I can't believe what a great response we received to the previous issue...an amazing amount of readers on-line, from all corners of the globe. Sadly, Ivana was offered a top editorial role, with a top salary, so she simply had to go for it....thanks for everything you did for the us, Ivana !!

So, with my own musical career taking a turn for the better, I'm finding it hard to put the mag together each month, as I simply don't have the time anymore.....so, we're going Bi-Monthly after the next issue...

Anyway, my band, The Pyratz, are making waves [ pardon the pun ] back on the scene and will have a brand new album out before June, with live shows starting in May 2010. make sure you check us out - The Pyratz

The May Issue will feature a special focus on the fashion and art world's, as well as the obvious musical features....and I'm so very pleased to be able to say this...but my friend, and original punk rock designer, Natasha will be on the cover....

Voltage - Re-union show review

Voltage were an original late 70's heavy rock band from the North West of England, who played to packed houses everywhere they toured, yet so little is known of them. We had heard along the grapevine that they were reforming for a 'one-off' show in their hometown....so we just had to go see for ourselves!!! check it out HERE

 

Motorhead, The Damned & Girlschool - Live Review

What a night!!!!  Girlschool, The Damned AND Motorhead on one stage, in four hours of total metal mayhem!! Its a familiar line-up as these bands have links going waaaayyyy back to the 70's. We caught this rockin' rollin' steam-roller of a tour at the Manchester show....See for yourselves, right HERE

 

Electric Six - Danger, Danger...High Voltage!

Electric Six, back in the UK to perform a series of live shows to an eager audience, played one of the best sets we at SoundCheck have ever seen.....the masters of electro-dance-punk lay it down with meaning and the crowd lap it all up, as the 'Dance Commander' leads the sway!!! Check out the review right HERE

Some text about RUST's new album here......, right HERE
