The Godz ‘S/T’ CANDY075

sinful1 — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:07:43 +0000

FORMED IN Columbus, Ohio this uncompromising four man hard rock band rapidly established a reputation as one of the most fearless, uncompromising acts on the scene. Moving quickly, Casablanca offshoot Millenium Records were quick to spot their potential, snapping them up as a sort of biker rock antidote to the flamboyant stadium cavorting of label mates Kiss and Angel. Produced by Grand Funk Railroad drummer Don Brewer, the GODZ debut album is an explosive statement laced with thick, bottom heavy riffs and simplistic, almost primal, guitar solos, whilst the lyrical content makes Kiss seem positively intellectual by comparison. Best of all, however, is the pure unrelenting power of the rhythm section; band leader and bassist Eric Moore outgonzoing Ted Nugent by a country mile. Make no mistake, this is a musical Mad Max soundtrack written and performed with motorcycles, whiskey and women in mind. Tracks such as ‘Gotta Keep A Runnin’’, ‘Under The Table’ and a choice interpretation of Golden Earring’s ‘Candy’s Going Bad’ make for some of the best hard rock music to have emerged from the mid seventies.

24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 4,000 word essay about the making of the album, additional previously unseen photos spread out over a 16 page full colour booklet.

TRACK LISTING: 1) Go Away 2) Baby I Love You 3) Guaranteed 4) Gotta Keep A Runnin’ 5) Under The Table 6) Cross Country 7) Candy’s Going Bad

FRONTED BY the charismatic Karen Lawrence, 1994: were one, in a long list, of great North American hard rock bands that time and fame overlooked. This, their sophomore album, was released in 1979, Geoff Barton, then writing for Sounds magazine, and now, of course, Editor At Large of Classic Rock, made no secret of his love for 1994’s music and the charms of Karen Lawrence, going so far as to acclaim them as a veritable cracker box of explosive guitar based rock topped off by a stellar performance from one of the best (female) vocalists of the era; a deadly yet cool combination of Heart and Aerosmith. Produced by the dynamic duo of Eddie Leonetti (Angel, Legs Diamond) and Jack Douglas, the album was lavished with fervent praise, attracting rave reviews both at home and abroad.

sinful1 — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:18:29 +0000

BRAND NEW studio album reuniting the core duo of Donnie Vie and Chip Z’Nuff.A record full of all things sugar and spice with a sound that continues in the finest EZN tradition of razor sharp riffs and melodies to die for. This is a band that instinctively know how to inject the maximum amount of melody and muscle into every riff and squeeze the best out of every chorus. If you don’t believe us then plug and play tracks such as ‘Lazy Dazy’, ‘Code Red’, ‘High’ and the beautiful ballad ‘Roll Away’. Prime EZN with all the grand musical accoutrements you might reasonably expect. And, as a special treat, the album contains two additional bonus tracks not available on the Japanese release.

Track listing: 1. Dissonance 2. Fine Line 3. Lazy Dazy 4. Rollaway 5. High 6. Altered States 7. Playground 8. Sometimes 9. Joni Lynn 10. Chicago 11. Code Red (Bonus track - Studio Outtake) 12. When Doves Cry 13. Run For Your Life (Bonus track - Studio Outtake)

Little Caesar ‘Redemption’ CANDYMAN002

sinful1 — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:16:47 +0000

LITTLE CAESAR, a tatted-up bunch of mean biker boys from Los Angeles, stood out a mile from the big haired, lipstick smeared glam contingent during the late 80s.They even scored a hit with a cool-as-a-cucumber cover of ‘Chain Of Fools’, a performance that separated the men from the boys by virtue of its pulsating energy and vocalist Ron Young’s gargantuan vocal delivery. In 2010, Ron and the boys can be found moving forward with a vengeance.The band has crafted a new album, titled ‘Redemption’, a record full of vim and vinegar. Going back to their roots – not that they ever left them – the emphasis is on tough-guy riffs, blues soaked vocals and the sort of earthy swagger that suggests men on one hell of a mission.

Track Listing: 1) Same Old Story 2) Supersonic 3) Loving You Is Killing Me 4) Witness Stand 5) Redemption 6) Sick And Tired 7) Real Rock Drive 8) That Was Yesterday 9) Every Picture Tells A Story/ Happy 10) Woodstock 11) Just Like A Woman
