Click on the playlist here.
I Am The One
We Got Tonite
Outloud
What can I say, I’m a sucker for melodic rock.
You Can’t Take Me Down
Playing With Fire
Dream Child
Craig Goldy’s little project is doing okay. People are interested, let’s see what comes next.
Lover, Leaver
Greta Van Fleet
They finally dropped an album and its selling, their previous EP is selling and people are listening. The only way is up. It’s up to them.
Self-Inflicted Wounds
Joe Bonamassa
From his “Redemption” album. On each album, there is always a track or two that connects with me.
Oblivion
Stratovarius
Can’t say I’m a fan of the band, but this song is good.
The whole Unheavenly Creatures album.
Coheed and Cambria
Read my review of it here.
Royal Beggars
Hereafter
A Wasted Hymn
Architects
Sometimes the vocal screaming gets to me, but in these three songs it’s a good mix of emotions and musically there is a lot to unpack.
The whole Firesign album.
Dynazty
Check out my review here.
The One You Loved Is Gone
Slash, Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators
Read my review here.
Are You Ready
The Best Ones Lie
Disturbed
These two are the best on the album and ignore the rest.
All The Time In The World
Whitesnake
From the surprise “Unzipped” album.
As I Fall
Afterlife
After Midnight
Andy James
Great instrumental guitar playing.
Hold The Line
Bonfire
From their “Legends” album covering a classic song that I used to cover in bands.
Swallow
I Am Fuel
Panoptical
Sons Of War
The End Will Begin Again
Thieves and Legend
Days Of Jupiter
Every era has a band that sounds similar to a famous band and then end up overtaking the band that influenced them in songwriting and risk taking.
In this case Days Of Jupiter runs rings around Disturbed but Disturbed is the one with the popularity.
Threatening War
Far Below
White Mist
Shed A Light
The Pineapple Thief
From their “Dissolution” album which is their twelfth album. Yep, you read that correct. Album number twelve and I’m hearing about the band for the first time.
It’s the way of our world know and it takes time to rise above the static noise. Just be patient and remember, music is a lifers game.
I’m A Ratt
Stephen Pearcy
From his “View To A Thrill” album. This song sounds like the ratt and roll that Robin Crosby used to bring to RATT.
First Time
Aftermath
Freedom
Long Shot
Royal Tusk
I was taken by surprise by “Tusk II”. It’s more rockier, even metal at certain times and the lyrics are more angrier.
Just Tell Me Something (featuring Danny Worsnop)
All That Remains
From their “Victims Of The New World” album. It’s the first song that stood out to me and demanded I press repeat.
What will happen to the band remains to be seen.
The Messenger
Circles
From “The Last One” album.
They are from Australia and ead this review of the album, as I totally agree with it and feel no need to further elaborate. http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2018/08/29/circles-the-last-one/
Life On Titan
Vault Of Heaven
Voices From The Fuselage
Ashe from TesseracT is back with his pre-TesseracT band.
Mayday
Digital Summer
A fully independent band who control their own destiny. They have been releasing singles from a forthcoming album in between jobs as paramedics and raising kids.
The Clincher – Version 103
Chevelle
From their “12 Bloody Spies: B Sides and Rarities” album. The vocal feel hooks me in.
Without You I’m Nothing
Rockin With The Boys
Bronx Boy
Mission To Mars
Ace Frehley
From his “Spaceman” album. Read Deke’s review over at Thunder Bay.
And that’s it. 2018 is a wrap. See ya next year.

Cheers To Ya!
