Peril - Kiss Of Fire 1993 (Hard Rock) USA

A 1000 copies pressed cd is usually quite hard to find, 500 copies makes it that much harder to find generating descriptions as mega or hyper rare ... Now how about 100 copies ?? Yes, this one is one of those 'impossible' to find indies, and the fun doesnt stop there, as the music is smokin' classic indie US hard rock of the highest caliber!! If you like it, dont let it slip by, you'll probably never see it again ...

Overloaded - Regeneration 2007 (Hard Rock/Metal) USA

Overloaded is a raw Detroit band that most people would love to find out about. However, a majority of record labels would stereotypically say that Overloaded has a style of music that has "already been done", and exhibits a talent level that has already been surpassed by backing tracks and special effects. It's shamefully typical that these same gossip vomiting fakes that destroyed the record industry in the first place consult TMZ, Rock of Love, and $800 handbags to find out what's cool. Worse yet, Overloaded gave into the notion that these people were all powerful and we're worth the time to impress...ultimately destroying the band.(HERE Info/Listen)

DIZZY BITCH was created in 1981 in Lakewood CA... TIM TATION and HONDO BLACKOUT, along with 2 other band members, started playing shows in southern CA as DIZZY BITCH... This line-up lasted several months... JOHNNY LUST was the drummer in PANDA then playing in Hollywood CA @ Gazzarri's all the time... It was in late spring of 1982 when JOHNNY LUST joined DIZZY BITCH... Rehearsing, partying and writing songs every day in TIM's garage with influences such as THE PLASMATICS, KISS, ANGEL, QUIET RIOT, THE SEX PISTOLS, TWISTED SISTER, RUSH, MISSING PERSONS and RANDY RHOADS... They quickly started playing shows at clubs in Orange County CA like The Woodstock Concert Theater and Radio City moving they're way up to Hollywood Ca playing famous clubs like Gazzarri's and The Whisky A Go Go amungst others...

Terry Crawford - Circadian Rhythm 1996 (AOR) Australia

Terry Crawford is the drummer with the excellent Canadian pomp rock band Lightspeed whom I really should get round to reviewing very soon. But he’s obviously much more than a drummer and plays most of the instruments here as well as showing off a fine larynx not unlike the direct delivery of Dave Baldwin from New Jersey’s Tradia. Lending moral and musical support are several of his Lightspeed buddies and also Jim Gilmour from Saga - now that’s the way to get my attention!
After the short instrumental opening "Too Little, Too Late" is the first "proper" song and is much lighter than the splendour of Lightspeed. It’s still in a pomp/progressive style but there’s also a poppy bent which makes it refreshing and rather like Frozen Ghost. "You Don’t Listen" confirms these observations and almost sounds like Camel on "Stationary Traveller" with its hybrid progressive style and commercial awareness - an excellent track all round!
There’s lots of fine moments throughout this album - sure it might get poppy at times but its still complex without being overburdening. "No Anchovies" (nice title!) has some pretty insistent guitar work, "Neon Lights" is excellent guitary radio rock, and "Through the Years" has very Saga-ish keyboards to name three of the high points.
Overall it is indeed a very hybridised approach, but it really grows on the listener and is well worth tracking down….(aorbasement)

Rob Mancini - Rock 'N' Roll Circus 2011 (Melodic Rock)

Recommended !

Mattador - Quien Nos Salvarra? 1994 (Hard Rock) Puerto Rico

Puerto Rican hard rock band with progressive elements small. This is sung in Spanish copy them extremely rare.

Strutt - Dreams 1990 (Melodic Rock/AOR)

Great AOR/Melodicrock band, with clean vocals and alot of keys.There is no filler on this one. Standout tracks to me are '(Girl)Why Did You Leave' and 'Dreams'.I think that this is one of the best AOR/Melodicrock indies out there. It's in the same league as 'Surrender','Oslo' and 'Winters Reign', so if you ever find it, don't hesitate, you won't regret it..(aorjocke)

Sick Trigger - The Stand 2004 [Hard Rock]

Purely riff oriented rock that is hard and melodic. Featuring a heavy rhythm section, searing lead guitar, and scorching vocals. Stripped of the processed sound of today's music, this rawness brings a different dimension to rock music.

Listen..

Big Red One - Trouble Maker 1994, (Hard Rock) Switzerland

The first of two fine releases by this Swiss hard rock band, featuring two former members of The Foolhouse and the vocal talents of Jean-Marc Viller (credited with lead vocals on Rough Generation "Psycho Trippin'" (1990), Back Street "Euphoria And Depression" (1993), and two different Escape Music 2007 releases, Neverland "Schizophrenia" and Daydreamer "Daydreamer". Also to his credits are backing vocals on both Fun Gogh albums, the first two Shakra albums, Crystal Ball "Timewalker", Crown Of Glory "A Deep Breath Of Life", and a duet on the title track of Lunatica's "Fable Of Dreams" album).
This is typical Swiss melodic rock... good melodic songs with the required loud, proud, and in your face delivery. And, it is even sponsored by Budweiser so you know it will go down smooth. Pretty hard to find nowadays. Recommended.

Wraith - Riot 1993 (Melodic Metal) UK

A great album, heavy twin guitar yet melodic. Very catchy songs. The original version of this album came in an amazing fold out sleeve (different picture) with Ross Halfin photos. Saw these guys supporting UFO. The band put out quite a few albums and did a lot of touring. A big history and full discography on the Rockdetector site. Be careful- look for the British Wraith, not the American ones. Other albums are 'Danger Calling' (sounds like Kiss) and 'Schizophrenia' with Kim Nielsen from Phantom (HH)

Sharon O'Neill - The Best of 1983 [3 cd] (Lite AOR/AOR)

Sharon O'Neill was born on 23rd November 1952 in Nelson and started performing locally in the late 60's on acoustic guitar. She was a self taught musician who learned to play mainly by ear. Sharon started composing at an early age, mainly by putting chords to her poetry.

Sharon's first recordings were with a couple of friends from Nelson, Robin Winch and Nancy Richman. They recorded a song for Ode in 1971 as Suitewater. The song was "Suzanne"/"Chords of Fame". An entry into the 1970 Mobil Song Quest, saw them make the finals with a song called "Life Upon Life" written by Sharon. The song appeared on the album from the Quest under the recording name of Sharon and Nancy. The album "Mobil Song Quest 1970" was released on the Kiwi label, catalogue number MS-70.

This CD was released to coincide with Sharon's support concert series with Leo Sayer. The concerts have been a huge success and it is fantastic to see Sharon back on the stage, performing as good, if not better, than she always has.
