NewsAfter cancelled 70th birthday party, back on the road [finally!] for ‘Uncovered’ and much more
Steve Harley is absolutely delighted to be heading back out on the road, after the longest absence from the stage of his career due to Covid, for a series of dates across the country. As well as numerous high- profile slots at festivals, he will be touring venues either as the Steve Harley Acoustic Band or as the fully electric Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel. He will be performing material from his last album ‘Uncovered’ but also, of course, hits and deep cuts from his extraordinary song catalogue. MOJO magazine said simply, “Harley creates rock songs that are proud, lyrical and full of yearning”. Full tour dates follow, see also www.steveharley.com.
These shows truly cannot come soon enough for Steve, who was forced to cancel plans for a 70th birthday spectacular at Glasgow’s Armadillo last year; this is now rescheduled for 5 March 2022 and billed as “Steve’s 70th + 1 Birthday Special”. He said, “I’d been travelling for 47 years until the door was slammed. Without my roller-case packed, I hardly know who I am! We are all dead keen to get back on the road, doing what we love and what we can’t really live without.”
The ‘Uncovered’ album includes interpretations of nine painstakingly chosen songs created in many instances by peers and contemporaries of Steve, those with shared histories and some that he admired from afar. These are songs with heft and honesty that have always connected and resonated within him; this is material that he’s always wanted to perform and may even wish he’d written! Steve’s links with some of the songwriters go back to the very start of their careers: Bowie in Beckenham; Dylan throughout his early teens; Cat Stevens/Yusuf and Paul McCartney, both massive early influences… Added into the mix are two songs from Steve’s own incredible catalogue, reworked from the originals: ‘Love, Compared With You’ which now boasts a newly-composed third verse, plus ‘Only You’, played Live for several years, but recorded here for the first time.
Steve is one of the UK’s finest songwriters and performers and these shows are a great chance to once again enjoy him doing what he does best. Rod Stewart, who covered Steve’s song ‘A Friend For Life’, describes him as “One of the finest lyricists Britain has produced.” Steve has also been described as “A consummate performer at the top of his game”, and these shows will bear that out.

News‘Warriors of Love’, the first new album in a decade from Medicine Head, is released on 24 September via Living Room Records. Featuring ten brand new songs, this is a fresh and vibrant set of blues rock that makes it sound like founder John Fiddler and Medicine Head have never been away.
Of the album, John Fiddler says: “I consider everything I do to be a ‘labour of love’; and ‘Warriors of Love’ sits there happily within the whole trauma site. This work helped me to reclaim my life from extreme negative circumstances and every day I offer my heartfelt thanks to the gods of creativity and to all the people around the world, new and old, who care about what I do. Many thanks for the emotional rescue go to guest Heads Morgan Fisher, Dzal Martin, Belinda Campbell, Dave “Bucket” Colwell, Roy Shipston and Ben Dale.
John said, “Gimme some Truth”, and John said, “Give me Love”.
Medicine Head began life in 1968 when the founding core duo of singer and guitarist John Fiddler and harmonica player Peter Hope-Evans began performing in the Midlands. They quickly came to the attention of John Peel and – at the insistence of John Lennon – the DJ ended up signing the band to his own Dandelion Records. Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend were also early cheerleaders. Peel declared the band’s debut 1968 single ‘His Guiding Hand’ to be one of the classics of all time – and a copy featured in his legendary Record Box.
Medicine Head released three albums via Dandelion Records, with Hope-Evans leaving and returning to the fold during that time. The first album, 1970’s ‘New Bottles, Old Medicine’ featured ‘His Guiding Hand’ and was recorded in a two-hour session and Medicine Head toured with the DJ at many of Peel’s shows. The band followed that with the single ‘(And The) Pictures In The Sky’ and then a second album in 1971, ‘Heavy On The Drum’; produced by the Yardbirds’ Keith Relf. After their 1972 album, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ [yes, before Pink Floyd), the band signed to Polydor.
Medicine Head then released ‘One & One Is One’, the single charted at No.3 in the charts and the album of the same name garnered them more fans. The following album ‘Thru’ A Five’ gave them more hits with “Rising Sun” and ‘Slip and Slide’. Soon after that the band became a duo again, releasing the fittingly titled album ‘Two Man Band’ in 1976. The following year, Peter Hope-Evans left for the final time, although John Fiddler (with Peter’s blessing), has continued to work, and to release records as Medicine Head – 2011’s ‘Fiddlersophical’ was the last before ‘Warriors of Love’.
It may be a decade since the last album, but John Fiddler has found his voice and his musical freedom once again. This is an artist and a band with pedigree and a story, and ‘Warriors of Love’ writes a worthy late chapter in the Medicine Head story.

NewsKingmaker Publishing, run by Big Big Train founder Greg Spawton and Prog magazine journalist/Big Big Train manager Nick Shilton, is delighted to announce the publication of its second book. Genesis: 1975 to 2021 – The Phil Collins Yearsby Mario Giammetti will be published on 15 July 2021.
Genesis: 1975 to 2021 – The Phil Collins Years follows Kingmaker’s previous book, the highly acclaimedGenesis: 1967 to 1975 – The Peter Gabriel Years. This brand new book is the definitive biography of one of the world’s greatest rock bands following the departure of Peter Gabriel.
It contains numerous exclusive interviews with band members and all of the important personalities who were part of the story of Genesis from 1975 onwards, including Ray Wilson who fronted the band for 1997’s Calling All Stations album and subsequent tour before the return of Phil Collins in 2007. The book covers the full story of the band from 1975 very extensively, taking readers through each album and tour. Additionally it features a number of previously unpublished photographs.
Greg Spawton comments: “We were delighted by the success of Genesis: 1967 to 1975 – The Peter Gabriel Years following its publication in May last year. The book received considerable praise from numerous quarters, including from Steve Hackett as well as the music press and Genesis fans, and is now on its second print run. Like its predecessor, Genesis: 1975 to 2021 – The Phil Collins Years contains a wealth of details about the balance of Genesis’s career, many of which may well be unknown even to the most ardent fans of the band.”

Al Ross & the Planets today announce the release of the group’s second album, Blue Crystal on 10 September 2021 on CD and download through Wienerworld. The album is available now for pre-order.
When the band entered the legendary Abbey Road Studios to commence recording in January 2020, they never guessed that a pandemic was about to turn their plans upside down. Members would soon be sidelined by the virus, travel around London became forbidden, and — when sessions did finally resume in May — there was a long list of safety measures.
The core lineup of Al Ross & the Planets on this album is Al Ross (lead vocals, bass), David Brammer (saxophone), Terry Mascall (drums), Alex Mungo (ex-Then Jerico, vocals), Julian Mungo (acoustic guitar), and Marc Rapson (piano, Hammond organ, keyboards, percussion).
As band members became unable to take part due to Covid (George E Well and Paul Miller were forced to bow out) Ross realized that he would need to hire session players to fill the gaps. He asked his longtime friend Lyndon Connah to play keyboards and assist with production. Connah’s extensive resume includes work with Level 42, George Michael, Squeeze, Joe Cocker, Thomas Dolby, Nik Kershaw, and Go West. Next, Anthony Broza at Wienerworld suggested blues guitarist Norman Beaker. A native of Manchester, Beaker has been involved with the British blues scene since the 1960s and has toured and/or recorded with Jack Bruce, Chris Farlowe, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry, and B.B. King, among many others. Additional musicians on Blue Crystal include Tansy Garrod (violin), Paul Jefferies (double bass), Jamie Masters (guitar), Holly Petrie (backing vocals), Jamie Wall (trumpet), Alex Ward (lead guitar), and the Sing Gospel Choir.
The wide array of talent involved in the collaboration yielded spectacular results. The warm and lustrous “Faith” is a radio-friendly standout, a love song caressed by piano and light samba rhythms. “All the Things We Started” shares a similar glow, featuring a soaring, emotive vocal by Ross. Bold and brass-driven, “Checking Out the Vibe” is a modern take on the bluesy classic rock strut of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Dr. Feelgood. Alex Ward provides stinging guitar licks while David Brammer and Jamie Wall’s brass arrangement is straight out of the Muscle Shoals songbook. “Crossroads” and “In the Middle of the Night” venture into gospel territory, slowly building in intensity in a manner that recalls vintage sides on Apple Records, as well as more current artists like Primal Scream and Spiritualized. “Sweet Memories of You” has echoes of Pink Floyd as Petrie’s voice interplays with Brammer’s saxophone. “Blue Crystal” is another slow build with a melody worthy of Noel Gallagher. And finally, “Something Changed My Mind,” says farewell to a lover as Rapson’s Hammond organ adds charms to an uptempo country stroll.
The Abbey Road sessions were engineered by Lewis Jones and Andy Maxwell, with additional sessions at Echo Studios in Buckinghamshire engineered by Jamie Masters. The entire Blue Crystal album was mixed by Chris Bolster at Abbey Road. Bolster also mixed the previous The Planets One.
Each of Blue Crystal’s eight tracks were written by Ross and Mungo in collaboration with either Connah or Rapson. Gary Wonfor and Alex Grayson also share writing credit on “Something Changed My Mind.”
“Facing huge obstacles in a horrendous year — with two members getting Covid — we managed to produce a truly great album,” said Ross. “It was a great way to pass the hours rather than staying at home feeling depressed! We were able to create something positive out of 2020.”
Blue Crystal: Tracklist
1. Crossroads (Ramirez, Mungo, Connah)
2. Something Changed My Mind (Ramirez, Mungo, Connah, Wonfor, Grayson)
3. Faith (Ramirez, Mungo)
4. Blue Crystal (Ramirez, Mungo)
5. In the Middle of the Night (Ramirez, Mungo)
6. All the Things We Started (Ramirez, Mungo, Connah)
7. Checking Out the Vibe (Ramirez, Mungo, Rapson)
8. Sweet Memories of You (Ramirez, Mungo)
Album produced by Marc Rapson. Additional production by Lyndon Connah.
Engineered by Lewis Jones (Abbey Road), Andy Maxwell (Assistant Engineer, Abbey Road), and Jamie Masters (Echo Studios, Buckinghamshire).
Mixed by Chris Bolster (Abbey Road).

NewsDeath metal band DEATH REICH will release their sophomore EP, “Death Camp”, on July 16th 2021 via Non Serviam Records.
On July 16th the band unleashes the first EP “Death Camp”. Its primitive intro evolves into a progressive verse that mutates into an aggressive chorus making it a fair representation of the new album.
EP Statement!
For the past three decades the members of Death Reich has been playing death metal in various constellations. We all share a great passion for the genre and that’s what keeps us moving forward as a band. We strive to create death metal that we want to listen to. Fast and aggressive with lyrics about the many faces of evil. The Death camp EP represents our take on death metal and what can be expected from us in the future. On this EP we also pay homage to one of the true origins of extreme music.
DEATH REICH Comments:
“‘Death Camp” was chosen as first EP because of the raw old-school energy mixed with some more modern heaviness. We felt the somewhat unorthodox mix worked well. There are also some horror elements to the music which goes together well with the titular demon the lyrics talks about”.
Death Reich was formed in 2018 by Jonas Blom (Sacramentum, Runemagick, ex Trident, ex Grief of Emerald, ex One man army and the undead quartet, ….) who at first played the guitar together with Marcus Fors (Voodus, ex Vornth) on drums and Robert Axelsson (Sacramentum, Grief of Emerald, ex One Man Army and the Undead Quartet) on bass. They later recruited Christer Bergqvist (Grief of Emerald, ex Sadistic Grimness, ex Auberon) on guitar and Johnny Lehto (Grief of Emerald, ex Decameron) on vocals.
Death Reich recorded a demo in 2018 with this setting that due to its unfulfilling result never saw the light of day. Marcus decided to quit the band shortly after this recording. The band had trouble finding a replacement, so Jonas took it upon himself to play the drums. The band initially played American old school Scott Burns era death metal but changed direction to faster, straight forward and more brutal Death metal and started writing and rehearsing new songs. A new guitar player was also needed and Robert Babic (ex-Brutal Division, Vulcanic) was recruited. Two new songs were recorded 2019 “We are you” and “Domination”. These songs can be found on YouTube but where never properly promoted.
In 2020 a new recording was made which is now being released through Non Serviam Records. The first official release from Death Reich will therefore be a three song EP called Death Camp. The EP includes the title track, a song called “Hunger” and a cover of Metallica’s classic song “Fight fire with fire“. A full-length album is in the final stages and will be released soon.
The EP will be available as digital HERE:

Inner Missing was formed back in 2008 and they have been very productive since then and toured extensively with bands such as My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Saturnus and Throes of Dawn just to name a few.

It was created during the period of total uncertainty and dismay and these are its main themes – yet, paradoxically, it is an album about hope as well – and if you listen attentively you will definitely feel it. Musically it may be defined as the development of the plot which was started on two previous LPs The Ineffable and Ghostwriter, and, therefore it is the work that I am – and will always be – proud of.” Listen to Deluge album on streaming platforms: Youtube: https://youtu.be/UlVL55Y9d-Q Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bcgkWS Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/us/artist/13637525 Apple Music: https://apple.co/2YAX9Ue Tidal: https://listen.tidal.com/search/albums?q=inner%20missing Bandcamp: https://innermissing.bandcamp.com Yandex: https://music.yandex.ru/artist/5478519/albums Napster: https://fi.napster.com/artist/inner-missing Kkbox: https://www.kkbox.com/tw/tc/artist/sTcpWINVLNgFVK0F0.gtC08K-index-1.html |

PARRILLA – FEMME FATALE: ENSNARED BY VENUS
LABEL: INDEPENDENT RELEASE
RELEASE DATE: JULY 30th 2021
There are treasures that catch our eye and snare our soul – a glitter of gold in the darkness, a cold gleam of starlight in a clouded night sky. The half seen beauty consumes us, while the surrounding gloom obscures the greater reality in enticing mystery; the claw and tooth, the labyrinthine complexities, the hidden hurts, the sustained damage leaving rusted hooks and broken edges. We lay our hearts at the feet of shattered deities; offer our love and blood like a vampiric transfusion. We take the disdainful blows till we match them wound for wound, till we are broken too. Till we are empty vessels, discarded disciples with no love left to give.
Ensnared by Venus is the first part of the Femme Fatale trilogy of EPs from Parrilla – an industrial metal force of nature, unafraid to detonate reckless sonic devices beneath the boundaries of the genre and dance amongst the wreckage. This fearless opening chapter of their ambitious new endeavour hammers into the dark heart of unbalanced, unhealthy relationships and drinks deep from a chalice of poisoned lust and misplaced love and loyalty. The pounding beats and steel shod riffs grind beneath the melodious vocals, dipped in despair and painted with heartbreak. Pain experienced and pain observed form a tempestuous lyrical cauldron, perfectly matched by the pulsing rhythms and aching melodies, delivered with the force of an iron fist. Ensnared By Venus is an intense listening experience and an enticing opening to an intimidating triptych of sounds.
Parrilla have quickly established a formidable reputation for themselves, both live and in the studio. Games, Braaains And A Headbanging Life hailed the ‘dark depths’ of their debut EP, Dancefloor Messiah and their Breed single brought haunting, dangerous layers to the Nirvana original. Live, Parrilla have stunned fans with the intensity of their performances, crossing swords with the likes of the thunderous Goat Monsoon and the “shamelessly obscene” Alien Vampires. But for all that has gone before, this is where the real Parrilla story starts – with Ensnared By Venus and the Femme Fatale trilogy. This is the sound of a band come of age, a band ready to take you to the brink and beyond. On July 30th, dare the wiles of Venus and follow Parrilla over the edge, into a world of twisted desire and desperate lust…

Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling band Goo Goo Dolls has officially released their brand-new compilation album Rarities. A retrospective collection of 20 songs spanning Goo Goo Dolls’ career from 1995 to 2007, the record is available in digital, vinyl, and CD formats via Warner Records. Listen HERE.
In celebration of the album’s release, the band also shared “Broadway (Live)”, a rare live recording of the band’s iconic hit originally captured for AOL’s Sessions@AOL series. Listen HERE.

The double LP features numerous tracks never before released on digital streaming platforms or any physical format, including b-sides, live songs, acoustic renditions, radio performances, international releases, and additional non-album tracks.
Rarities includes covers of the famed INXS hit “Don’t Change”, ‘Hit Or Miss’ by The Damned, ‘Nothing Can Change You’’ by Tommy Keene, acoustic versions of seminal tracks such as “Iris,” “Slide,” and “Name”, international releases including a remix of “Long Way Down” by Grammy® award-winning mixer/producer/engineer Tom Lord-Alge, and even a one-minute performance of the Major League Baseball-staple “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”, plus many other rare tracks from the vault.
With their highly anticipated thirteenth LP on the horizon, the band also recently announced North American tour dates for summer 2022, for dates and tickets visit the band’s website here.
ABOUT GOO GOO DOLLS:
Formed in Buffalo, NY in 1986 by John Rzeznik and RobbyTakac, Goo Goo Dolls quietly broke records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 12 million records worldwide, the group garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and seized a page in the history books by achieving 14 number one and Top 10 hits at Hot AC—“the most of any artist.” As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” Thus far, A Boy Named Goo (1995) went double-platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl went quadruple-platinum, and Gutterflower (2002) and Let Love In (2006) both went gold as Something for the Rest of Us (2010) and Magnetic (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. 2016’s Boxes attracted the praise of People and Huffington Post as Noisey, Consequence of Sound, and more featured them. Their music has been covered by everyone from Taylor Swift to Leona Lewis. Among many accolades, John received the prestigious “Hal David Starlight Award” in 2008.
Following a sold-out 2018 twentieth anniversary tour in celebration of Dizzy Up The Girl, Goo Goo Dolls wrote and recorded their twelfth full-length album, Miracle Pill (Warner Records)—igniting a bold and bright new era in the process. On October 30th 2020 the band released their first-ever Christmas album It’s Christmas All Over.
