Shylock – Walking Tall
The new album by German band Shylock is released in January 2013 by AOR Heaven and was sent to us by MEPR. The band have been around since 1998 releasing several albums over the years, most recently “RockBuster” in 2010. This is straight up no-nonsense rock music with no airs or graces. If you like catchy rock tunes this album is for you! With 13 tracks lasting over 50 minutes you’ll not be disappointed.
NI Rocks Recommends - Kobra and The Lotus – “Kobra and the Lotus”
This is the second album from the Canadian rockers, following on from the debut album “Out of The Pit” in 2010. The album was released in Europe by Spinefarm Records in August, although the band are signed globally to Universal Music/Simmons Records.
I only checked out the band recently when I heard they were supporting Buckcherry on tour in the UK and I have to say I loved what I heard as soon as I played it.
