The statement that’s been thrown around the most with regards to Here Lies Man is “What if Black Sabbath played Afrobeat?” That’s one hell of an elevator pitch on its […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Year Of The Tiger’ by Myles Kennedy
It was only a matter of time before Myles Kennedy released a solo album. As revered as he is as one of the best hard rock vocalists of the modern […]

EP REVIEW: ‘Black To Blues’ by Black Stone Cherry
On paper, this seems like a total no-brainer. You’ve got Black Stone Cherry, the Southern-rock / blues-rock wunderkinds who even the harshest detractors of the US’s radio-rock lineup give a […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Two Parts Viper’ by ’68
As far back as Josh Scogin’s musical lineage spans – serving as the original vocalist for Norma Jean before breaking away to front The Chariot – he’s never really gotten […]
