_{Frontiers Music has a well-deserved reputation for bringing together artists to collaborate on some great records. The release of the self-titled debut album from The Ferrymen on 2nd June provides further evidence that Serafino Perugino and the team at Frontiers know what they’re doing. The principle contributors in The Ferrymen are guitarist Magnus Karlsson from Primal Fear and vocalist Ronnie Romero from Lords of Black and Rainbow. I played the opening track “End of the Road” on the Friday NI Rocks Show uploaded on 27th April and "Ferryman" on the Show uploaded on 8th June.}

_{Local band Baleful Creed released their excellent second album “Seismic Shifter” on 6th June. The band has been extremely popular on the local rock / metal scene for a number of years and their tracks regularly appear on Rock Radio NI. (In fact Baleful Creed appeared in the list of Top 10 most featured artists during the first six years of broadcasting the Friday NI Rocks Show). More recently, they’ve been getting some much deserved recognition on the wider national and international scene.  With the release of “Seismic Shifter” that recognition is sure to grow. I’ve played the track “God’s Fear” a number of times on the Friday NI Rocks Show over the past few weeks and now that the album is available you can expect to hear more in the future!}

_{Radiation Romeos released their self-titled debut album through Frontiers Music on 2nd June. The band was formed by singer Parramore McCarty who was the original vocalist for 80’s band Warrior and for Steve Stevens’ Atomic Playboys. The name Radiation Romeos actually comes from the song “Atomic Playboys”. I played the track “Bad Bad Company” on the NI Rock A-Z Show uploaded on 5th June.}
