_{Danish rockers Pretty Maids release “Louder Than Ever” through Frontiers Records on 21st March. The album is part re-recordings of tracks from the 1995 – 2006 period and part new material, with five of the twelve tracks being the latter. The band celebrated their 30th anniversary recently with an extensive tour to support the release of “Motherland” in 2013 and “Louder Than Ever” has been labelled as an in-between album pending release of their next studio album. That shouldn’t take anything away from the current release however, as the new tracks are all great tunes and more than compliment the reworked tracks.}

_{There are two NI Rocks Shows each week on Rock Radio NI.}

_{The NI Rocks A – Z Show is essentially an alphabetical reflection of the music that I have on my iPod. It is first broadcast at 7pm UK time on a Tuesday night and is repeated again over the following days and at the weekend. Shows are also available from the On Demand Player for about 8 weeks following upload - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/hosts/ni-rocks.html}

 

_{The Friday NI Rocks Show will feature just whatever takes my fancy each week. This will be a mix of local bands, classic tracks and new releases. It is first broadcast at 9pm UK time on a Friday night and is repeated again over the following days and at the weekend. Shows are also available from the On Demand Player for about 8 weeks following upload - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/hosts/ni-rocks-friday-rock-show.html}
