BIG POST BIG PROBLEMS BIG NOISE
Howdy folks, more nostalgic midweek mayhem for your jaded modern musical palettes.
Savour the flavour.
Some nice hard rock to kick things off tonight, this is "Rock 'til You Drop", the 1996 album by the Richie Ranno Group. Richie, of course provided the guitar muscle & melody for 70's Hard Rock gods in waiting, STARZ. Later on he was the architect behind the shortlived HELLCATS as well as appearing on KISS man GENE SIMMONS' solo album. He's joined on this project by latterday STARZ bassist Peter Scance and superb vocalist Neil Sundet. Great sounding catchy Hard Rock which oozes class.

Now, from 1984, we're "proud" to present the "Fire Breaks the Dawn" album from Swedish rockers Proud. This is a minor masterpiece for those who love Euro Metal of a certain vintage. The youthful five piece take their cues from the earlier NWOBHM bands, but manage to imbue the music with a dark mood & unusual feel all of their own. Give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

Anyone remember the song "The Kings", on "Metal Massacre 2", by Hyksos? Probably not, their contribution was overlooked in favour of SLAYER etc. by most. Well the L.A. based 5 piece, flushed with their "success" decided to record & self release a self titled album later the same year anyway. What a glorious racket it is too, old fashioned & epically Heavy, they don't make 'em like this anymore. They seldom did then either!
