_{The first interview published in 2015 is actually one I’ve been pursuing for a little while. Back in August I posted a recommendation for the debut album from X Drive entitled “Get Your Rock On” (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/1628-ni-rocks-recommends-qget-your-rock-onq-by-x-drive.html ). X Drive featured Burning Rain singer Keith St John on vocals, former White Lion bass player James Lomenzo and drummer Fred Fischer. However, the driving force behind the band was guitarist Jeremy Brunner. To find out more about the project and future plans I sent Jeremy a few questions to answer just before Christmas.}

_{Halestorm today announced the date for the release of their third studio album entitled “Into the Wild Life” and released the first single “Apocalyptic”. The band will be playing Limelight 1 in Belfast on Saturday 28th February. There is a competition on the NI Rocks Facebook and Twitter pages to win a pair of tickets courtesy of the PR  team at The Limelight.}
