Melodic Rock, AOR, Hard Rock, Prog, Classic Rock news
The release of “Somewhere In California” marked NIGHT RANGER‘s 30th Anniversary and it was some kind of a the culmination of the group’s work all over these years. It packs everything the fans could ask for; melodic cuts and hard rocking numbers, pretty much returning to their classic ’80s sound yet with an updated production.This Japanese Edition includes a bonus...

If one album which really represents the true Melodic Rock / AOR sound of the ’80s deserved to be reissued that is “Ambition” by TOMMY SHAW, and Rock Candy specialists have done a terrific job with it, perhaps the best remastering work ever from this excellent British label. The name Tommy Shaw will always be synonymous with Styx, the hugely...

In 2016 it’s not easy to be a TED NUGENT fan but if you put aside his political views you have to admit that the man made some amazing rock ’n’ roll music in the Seventies. Nugent’s last release of that decade “State Of Shock” has just been reissued in a remastered form on vinyl LP by Culture Factory USA...
Frontiers Music are reissuing some of their very early releases now deleted, and one of these is the terrific solo debut by Night Ranger’s vocalist / drummer KELLY KEAGY.
