After a super night at Fede’s Free Balls Charity Show at Ivory Blacks, Glasgow as part of his Hairy Balls Challenge. I spoke to Fede about how & why he chose each song the the bands sets to sing that night, about the Hairy Balls Challenge, will he be shaving …

First up were German band nulldB, playing their first ever UK show.  With one band member painted one half white and the other half black, he was certainly eye catching.  Musically this was metal with a real Rammstein influence, particularly with the guitar riffs.  It was very impressive stuff and …

‘V’ represents the bands (yes, you guessed it) fifth studio album, and contains some of the best melodic and progressive Rock you will have the pleasure of listening to during the present calender year. Based in Australia, the band have been steadily progressing in terms of popularity, having become the …

I think I’ve just found that something special to fill the gap in my CD collection that’s been empty for far to long. Old style, nostalgic! ain’t the words to use, but if I have to describe them, only three will fit here, “Retro-Rocket-Rock” !!  This is just one magnificent …

Armagh-based ten-legged groove machine Astralnaut have been kicking up dust – sometimes quite literally – on the Irish scene, both north and south of the border, for around about two and a half years now, particularly with their fiery and intense live shows, which have been consistently levelling venues with …

My first reaction to hearing that U.D.O had a new live release coming out was one of surprise – after all they released “Live in Sofia” just two years ago, and since then they’ve only released one album.  OK the 2012 release was a live CD whereas this is a …

It’s only a month since The Bermondsey Joyriders released their double A side single “Brian Jones (The real true leader of the rolling stones)/Johnny Thunders was a human being”, and now they’re releasing their third album.  Surprisingly considering how recently the single was released, the songs from it don’t appear …

Earlier this month, Dublin metallians AeSect made fans north of the Irish border sit up and take notice with their hugely impressive Belfast debut (reviewed at http://planetmosh.com/katabolisis-by-conquest-or-consent-aesect-belfast-limelight-2-24052014/). Afterwards, PlanetMosh took the opportunity to grab a chat with frontman Shane Kiernan to get the gen on the band’s story to date …

@planetmosh reviews .@richsrobinson The Ceaseless Sight on .@theend records/Circle Sound Records. The Ceaseless Sight is the third solo album from The Black Crowes founder member Rich Robinson recorded last year at Applehead Recording, Woodstock, New York.  His solo albums have been few and far between, possibly because they only come …

When you are holding a brand new album, which was just released by your favourite music band, you usually do not think about anything besides the band and their music in the album. But behind this finished and shiny set of tracks in the jewel case, the paper digipak and cd …
