Smokey Mirror – Smokey Mirror (Rise Above Records)

As I look back at my prior mournfully poor ramblings on this fine site that you are reading, I noticed that it is now at least a decade, yes a DECADE, since I started mentioning the beginnings a “Retro Rock… Continue Reading →

Ruby The Hatchet – Fear Is A Cruel Master (Magnetic Eye Records)

It is an unfortunate fact that real life keeps on interfering with one of my true passions, namely live music, and assorted circumstances have conspired to prevent me from catching Ruby The Hatchet live during one of their forays to… Continue Reading →

Children Of The Sun – Roots (The Sign Records)

Swedish retro rockers, Children Of The Sun follow up their 2019 debut LP “Flowers” with another slice of late ‘60’s love culture worship in the shape of “Roots”. Taking inspiration from greats like Janis Joplin and fusing it up with… Continue Reading →

Kryptograf – The Eldorado Spell (Apollon Music)

For many months now I’ve been slowly formulating the theory that the esteemed editor of the review site that you are currently perusing has been gaslighting me by sending nothing but wave after wave of Swedish rock and metal for… Continue Reading →

Wooden Fields – Wooden Fields (Argonauta Records)

Greetings fellow retroanauts.  Are you ready to swing your flares to the unashamedly back in time sounds of Wooden Fields?  Do you believe every t-shirt you wear should be both “tied” and “dyed”?  If the answer is “yes”, well grab… Continue Reading →

Nephila – Nephila (The Sign Records)

Okay, I’m beginning to think there is some sort of conspiracy at work. Another review, another band I’ve never heard of, again, it’s a pretty bloody good album, and again, it hails from Sweden? How on earth does that land… Continue Reading →

Blues Pills – Holy Moly! (Nuclear Blast)

I’m fairly lucky to have seen one of Blues Pills first UK shows, if not their very first, when in 2013 they played the Dingwalls in Camden third on the bill behind Scorpion Child and headliners Orchid (what a line-up… Continue Reading →

The Black Wizards – Reflections (Kozmic Artifactz / Raging Planet)

Damn this modern life for making me have to have a job to pay my bills! Why can’t I be like that Swedish chap who made the news a couple of years ago when he got state benefits to go… Continue Reading →

Children Of The Sün – Flowers (The Sign Records)

There’s a lot of retro “classic rock” around these days. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I guess it’s more about the way it’s done. Sweden for some apparent reason seems to have been a hotbed… Continue Reading →

Lucifer- Lucifer II (Century Media)

Johanna Sadonis might best be described as dynamic. After abruptly leaving her former band, The Oath in 2014 she quickly moved towards creating Lucifer. No time or efforts were wasted as ex-Cathedral riff master Gaz Jennings came on board to… Continue Reading →

Blues Pills – Lady In Gold (Nuclear Blast)

Anyone who has been foolish enough to waste their precious time reading my ramblings over the last couple of years will know I’ve been a fan of Blues Pills from the get go, first catching them way down the bill… Continue Reading →

The Golden Grass – Coming Back Again (Listenable)

It seems that the push for retro rock is continuing unabated, and I am personally looking forward with great anticipation to new releases this year from Blues Pills and Scorpion Child, acts that in years gone by have both ridden… Continue Reading →
