Airbourne, Skam Live At The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth

Airbourne

26.08.2014

When Airbourne announced 3 small club dates in the UK before touring again in October supporting Black Stone Cherry, I was particularly thrilled that they had chosen my local venue as one of those dates and for them to play at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, my favourite venue over the last 30 years was just something I had to see. As this venue was probably the smallest capacity of the 3 dates it sold out pretty fast but I was able to track down a ticket for the event and I am so glad I didn’t miss this evening, it was destined to be something special.

Featured Band: Kyshera

Kyshera

Kyshera are a band that refuse to be defined by comparison or convention, are determined to set the agenda on their terms and both of their previous albums have the ability to make you sit up and listen to what they are about. A modern band that still believes in intelligent lyrics, something that hasn’t been seen for a number of years since the major record companies decided the world should be full of insipid music.

Featured Band: Electric Mary

Down To The Bone Iii

 

Having formed in Melbourne in 2003, the current line-up of the band comprises of Rusty (vocals), Pete Robinson (guitar and vocals) Alex Raunjak (bass guitar), Brett Wood (guitar and vocals), Davey Porter (drums) and have so far released 3 albums – Four Hands High (2004), Down to the Bone (2008) and III (2011). Full of guitar riffs from the start, gravelly rock vocals and an impressive rhythm I was hooked from the first listen. Fortunately I was able to get my hands on the last 2 albums as having heard a few songs I needed to hear a lot more of them.

Sell Your Soul To The Devilstrip

devilstrip

I like American rock bands, a lot of my albums over the years have been imported from the US when they haven’t been available over here in the UK, especially when the band hasn’t always had the exposure they deserve outside of the States.

One such band I came across via Twitter was a 3 piece rock band from Akron, Ohio by the name of Devilstrip. A listen on RevebNation to the track Go from their debut album Rise which was released 1st August, confirmed that Devilstrip were just my kind of band. Formed in 2013 Marc Wasmund (Vocals, guitar) Graig Lindgren (Bass) Jimmy Gray (Drums) have been steadily gaining support with a number of shows and have also joined Buckcherry on tour in the last year.

Time To Hunt Down BlackWolf

4-Panel-CD-DigiPak-with-Tunnel-Pocket-Template

I always listen to The New Rock Show on Planet Rock as Wyatt Wendels features 5 new artists each Saturday that are not heard during the day and it is an excellent opportunity to listen to some great bands that are probably new to many of those that tune into the show. So when Wyatt played the BlackWolf single Moving Mountains a couple of weeks ago, I really liked how they sounded and I wanted to hear more of them.

Massive Are Gonna Rock Until The Encore

Massive

Formed in Melbourne in 2012, Massive describe themselves as a deadly 8 legged Aussie rock-monster that isn’t for the faint-hearted and Full Throttle certainly backs up that claim, with Brad Marr (Vocals, Guitar), Ben Laguda (Lead Guitar), Aidan McGarrigle (Bass) and Jarrod Medwin (Drums) producing a turbo-charged rock album that engulfs the senses from the very first play and this album has 15 tracks of rock at its very best.

Tax The Heat Can Do No Wrong

TaxTheHeat-VINYL-EP

Tax The Heat have been generating a lot of interest over recent months with Fed To The Lions and Devil’s Daughter gaining some much deserved airplay and from their live performances especially over the summer. I recently had the pleasure of seeing them perform live at a support slot on the Black Star Riders UK tour and I could see for myself why this band based in Bristol are being talked about so much as it was an electrifying live set.

Davy’s Gripp Play Those Wicked Games

DG

I love to discover new bands and nothing beats the excitement of hearing a band that instantly grabs your attention. Recently a follow on twitter led me to discover a band called Davy’s Gripp who not only sound great but are also a local band to me. Supporting slots with Toseland and The VirginMary’s plus playing at the 02 Academy in Islington recently, the band are making a mark in the world of rock music.
