sleaze rock

(8/10) You haven't heard about Devil City Angels yet? Could be since their foundation took place in 2014. But what you for sure know are names like Rudi Sarzo, Tracii Guns, Rikki Rocket and Brandon Gibbs. Yes, indeed; those guys played in bands like Poison,...

(6/10) When I heard the first time about a new upcoming album of the Backyard Babies I was really excited. Eight years after the guys released their latest album I wasn't expecting a new one anymore. Dregen as well as Nicke Borg have their own bands going...

(8/10) Listening to music from Swiss Gotthard was a pleasure for me from the first album onwards. Yes, indeed, the guys had a period when they became a bit too catchy and mainstream. But since a few records they found back to their old strength which...

It seems to be 'Kiss time' this summer. Within one week ex-Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley visited the Netherlands as well as his former band mates from Kiss (next week in Amsterdam). Frehley made the start by playing a show in De Boerderij in Zoetermeer....

Mötley Crüe announced the European tour dates for autumn this year. It will be their Final European Tour and the shows are part of the 'Final Tour' cycle. Here are the dates: Monday 2 NOV – Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, UK* Tuesday 3 NOV – Manchester Arena,...

(7/10) Trixter had their debut in 1990. They belonged to the second wave of sleazy hardrock bands that followed big seller like Mötley Crüe, Poison and Ratt. Since everything belonging to this style sold very well in the early 90's also Trixter had quiet...

(7/10) It is seldom that a cover and the music of a band goes that well together as it is with the new The Vibes album. The lonely cabin, the wreck of a car, wild natur and dust ... this is how "Standing at your own grave" sounds like. It is the diesel...

(8/10) It creates some excitment and curiosity when Jean Beauvoir and Micki Free team-up to work on an album. Both have been the driving forces behind AOR rocker Crown Of Thorns, but the two guys have been also successful with their other bands/projects....

(7/10) If the girl on the cover of this album is the ‘last woman standing’ you better not mess up with her. She seems to be a quite angry one. No idea why she’s like that but one thing is for sure. It can’t be the music on the second album from Miss Behaviour....

(7/10) Hardcore Superstar means first of all great live music and energetic concerts. On of those shows took place in Leiden a few dyas ago where the band from Sweden presented already some new tracks. All of them highly appreciated by the fans. Probabaly...

The Gebr. De Nobel in Leiden is a venue in Holland which I haven’t visited before. It opened in 2014 and is build into an old factory. The entire location was reconstructed and became a very good concert location that can host shows up to 750 visitors....

(8/10) I think that the name and the cover of this record are misleading. When I read Santa Cruz I haven't thought about hardrock with a strong 80's touch. And the cover didn't lead my thought into this direction either. I had more to think about some...
