Thunder - Robert Johnson's Tombstone
This album is just irresistible and very likely to be album of the year.
Read review.
Thunder - The Thrill of it All
After the new amazing album I started to listen to "Thrill of it All", which I always considered my "least favourite" Thunder album. However, it's a great album and the title track and the beautiful "
Love Worth Dying" makes this another essential album for Thunder fans.
White Lion - Fight to Survive
I always liked this album, but in the past month I had the album in heavy rotation and it has gone from good to brilliant. Mike Tramp also approved this album and its value, since the reincarnated White Lion played 5 of the album's 10 tracks live in Copenhagen November 11th 2006.
Whitesnake - Live in the Shadow of the Blues
You can't go wrong here. 20 Live tracks and 4 brand new studio recordings. The live part is excellent where the dynamic guitar duo Reb Beach and Dough Aldrich deserves a mention. The 4 new songs sound very promising so this CD needs a lot more spins.
Rockets to Ruin - Love*Drugs*Rebellion
These newcomers from Atlanta have made a great album combing Hard Rock (80's) with a sleight touch of punk. Skid Row's Rachel Bolan has produced the album and will help market the album , but these guys can stand on their own. Look out for a full review soon..
Bang Tango - From the Hip
This album was supposed to be out in March, but Perris Records kept pushing the date. Now it's finally released and it is a much anticipated album. However, after the first handful of listens it sounds very mediocre. It needs more listens, but there is something missing. How come the brilliant
My Time wasn't included for the record is beyond my imagination? Bang Tango played
My Time on their 2005 UK tour and this track had melody and power, which is missing on "From the Hip".

Bang Tango - Psycho Café
Because the new Bang Tango disappointed me I brought out this gem to remind what a great band Bang Tango is. This certainly is a unique album.
Beautiful Creatures - Deuce
I have been listening to Joe LeSte a lot lately. Beautiful Creatures once again fires off their powerful modern Hard Rock. Not as consistent as the debut, but I wish we had more bands in this vein.
Winger - Winger
This album has so many great moments;
Hungry, Time to Surrender and
Madalaine are just the icing on the cake.
Vains of Jenna - The Demos
Their debut album has just been released on the Filthy Note label and simultaneously "The Demos" is released. The Demos is a compilation of the two EP's from 2005 plus 2 recordings produced by Gilby Clarke. The sounds is good and a little rawer than Their debut album "Lit Up/Let Down".
Kingdom Come - In Your Face
I am been spinning this regularly for 2 months and trying hard to get into it.
