Album Of The Week – WAYFARER – ‘American Gothic’
WAYFARER are a band from Denver, Colorado, that play a unique brand of Metal. The new album is 'American Gothic'. It's full of cool, 'moody' riffing, with a 'Western American' ring to it, aggressive vocals, and great songs. Great music for the highway. It's on heavy rotation here. __________
Album Of The Week – KK’s PRIEST – ‘The Sinner Rides Again’

Album Of The Week – MERCENARY – ‘Soundtrack For The End Times’

JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13 have a new album out called, 'Crash Of Life'. It's Melodic Hard Rock of very high order. Girish Pradhan (of Girish And The Chronicles) is handling lead vocal duties, and the band is a who's who of elite musos, so why not check this album out...

Album Of The Week – BUCKCHERRY – ‘Vol. 10’
BUCKCHERRY are one of those bands that keep working hard putting out rocking albums. 'Vol. 10' came out the other day and is a good solid album of hard hitting rockers. 'You wanna party? Then get on the bus and let's go'. It's good time party stuff and they...
