Reckless Love are the leaders of the pack when it comes to the new breed of hair metal. The Finnish stars are heading out on a headline UK tour in October, our Lisa caught up with frontman Olli Herman and drummer Hessu Maxx at Sonisphere to get the lowdown on the band.
Well, here we are at Damnation, the brilliant one day heavy music festival held annually at Leeds University. Each Damnation festival is unique, with the only common theme being the faithful Damnation regulars, who see the one day festival as a chance to see some of the best extreme bands in the world.

Damnation, the brilliant one day heavy music festival held annually at Leeds University, has reached its tenth year. Each Damnation festival is a unique event, with the only common thread being the Damnation regulars who see the festival as an opportunity to witness some of the best extreme bands on the planet. The 2014 festival is…
If you’ve read my other interviews from Sonisphere then you’ll know that I asked every band the question “What is your biggest Rock Sin”, and there was no band I wanted to ask this question more than Londoners The Defiled. Reputed for living the rock and roll dream to the extreme, we caught up with debauched board master The AvD.
When you’re a band as huge as Slipknot you’re bound to feel the pressure when you release a new record. Especially when it’s your first with 2 new members. With the death of bassist Paul Gray and departure of drummer Joey Jordison, there was some speculation as to whether the 9 would, or could, continue. Here we are though,…
Newcastle rockers Boy Jumps Ship opened one of the stages at Sonisphere this year – just one of the many things they’ve managed to fit in to 2014. After the release of their new EP there’s no doubt that Boy Jumps Ship are on the rise and have no intention of stopping just yet. Check out what they had to say about their Sonisphere show, and everything else they’ve been up to.
London crossover-metal bruisers Dripback have been tucked away in several bands for years now. Labrat and Ted Maul luminaries now reside in this supergroup that have been playing some crushingly-heavy, critically-acclaimed shows in preparation for their debut album Failed Futures. As one of the most intriguing metal bands to come out of these shores in recent times, we were more than happy to chat to Luca and Lee at Sonisphere.
What happens when you put three musical titans together? Pure genius, that’s what! Power trio The Winery Dogs is made up of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big) and Richie Kotzen (Mr. Big, Poison). Rock Sins was lucky enough to be able to sit down and had a chat with Richie Kotzen…
We had a good old chat with Sam Rondeau-Smith and Josh Redrup from Palm Reader last month after their performance at Sonisphere. We talked stage antics, laying floors and LSD.
Backstage amid the chaos at Sonisphere Knebworth 2014, Rock Sins caught up with Airbourne drummer Ryan O’Keefe about their insane live shows, touring plans, copious amounts of alcohol on their tour bus and a lot more! This is Lisa Fox from Rock Sins I’m here with Ryan from Airbourne. RO:G’day I’m Ryan from Airbourne. G’day that is so cute. …
Words by Lisa Fox, photos by Alan Swan. It is always going to be tough to review a band that claim to be “The Greatest Band of All Time”. Everything Arnocorps do is harder, louder and heavier. They make no apologies for this confidence. In fact they simply bring balls to the walls attitude as they make music and…
We chatted to Jay Postones of TesseracT at Sonisphere Festival 2014. We discussed the return of singer Dan Tompkins, people peeing on their faces and what the band have going on for the rest of the year.
