]

“Our interpretation of that was obviously the opposite, putting the hammer in the witches hands so they have the power, it’s about retribution, revolution, revenge I guess… because we’re not particularly a Christian band so we can entertain that notion.” From Release: Unquestionably one of the greatest and most influential British metal bands of all time, CRADLE OF FILTH have cast a […]

I made it in to catch the last few tracks from Glass Ocean, now they were good but maybe in a different […]

“Musically I think nothing’s changed and I think we’re more comfortable than we were back then, back then it was more of a question of ok we have to find where we fit in the musical landscape, we have to find where we fit in and I think now we just don’t care about that, we just write music we […]
