Background To Article: Interview with INFECTED RAIN – Lena Scissorhands, singer and songwriter of the Moldovan metal band. In a very honest and interesting interview held at the Garage in Glasgow, she chats about her lyrics, the English language, substance abuse, being on a major label, passport problems and singer Pink! Fascinating, charming and always interesting, […]
At the somewhat almost silly time of 6:20pm, Infected Rain took to the stage of the Garage in Glasgow. Performing their first-ever show in Scotland and only their second ever in the UK! Being on so early (the venue has a curfew and it was a 3 band bill) meant that the room was a […]
Why? WHY? A million words have been written about how good Y&T are live in concert and that’s because every one of them is true. Witnessing Dave Menketti and the guys at the final show of their UK tour was a true privilege. One of the great mysteries of our time is why Y&T never became true megastars. That question still […]
The band D.A.D once sang that the best damned parties are thrown at “The Rim Of Hell”. After Sunday night I think there is a very good chance that Royal Republic are the house band! They created a fun party atmosphere with people dancing, singing, swaying and rowing imaginary boats at points! Almost a normal […]
Seeing that Finnish band Battle Beast signed on to tour North America with Kamelot and Sonata Arctica both Shawn and I were interested. To be honest, my band out of those three is the stage setters of Battle Beast. Personally, I’m not much into Kamelot or Sonata Arctica. But is it worth the ticket cost […]
The first time I heard Danko Jones “Bounce” I was overtaken. His sound was so different, so fresh. It had a funk to it but was also balls-out hard rock. The song used to play on the radio in the kitchen at work or in my car while I was delivering pizzas thanks to the […]
Since first hearing the album’s lead-off track, “Get Out of My Tree”, it’s catchy hum along chorus will not leave my grey matter. The album arrived at the doorstep of CGCM Central and our staff writer and all-around good guy Trevor “Psychoone” McDougall jumped on an album review. Check it out here: Bexatron – Hey […]
Sometimes it’s good to try new things. Get out of your comfort zone. I did just that at Sweden Rock 2019. All hell-bent for leather on seeing Saxon on Saturday, June 8, 2019, at the festival, that plan dissipated surprisingly easy. It was suggested to me that “you’ve seen Saxon many times”. Indeed I have, […]
Once again the first band of the day proves how Sweden Rock should be started! They again, like The Wild! yesterday, hold the “Best Band of the Day” title! I present Burning Witches, a quintet of ladies hailing from Switzerland. Springing to life (or wisping out of a cauldron perhaps), Burning Witches started out in […]
English Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden began in the mid-’70s. They attained success in the 80s and were leading pioneers in the NWOBHM movement. In the year 2001 the Iron Maiden tribute band The Iron Maidens was born. As the World’s Only Female Tribute to Iron Maiden, The Iron Maidens dazzle fans with sheer talent […]
