Gehtika are a band I had never heard of until this E.P. dropped into my inbox and since I’m always eager for new, unknown music, I was looking forward to giving it a spin. Gehtika are a UK band, based in Warwickshire, and have been going for around 2 years. Originally as a five piece,…
Artist: Alter Bridge Album Title: AB III Release Date: October 2010 Record Label: Roadrunner Records For Fans Of: Creed, Fozzy, Slash, Guns N Roses, Led Zeppellin, Foo Fighters, Metallica I’m going to start this review off by admitting something “uncool”. I really liked Creed back in the day. There, I said it, abuse will descend…
The Fear Is Excruciating But Therein Lies The Answer is the third album from one of the leaders of the post-metal / ambient genre, Red Sparowes. Like many good artists of similar nature such as ISIS and Torche, Red Sparowes make their home on the fantastic HydraHead records Red Sparowes make their home in the UK on Conspiracy…
Songs for Singles is the latest album by Torche, who reside on everyone’s favourite post metal / ambient record labelHydraHead (with apologies to Southern Lord, they’re great too).

If you don’t remember, or didn’t see it, read it by clicking on the title. One of the bands mentioned in that article were Harrow/Hillingdon hardcore metal collective Here Lies Affliction,…
Nixa are a 4 piece hard rock band from London that have been around for approximately the last 3 years.

Sylosis are a band who have been around for quite a long time (I remember seeing them in the listings for The Marquee in Hertford and other such small venues around London about 2 or 3 years ago) but have only in the last 12 months or so started to garner the attention they arguably…
April 1st: Time for practical jokes and spoofs, and possibly some traditional April showers. It was also the opening night of what has become the annual Bowling For Soup UK Acoustic Tour by BFS frontman Jaret Reddick and bassist and generous timegiver to Rocksins Erik Chandler.
