Dave Stryker: Groove Street (2024)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
Here we find guitarist Dave Stryker with Jared Gold (organ) and McClenty Hunter (drums) along with guest Bob Mintzer (saxophone). The trio plus Mintzer have been undertaking tours together with Mintzer as a special guest and now they have gone into the studio to...
Carsten Sindvald: Laura Bell (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
This is not really an album I would ever have expected from Carsten, and indeed his name is in rather small print at the bottom of the cover showing he provided the music and lyrics. He graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Music as a classical saxophonist and is...
Carsten Sindvald: A Flamboyance of Flamingos (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
Over the last decade or so I have reviewed Carsten’s solo albums, having first come across him when he was working with Robin Taylor, and I have always enjoyed his wonderful sax playing combined in multiple different styles. Here we find him moving into instrumental...
Various Artists: Frets Of Yore (2017)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
I was somewhat surprised to see this album is from 2017, as the thought process behind it make me think very much of some of the projects which came out during the pandemic. The concept was simple, provide 26 graphic artworks to musicians who were then asked to...
Jimmy Keegan – 2024 – Jimmy Keegan
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
Like many others, I first became aware of Jimmy when he joined Spock’s Beard as their live drummer so Nick could concentrate on vocals when he took over from Neal, and then after Nick’s own departure he stayed in the seat. I had seen the Beard a few times with Neal,...
Foghat: Slow Ride – Live In Concert (2024)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
This may be somewhat difficult for our American friends to understand, but Foghat never made much of an impression in their home country of England, even though they rightfully became superstars across the Atlantic. However, I was lucky enough to be introduced to...
Watain: Die in Fire – Live in Hell (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
To commemorate their 25th anniversary as a band, Swedish black metal collective Watain released this live album, recorded in Stockholm in October 2022, which is why it is subtitled ‘Agony And Ecstasy Over Stockholm’. The band have been incredibly stable over the...
Tom Portman: Daughter of the Willow Tree (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
Tom Portman is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, recording artist and composer based in the west of Ireland. He specializes in guitar, Dobro®, lap steel and other strings. Although he has released multiple other albums, this is the first time I have come across...
Just One Fix: Your Own God Now (2024) single
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
New Zealand’s answer to Testament are back with the second single from their forthcoming ‘Submit or Death’ EP, something which I am definitely looking forward to with bated breath. I have been fortunate enough to see these guys play a few times over the years and...
The Dukes of 1987: Retroderelict (2016)
by Kev Rowland | Apr 1, 2024 | Reviews
This 2016 album is another care of Jerry and Dave, with this album featuring the former only. From what I can ascertain, this was either a side project of The Lizardz or an attempt to break through using a different name as it includes all the members of that band in...
BIG BIG TRAIN (UK) The Likes of Us
by rogue | Mar 30, 2024 | Latest News
I remember 20 years ago when I first bought a ticket on the Big Big Train, by purchasing “Gathering Speed”, a fantastic discovery that I had most positively reviewed a year later. The album garnered praise for its historical revisit of that seminal moment when the...
Necroticgorebeast: Repugnant (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
Due to being massively overloaded with material it has been quite some time since I have taken anything from Imperative PR, and I had forgotten just how much I enjoy their press releases. This one starts, “I am faceless and I am empty. You could fall into the hollow...
George Gee Swing Orchestra: Winter Wonderland (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
George Gee has been leading his own swing orchestra since 1980, and after returning to New York in the early Nineties secured a residency at Times Square’s SWING46 Jazz Club which is now in its 26th year. This album features ten Christmas songs which have been...
Freya: Fight As One (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
It is strange to think it is now 20 years since Freya burst onto the scene with ‘As The Light Drains’, but now they are back with their seventh full-length album, the first since 2016. Only singer Karl Buechner is still there from those early days, but Erick Edwards...
Erik Dahl Ensemble: Everyone’s Too Sad For Everything (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
There has been just one change in personnel since the 2022 debut ‘Gethenian Suite’, as double bassist Tove Brandt has been replaced by Viktor Reuter. Erik Dahl (piano, electronics) has again been joined by Anna Cochrane (violin, viola), Andreas Thurfjell...
Dying Fetus: Make Them Beg For Death (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
With a line-up which has been a constant since 2007, and a recording history which goes back 30 years to their first debut, there are no surprises when it comes to Dying Fetus who have long been straddling the death metal genre in their own distinct style. “We put our...
Helms Deep: Treacherous Ways (2023)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
I know I speak for all reviewers in saying we get flooded with requests on a daily basis, and we can only take a small percentage of what we are offered, which means many “new” bands often get overlooked due to time. I saw the email come through, didn’t recognise the...
Dave Loveland: Dangerous Rhythm (2022)
by Kev Rowland | Mar 29, 2024 | Reviews
As soon as one starts listening to this album the time machine kicks in as what we have here is something which does not belong in the current music scene but instead takes us back to the early Sixties when British instrumental guitar groups were all the rage. Being...

In hindsight, 2007 was a great time to be alive. Social media was barely a thing, Trump was only bothering people on The Apprentice and there was still hope that everything would make sense at the end of Lost. Everything…

- Andy Tillison – The Tangentby Kevan Furbank on April 18, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Andy Tillison has just come out of lockdown. Not a Covid lockdown but 20 months of self-imposed isolation in a compact studio at his remote Yorkshire farmhouse while he single-handedly (well, both hands and feet) created the 13th Tangent album,…
- Jo Beth Young – Broken Spellsby Leo Trimming on April 16, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Some albums just come out at the right time for a listener. Just before I experienced a very sad event Jo Beth Young released her own unique blend of ethereal indie-folk infused Broken Spells. After my loss, listening to and…

- Basil’s Eurovision Roundupby Basil Francis on April 13, 2024 at 12:00 pm
With Australia’s Voyager proving to be very popular at Eurovision last year, the message is clear: Eurovision and prog rock are no longer mutually exclusive! It’s high time that we all got invested in this long-running song contest and hope…
