Just over a month since the Dirty Thrills released their brilliant self-titled debut album, tonight they played a headline set at The Finsbury in North London. In an intimate setting which had a nice touch of tables and candles it was a great venue to witness the band play live.

Chichester based band Davy’s Gripp are a band that has a classic rock sound that is never going to sound dated. Formed in 2010 this five piece have gained a steady following with support slots for Toseland and The Virginmarys plus a headline slot at the historic 100 Club in London. With melodic rock songs that are just outstanding, all of the band each bring their unique talents that can be heard on all of their releases.

Shaman’s Harvest are one of those bands that you listen to and think when a band sounds this good why are they not so well known as their contemporaries as they should be. Formed in Missouri in 1996 and having now released 5 albums which have spawned singles that were featured on the Billboard Rock Charts, inclusions in film soundtracks and a theme song for WWE, this is a band that has delivered consistently great albums over that time.

With so much great music out there it is sometimes difficult to find every great band and much deserved bands don’t always get the recognition they should. This can be especially true for bands across the pond that don’t always get heard over here in the UK. So it was with great delight that I crossed paths with a band called Wicked Tongues who hail from San Diego, California.

When BlackWolf announced they were doing a small tour and Fire Red Empress were supporting them, I knew that I had to catch them on one of their dates around the country. Unable to make either Oxford or London this left just Bristol as the only chance to catch them live, even though it was the furthest away of all their dates in the south of the country. Being at The Exchange it also meant I didn’t have to find my way around much of Bristol, a city I haven’t visited for almost 30 years and even though it was a 250 mile trip, it was certainly worth it to see both bands play live.

Cambridge based band The Treatment have achieved a lot since they were formed in 2008. Not only have they released 2 albums This Might Hurt in 2011 and Running With The Dogs in 2014, they have also toured with rock gods such as Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy, Slash, Kiss and Mötley Crue to name but a few, a pretty impressive rock pedigree for a band that started out so young.

Kodiak Jack being local to me were always one of the bands that I had wanted to see live but events had always seemed to conspire against me every time they played near me. So it was with great delight that I saw them open for Phil Campbell’s All Starr Band at The Joiners in Southampton last week. An electrifying set of pure rock, the band sounded excellent but due to there being four bands on that evening it seemed a far too short set worthy of such a great sounding band.

Fire Red Empress may come across as a band that are a little bit enigmatic but there is nothing mysterious about how much they know about creating songs that are what rock should be all about, songs that stick in your head with huge rock riffs, a dangerous rhythm and immense rock vocals, this is a band that impresses with their musical style.

Having already booked to see The Treatment at 2 venues in October as Buffalo Summer are the support for that tour along with Massive, when it was also announced they were supporting Phil Campbell’s All Starr Band in August as well, I had to go along to hear them play live as I had heard a couple of songs and really liked them.
