Buckcherry are a band synonymous with hard rock.
Throughout their career they have released the hit singles “Crazy Bitch”, “Lit Up” and “Next To Youâ but have also cracked the charts with slow burners such as âSorryâ and âEverythingâ.
Although equally at home with the ballad or rock number, long time fans will be pleased to hear that their upcoming ninth studio album Hellbound is definitely more of the former, with guitarist Stevie D ...
Pop Evil have always been a band unafraid to give their music space to breath and develop, working loosely within the realms of rock to continually push the boundaries of whichever genre they feel like settling into at the time.
While essentially a rock band at their core, Pop Evil are equally adept at penning power ballads as outstanding rock numbers and it is this musical freedom that has seen their career trajectory trend upwards over the course of the five-album ...

By virtue of the title alone, Pop Evilâs sixth offering Versatile is an expansive record, pushing the safer side of rock and at times venturing into hard rock territory.

Itâs been a long time between releases (that what she said) for Sydney metal masters Our Last Enemy.

With able stickman John Sankey (Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, Devil You Know) in the drum seat, prepare to have your balls broken to the point of infertility as youâre treated to a masterclass in savage, remorseless supremacy ...
Acolyteâs second studio album Entropy, is a mostly straight-ahead 4/4 progressive sounding adventure that suffers from the occasional instrumentation problem with the keyboard (either outdated synths, or poor sounding strings), and occasionally coming across like the soundtrack to Elder Scrolls volume 28 : The Hobbitses Rise Again (obviously and particularly the track “Resilience”)
