Madison was a Swedish glam / hair metal band that was active for a few years in the 80’s and released two albums. The second of those albums, “Best In Show” was only ever released on vinyl in Europe until now. On 16th November the album was released as a limited edition CD by Pride & Joy Music. I included the track “Hotel Party” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd November.
“View to a Thrill” is the latest solo album from Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy and it was released on 9th November via Frontiers Music. The first four solo albums, released between 2002 and 2008, came out when Pearcy was no longer a part of Ratt, however “View to a Thrill” is released at a time when Pearcy is back touring with a new Ratt line-up. The single “I’m A Ratt” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 31st August, followed by “U Only Live Twice” on the Show on 19th October.
