Norwegian band NiteRain released their second album, entitled “Vendetta”, on 2nd December. If you’re into sleazy, hard rock music and have a taste for bands from the current day delivering that 80’s sleaze / glam sound, then this is a band you’ll want to check out. I’m certainly not a mega sleaze / glam rock fan, but NiteRain wouldn’t be at the extreme edge of that genre either and there is plenty I like about their new album. The track “Lost and Wasted” is included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd December.

“Silhouette” is the fourth album from Australian band White Widdow and it was released on 25 November via AOR Heaven. This is definitely one for those who love that 80’s AOR sound. As I’ve said many times, that genre can be a bit hit or miss with me generally, but there is plenty on this record that I like and it definitely deserves a recommendation. I played the opening track “Stranded” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 9th December.
