I’m not going to lie, writing a musical review in 2020 was a bit of an obstacle course. This year was clearly the epitomy of what we call a “GSU year”. For those who read me for the first time (nice to meet you, make yourself at home, there are beers in the fridge), the [...]
Upon its release in 2006, « Rise » was a bomb that revigorated the whole hard rock genre. After that everything went fast for THE ANSWER. The Irish band even opened for AC/DC on the Black Ice tour in 2009 (which makes for a great anecdote told by Paul Mahon, guitar player of the band, whom we had the chance to interview). However, despite a very positive critical reception, their 3rd record “Revival”, which was released in 2011, flew under the radar. Disappointed by this failure, they decided to change literally everything: management, label, new recording studio. The only thing that didn’t change is the line-up. But then, how is “New Horizon”?
Paris, Le Petit Bain, October 16 2019 In January 2018, after almost a year of silence, Ozo and Dango left all of their fans in complete despair and disarray after announcing they were putting TRUCKFIGHTERS on an indefinite hiatus. This was an understandable decision given their stakhanov-like schedule. And then, after the shock of the [...]
Some interviews needs to be done, for the simple reason that you know they are going to bring you something that they are going to really deepen your musical vision. I never really appreciated death metal, beyond the classics, until BROKEN HOPE broke all the notions I had. As soon as I checked their latest [...]
What makes a good album? It’s a question that needs to be clearly asked because the more I learn, I read, I listen and I review, the more that aspect of music troubles me. Are there objective criteria which allow the reviewer to give a standard to use in order to give a good evaluation [...]
Before the "London In Paris" event, which will take place on September 7th at L'Alimentation Générale, Real Rebel Radio, in partnership with Public Pressure, offers you to learn more about the bands coming straight from the other side of the channel to set the Parisian night ablaze. That's why we asked BOY FROM THE CROWD [...]
Some combinations seem to fall out of the sky. An enigmatic artwork, a laconic name, a release through Fuzzorama Records, and an album announcement which thrilled the world of European heavy rock… Straight out the gate, ASTEROID had everything going for them. And since it took only a few repeats to fall in love with [...]
The memory of « Universe » still strong in my mind, I rejoiced when TRUCKFIGHTERS announced a new record. And despite everything, listening to “V”, the duo’s fifth record, left me speechless. How does a band stay that creative and challenges the expectations of its audience, seemingly always on the road as well as managing one of [...]
AC/DC is definitely no longer AC/DC… After Malcolm Young and Brian Johnson, it is now Cliff Williams, the bass player of the band since 1977, just confirmed he will leave the band after the current tour. The rumor started in July, when the musician gave an interview to Gulshore Life and declared: “It’s been what [...]
There is something great about following an artist through the years, especially when his career gets richer and richer with each new release. Ever since “Black Waltz”, their fourth album, the Swedes from AVATAR have kept exploring their style, developing their writing and offering records of tremendous power and diversity. And given the heights reached [...]
