Brazilian Artist : https://www.mariorossiband.com : https://www.facebook.com/mariorossiband https://www.youtube.com/@MarioRossiBand My Rating 75/100 ‘Smoke Burst’ is certainly an interesting album being a mixture of laid-back blues guitar interposed with beautifully...

Husband Material: Raindrop (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Auckland jazz trio Husband Material have their debut album coming out later this year and prior to that they have released this single to give us a taste of what is to come. Although the three of them all play multiple instruments, this sounds very much like a live...

This Silent Divide: Beautiful Creature (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Here we have the latest single from Wellington-based melodic hard rock quartet This Silent Divide. I really enjoyed their Tall Stories EP, and they played a great gig at Dead Witch towards the end of last year, and this would have been recorded at about the same time....

Drop Off Point: Bridge City Crew (2023)
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Back in 1991, bassist Jorge "Hoya Roc" Guerra took over from the legend that is Roger Minet in the Agnostic Front side-project Madball, since when he has been a constant alongside Freddy Cricien. He now has a new claim to fame, providing a shoutout to his favourite...

Mikey Videotape: The Strangest Dream (2023)
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Some years back I was asked by AAA Records if I would write the press release for the debut album by a young Auckland-based prog band to which of course I agreed and in due course I was speaking to singer Michael Brown of Outside In about their incredible release,...

Written by Wolves: Misery (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
WBW may not have released any new material in 2022 but they are certainly making up for it in 2023 as while “Give ‘em Hell” is still moving up the SMR US Mainstream/Active Rock Charts (now not far from the Top Ten at #13), here they are with their second single of the...

Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields: Your Heart Of Gold (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Here we have a brand-new partnership from two artists who have already made names for themselves performing solo, and although they are both proud Kiwis, they have each won The Music Victoria Awards. Even though Matt only released his latest album a few months ago,...

Aro: Aroā (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
It is not often that I plagiarise my own reviews, especially when it was only a few weeks ago that the original review appeared, but here I am going to make an exception. There I wrote about the latest single by Aro, “Know How”, and here we have the same song but with...

Emily Rice: Warenoa (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Emily obviously does not have enough on her plate with raising her two-year-old daughter, as with her husband Charles she has released two singles in May, and here she is back with a solo effort as well. I was fortunate enough to hear her perform this live a few...

Five Finger Death Punch: AfterLife (2022)
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
When 5FDP first came out there was lot of noise about them in the scene, and I really enjoyed their first few albums, but I must admit I have somewhat lost touch with what they have been doing over the years so when I had the opportunity to review this their ninth...

Ricky Warwick: When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues) / Hearts On Trees (2016)
by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews
In 2015 Ricky Warwick was a very busy man in that not only was he fronting Thin Lizzy, but he also somehow found the time to record and tour the second album with Black Star Riders, as well as recording two solo albums, namely ‘When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy...

Tax the Heat: Fed To The Lions (2016)
by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews
Formed in 2013, it did not take long for this Bristol quartet to come to the attention of Chris Goss (Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Cult) who produced their debut EP, and they were soon picked up by Nuclear Blast and made a reputation for themselves by...

Usurpress: The Regal Tribe (2016)
by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews
At the time of recording their third album in 2016 the band were still a quartet of Stefan Pettersson (vocals), Påhl Sundström (guitars), Daniel Ekeroth (bass), and Calle Lönnberg (drums), but after the release of their next album, 2018’s ‘Interregnum’ Pettersson died...

by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews

- Gayle Ellett & The Electromags – The Painted River Of Lightby Graham Thomas on March 13, 2025 at 6:00 pm
The Painted River of Light is the third album from Gayle Ellett & The Electromags, and something of a departure from the direction of the first two releases. Up until now, the music was very much a celebration of the…

- District 97 – Live For The Endingby Graham Thomas on March 8, 2025 at 6:00 pm
