A new album with Sparzanza is always worth the wait! A band that, when they play at their best, is in my ears one of the absolute best metal bands in Sweden! With this album, they kind of startled us with the title “Announcing The Read More …

Album review: Black Aces – Anywhere But Here
With their second album, Black Aces keeps on working that fine Australian tradition that started with AC/DC. In fact, I think this might be the missing link between AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and Airbourne. The music is a bit heavier than AC/DC but maybe not so Read More …
Album review: Idlewar – Rite

Weird Swedish Music: Intro – The start of a journey!
I’m about to start a story. A story of strange and sometimes weird Swedish music, that in a way is the story of how Peps become Peps from MetalPeps and ThePepsRocker. And it’s also a lesson in the history of rock/punk/metal in Sweden. But mostly Read More …
Review: The Quireboys – White Trash Blues
Been listening to the album for quite some time now, and if I got it right, it’s an album of covers? But that doesn’t really matter. I have a very long, but forgotten, relationship with The Quireboys, all the way back to 1990 and the Read More …
