Albums of the Month

LAURENCE JONES The Truth
(Top Stop Music)
"‘The Truth’ aims for the centre ground, but it’s actually a slow burner
with substance ... With the benefit of a couple of tours this album might just
provide a significant step-up to the next level for a young artist with an eye
on the mainstream." (Pete Feenstra) |

BLACKBERRY SMOKE Find A
Light (Earache)
"Their material presents a welcome shifting target right across
the country/rock spectrum. With this album they have pushed the
boundaries further and found some sweet spots arguably better
than their previous best." (Dave Atkinson) |

BURN Ice
Age (Melodic Rock)
"...there isn’t one filler song to be found on
the album, a rarity on most modern albums that often
have 3 or 4 stellar songs, then lots of ‘meh’
tunes...Burn have done it again delivering an album
chock full of enjoyable melodic hard rock." (Jason
Ritchie) |

FM Atomic Generation
(Frontiers)
"...another top album from the undoubted British standard bearers of melodic
rock" (Andy Nathan) |
