REVIEW : SMOKING SNAKES, Danger Zone (Frontiers Music s.r.l. Release: 9 February 2024)

Smoking Snakes is a new Sleaze Hair Metal/Hard Rock band that is hailing from Sweden and "Danger Zone" is entitled its debut opus that is going to be released through Frontiers Music this February (9th). 

REVIEW : 17 Crash --- Hit The Prey (April 2018, Volcano Records)

The story of this sleaze hard rock band started back in 2011 in Italy. 17 Crash is a band that is heavenly influenced by the late 80's U.S. sleaze melodic hard rock scene and their aim is to bring back this sound big and loud. The debut, "Reading Your Dirty Minds", was released in 2015 through Demon Doll Records and left a promise for bigger things in the near future.

REVIEW : SANTA CRUZ --- BAD BLOOD RISING (2017)

Now this is a monster release, believe me! Santa Cruz returns to the music business with this simply breathtaking and killer record. "Bad Blood Rising" is entitled Santa Cruz's newest opus and it's pure f@&*n' adrenaline!! This baby sounds like the bastard child of Skid Row, Guns N' Roses and Shotgun Messiah but there's a lot more than this. It's an album that includes all the muscle, all the attitude and all that to become really huge!

REVIEW : HELL IN THE CLUB --- See You On The Dark Side (2017, Frontiers Music s.r.l.)

I like this band a lot! With their debut album, "Let The Games Begin", back in 2011, the boys offered a solid record full of memorable hooks and choruses, heavy riffing, powerful vocals and a bad-ass late 80's attitude. But with the next two records, "Devil On My Shoulder" and "Shadow Of The Monster" Hell In The Club nailed it!!!!

REVIEW : TOXIC ROSE / Total Tranquility (2016)

Back in 2012, I received the promo of a band called Toxic Rose for a review in Heavy Paradise. And even though it was a short EP, it was a mind blowing stuff that included some bad-ass performances, tight as hell songs that recalled to Crashdiet, early Motley Crue and Faster Pussycat's music, hellish guitars and a solid production. So, I was looking forward to the band's next step, a full-length album.
