Almost three years ago, on 17th December 2014, I was lucky enough to catch The Down ‘n’ Outz live when they played the Limelight in Belfast. It’s not every day that you see members of Def Leppard, Vixen and The Quireboys on stage together! During the same tour the band played Sheffield Corporation and that show was recorded – Frontiers Music will be releasing that performance on 1st December. (See Press Release via Duff Press below)

Australian band The Radio Sun released their latest album “Unstoppable” via Pride & Joy Music on 20th October. The melodic hard rock band formed in 2012 and has released a new album every year since 2014. I played the track “You’ve Got The Touch” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 13th October.

“The Crowning of the Fire King” is the latest album from Swedish doom metal band Sorcerer and it was released on 20th October via Metal Blade Records. The doom metal genre can be a little hit or miss with me personally, but that maybe comes down to the numerous sub-genres that I get lost in! (Have I mentioned recently that I hate the whole sub-genre categorisation thing that goes on in rock music!) However, I judge what I like on what I hear, and I liked this album when I checked it out! The track “Sirens” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 13th October.

“Incendiary” is the debut album from Swedish melodic rock band Code Red and it was released on 20th October via AOR Heaven. The album is toward the more mellow end of my listening preferences, but it is a great example of that genre. I included the track “Heat of the Night” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 13th October.
