Darkhorse Hero Darkhorse Hero is the debut solo project from Andrew Gazaway and features a sound that hearkens back to the glory days of hard rock/metal. The album displays plenty of dual guitars and jumps back and forth between melody and thick riffs. The music is tight and the lyrics are bold in their message of the gospel. The production is good, especially for an independent project such as this one. The album opens with “On Fire”. A melody played by a single guitar g

SCOTT STAPP SENDS “NAME” TO RADIO; READIES TV PERFORMANCE FOR FRIDAY’S FOX & FRIENDS New Album THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SHADOWS Recently Debuted in Top Five & Top Ten on Rock and Album Charts in the US & UK (Nashville, TN – 8/21/19) – Grammy winning songwriter, platinum-selling solo artist, and Creed frontman, Scott Stapp has followed “Purpose For Pain” with “Name” at rock radio. Both will be featured during his six-song summer concert performance live on Friday’s Fox & Friend

Narnia return with the second album since the return of Christian Liljegren to the vocal helm. The line-up remains essentially intact from their self-titled release a few years ago, but Andreas Passmark (bass) has been replaced by Jonatan Samuelsson. While the Narnia sound remains essentially intact - melodic power metal with a bit of progression - some of the songs could be categorized as rock anthems. Still, there is enough crunch, shred and heavy drum punch to keep this of

Having grown up on 60's surf rock as a child (ironically, from the landlocked state of Oklahoma), I developed a love for not only the Beach Boys, but also the instrumental stylings of Dick Dale, The Ventures, The Chantays and others like them. So when offered the chance to review a new surf rock compilation, I jumped at the chance. As the title suggests, FleaHab Sober Living Environment Benefit Compilation is a benefit compilation for a recovery home for those struggling with

(2019 Remaster CD/Vinyl/Cassette) For those of us old enough to actually remember what we were doing in 1986 and what the music scene was like back then, this reissue serves as a fresh reminder of how underground the metal scene still was in general, but specifically how word of mouth and “demo” cassettes – in addition to the live local “show” – were integral in “getting a band noticed.” This was particularly the case with Deliverance – a band who not only frustrated and chal

(2019 180 gm Vinyl Remaster) Without a doubt, Weapons Of Our Warfare occupies a special place in the archives of Christian metal. Not only was it the highly anticipated follow-up to the fantastic self-titled debut – one which held up to the musical and lyrical standards of that iconic record – but the title track attained international status with its appearance on MTV’s Headbangers Ball. And even though, to me at least, the songs from the debut have stood the test of time ju

August 6, 2019. Santa Cruz, California. Thumper Punk Records is stoked to announce the release of a Benefit Compilation of Surf Music to raise money for Santa Cruz based FleaHab (http://fleahab.org). Founded by legendary big wave surfer Darryl “Flea” Virostko, the mission of FleaHab is to provide a sober living environment in Santa Cruz focused on physical activity, in effect replacing the high of drugs with the endorphins of exercise. Combined with a nutritional menu and

Vinyl/CD Remaster (2019) When Blood was released on Rugged Records (back in 1994) I think it would be fair to say that it was largely ignored. Not to say that those with a discerning ear didn’t take notice … but let’s face it, rock ‘n’ roll was under assault in the mid 90’s. Not surprisingly, this heavily 70’s hard rock influenced (Led Zep/Deep Purple) collection of songs flew under the radar. And even those who acknowledged the exceptional qualities of Red Sea (the undeniab
