Albums of the Month

Sons Of Apollo

SONS OF APOLLO Psychotic Symphony (Inside Out)
"The album is a musical monster that’s for sure, as the collective members input their various influences from past and present bands, plus their love of bands like Deep Purple and Rush.
." (Jason Ritchie)


Shadowqueen

SHADOWQUEEN Living Madness (Cloburn Music)
"Robbi’s looks and larynx may evoke P!NK but the overall appeal will be to lovers of Halestorm and Paramore but with a striking consistency that sometimes eludes more familiar names."  (David Randall)


Savoy Brown

SAVOY BROWN Witchy Feelin'   (Ruf Records)
"Kim Simmonds delicate touch, heartfelt vocals and a true feeling for the blues ... continues to craft with a spirit and joy de vivre that leaves many of his contemporaries in the shade ." (Pete Feenstra)


Appice

APPICE Sinister (SPV)
"...together they represent one helluva legacy in the drum department of rock...This is a great debut and you can’t help thinking … bring on a live gig, given the twin legacy that is almost an A-Z of heavy rock  (David Randall)


Threshold

THRESHOLD Legends Of The Shires (Nuclear Blast)
"..Lots to digest and enjoy musically...an album you will keep coming back to again and again " (Jason Ritchie)

Dave achieved notoriety when he dived on to the stage in the late- 1980s at the Marquee.  He's been perfecting his dive technique ever since, but without much success.
