Italian band Midnight Sin release their second album, “One Last Ride”, through Scarlet Records on 13th October. The band formed in 2010, releasing their debut album in 2014 and an EP in 2016. There is a clear 80’s sleaze rock influence, but there is more to their sound than that. I’ve been listening to the album quite a bit over the last few days and it is quite addictive. The track “Loaded Gun” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 6th October.

Autograph release the album “Get Off Your Ass” through EMP Label Group on 6th October. This is the first new studio album from the band since 2003; or perhaps since 1987, depending on how you look at it! Like many 80’s rock bands Autograph have gone through more than one re-generation over the last twenty years or so. This version of the band came together initially in 2013 and looks to be the real deal. They signed to EMP in July and “Get Off Your Ass” is released this week. The title track was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 22nd September.
