REVIEW : Alchemy --- Dyadic (Street Symphonies Records, 2019)

Italian hard rockers ALCHEMY are back in business with their second album entitled "Dyadic". The band's debut opus was released back in 2016 and it was a solid record all the way. "Never Too Late", the debut, included some excellent and edgy hard rock tracks, nice arrangements, killer guitars and overall left a sweet taste in my ears. As I mentioned back then : "Never Too Late is the band's first work I have to say that this band has a potential for bigger things in the near future. There is no weak moment here, just pure and edgy hard rock...."

degreed : "BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN", NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!

“Modern rock just dosen’t get any better than this”

– Andrew Hawnt, Powerplay Magazine.

 

Last year Degreed released their self-titled album, the first release together with Gain/

Sony Music. The album was well received by fans and critics both internationally and back home in Sweden. Swedish magazine GAFFA wrote in their review:

"Degreed is still one of Sweden's most interesting bands" followed by Classic Rock: “As the saying goes, it’s all killer, no filler".

 

It’s safe to say that the album ‘degreed’ opened new doors for the band and shortly after the release they spent a month on the road together with Swedish rockers H.E.A.T in Europe.

 

Now they're going on a UK tour followed by a new album release later this year. 

 

The new song Born Under A Bad Sign is taken from the

upcoming album being released this fall.

”I think this is one of the better songs we’ve ever written. I love the vibe. It’s a song about dreams really. You may not come from a perfect past. No one does. But you’re not alone and anyone and everyone can make it. It may be a cliche, but don’t give up.”

- Degreed.

It seems people often have differing recollections of important events. Everyone has their perspective or a different point of view. Sometimes it’s hard, even for trained eyes and ears to trace the roots of relationships or find the source of a fire. If you were a serious musical archaeologist or perhaps simply a curious person with a shovel, and you were in San Francisco’s fog shrouded North Beach area, specifically on Columbus Ave. in the late-80s you would have been digging through the ash and sifting through the rubble of Bill Graham’s venue known as Wolfgang’s after the big fire. If you were lucky you might have found crucial evidence, tattered threads or charred clues hinting to the origin of Alliance. It was at Wolfgang’s that long time Sammy Hagar drummer David Lauser and a bandmate, both recently set adrift from the positions they had graced for years until Hagar jumped to join Van Halen, came to see the Robert Berry Band perform. It seems Lauser, along with guitarist Gary Pihl and Gamma / Night Ranger keyboardist Alan ‘Fitz’ Fitzgerald were searching for an allusive missing piece for a new project they were plotting. There was a spark for sure. But would it become a flame or a smouldering match?

REVIEW : WILD AMERICA --- GASOLINE (Kivel Records, 2018)

Now, this is an excellent album all the way!! Call it arena hard rock, hair metal or just ass-kicking melodic hard rock, Wild America's "Gasoline" album is just awesome!! Wild America is a band that with its brand new opus brings back the sound of the U.S. hard rock scene with style. Influenced by bands such as Damn Yankees, Night Ranger, Trixter and Danger Danger "Gasoline" is an album that will put a wide smile upon your face.

This album follows the 2011 critically acclaimed studio album “Forevermore” and 2015’s “The Purple Album”, a reimagining of Deep Purple classics from Whitesnake mastermind’s David Coverdale’s time in that band.
