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
Rite is the second album from Idlewar released by Off Yer Rocka Recordings. A trio from California, that plays a form heavy rock blues from the 70s, with a whole lot of grunge! I find a hint of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and even Read More …
Strange Peps Music – Part 2 – The Sinners
For me, The Sinners is a kind of the beginning of the Hives, and the band that gave me the title: “Ah, it’s that Peps kind of music…“! The first time I heard the band was on national radio in 1990 with the single “Love You More Than This“, Read More …
Nale – new Swedish music
Say hi to Nale, a fresch bit of air. This is a relative new (for me at least) Stockholm-based band that in my opinion mixes a bit of Motörhead with Danko Jones. And maybe a touch of rockabilly. It’s hard, it’s melodic and it’s impossible Read More …
Strange Peps Music – Part 1 – Sator
Well, this is maybe not that strange, but maybe an easy way into my journey… I think that we’ll start in the late 80s, with Sator from Borlänge, a middle-sized town in the lower part of middle Sweden. In my opinion, there’s never been a Read More …
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 …
Review: Descenery – Stillborn Monolith
Descenery, a band formed in Vladivostok – Russia, by Slava – a musician from Nakhodka, and now consists of Slava and Leon Relentless, two heavy metal youngsters! The album was released in July 1st 2017. When I started listen to this album, I had a Read More …
Review: Skallbank – Grav Efter Grav
First of all, this EP is in Swedish… 🙂 Skallbank, yet another of this amazing bands coming from this small town Karlstad in Sweden. But with a sound that is really hard to put a label on. This is the first EP from the band, Read More …
Review: Knogjärn – Marscherar & Förstör
It’s been a long cold winter for me right now! Most metal-shit coming out right now, well it doesnt get me in the right place. For the moment there are very few “high-five-moments”. Most metal isn’t for me (maybe I’m getting old…) But thankfully the Read More …
