"Hey there,
Are you bored of the current music scene? We kinda wish we were born near Seattle and hit our 20′s when the 90′s grunge scene hit in… or at least around in the 70′s revolution with Hendrix, Jethro Tull etc… But we’re here… in the 2010′s and bored of the current idea of music… (apart from a very select few bands like Tool, Queens of the Stone Age and such the like) so we create music we think is worthy of those era’s, so as to survive this creative drought called ‘modern music’. 

You are in the right place if you want our best of album download for … F**K ALL!"

From their hometown of Rockford, Illinois, Cheap Trick has taken their inventive, high-energy brand of rock to every corner of the globe, selling over 20 million albums and amassing devotees from Kurt Cobain to Homer Simpson. The Complete Epic Albums Collection gathers their seminal recordings in one essential, exhaustive package. After all, songs like “I Want You to Want Me,” “Surrender,” “The Flame” and “Dream Police” don’t just live on the radio—they live inside of your head as well."

KISS, QUEEN (with Adam Lambert) and FAITH NO MORE To Headline SONISPHERE UK

The UK version of the Sonisphere festival has announced the three headliners and the first lot of bands for 2012.

The event will take place on July 6th-8th at Knebworth House.

Tickets will be available from 9am on Thursday, February 23rd (see below for details).

Sonisphere is proud to announce KISS as Friday's headliner. With a reputation for being perhaps the most flamboyant and entertaining band on the planet, the American Kings will bring their stage extravaganza to Sonisphere as their only European performance of 2012. While many bands have been chasing the eye liner shock horror dollar and have come and gone without changing the face of music as we know it, KISS have gone from strength to strength garnering praise, success and too many accolades to mention throughout the years, selling over 100 million albums worldwide and counting as the band is poised to unleash new album "Monster" in June 2012.

With a quarter of a century having since passed, rock legends QUEEN are to return to play a second concert at the venue that provided them with the setting for one of their biggest and most historic concerts.

QUEEN's Brian May and Roger Taylor have confirmed the band will headline the second day of Sonisphere appearing on the Apollo stage on Saturday, July 7. Knebworth was the setting for QUEEN's final concert with Freddie Mercury, in August 1986.

May and Taylor also confirmed that for this very special event they will be joined by U.S. singer-songwriter, and "American Idol" finalist, Adam Lambert.

The potent chemistry between QUEEN and Lambert broke the surface when at the invitation of Brian May and Roger Taylor, Lambert joined them for the closing showcase at the recent MTV Europe Music Awardswhere QUEEN were present to collect their "Global Icon" award.


For the final, Sunday night, Sonisphere Knebworth is proud to announce the legendary FAITH NO MORE as the headline act on the Apollo stage.

Onstage irreverent, uncompromising, unpredictable and dazzling at every turn, FNM have been setting new standards in exciting rock performance for more than two decades now. With classics such as "Falling To Pieces", "Epic", "Midlife Crisis" and "Be Aggressive", Mike Bordin,Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton are poised to set Knebworth on fire when they close the last night at Sonisphere with their only U.K. appearance of 2012.

The festival line-up, so far, is as follows...
KISS
QUEEN (with Adam Lambert)
FAITH NO MORE
WITHIN TEMPTATION
WOLFMOTHER
EVANESCENCE
THE DARKNESS
FLOGGING MOLLY
GOJIRA

LACUNA COIL
INCUBUS
MARILYN MANSON
CYPRESS HILL
ANDREW W.K.
REFUSED
MASTODON
THE BLACKOUT
FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM
GHOST
SWITCHFOOT

I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN
KATATONIA
TIM MINCHIN

Tickets are on sale from 9am, Thursday, February 23rd from Sonisphere.co.uk or 0844 871 8803.

They are priced at £145 for weekend tickets, £170 for three days with camping, £180 for four days with camping, a very limited number of day tickets available for £75. 

A deposit scheme will be launched at the same time for those who want to spread the cost of their ticket. A deposit of £50 will secure a weekend ticket, with the balance due anytime before 30th April 2011. Rock Royalty and Day VIP packages are also available at Sonisphere.co.uk.

TONY MARTIN Unveils New HEADLESS CROSS Line-up

Former BLACK SABBATH singer Tony Martin has announced the 2012 line-up of his HEADLESS CROSS touring project. The band celebrates the BLACK SABBATH album, "Headless Cross", in their live performances.

Their line-up includes the following musicians...
Tony Martin (Black Sabbath,The Cage) - Vocals
Danny "Danté" Needham (Venom) - Drums
Geoff Nicholls (ex-Black Sabbath) - Keyboards
Dario Mollo (Voodoo Hill, The Cage) - Guitar
Magnus Rosén (ex-Hammerfall) - Bass

HEADLESS CROSS is scheduled to perform on the east coast of England at the end of July, with more appearances to be announced.

Black Sabbath released "The Eternal Idol" (1987), "Headless Cross" (1989), "Tyr" (1990), "Cross Purposes" (1994), "Cross Purposes Live" (1995) and "Forbidden" (1995) albums with Tony Martin on vocals

Martin revealed that we would not be seeing him on tour much in the future...

"It's just too hard, every time we go out on the road, we lose money. They expect us to play for free or for less and less each time and we can't run an operation like that. It's just not possible. That's disappointing, 'cause I want to be out on the road! It's a natural place for a musician to be. Playing gigs is part of the fun. But you can't do it for nothing, and if you have to sell your house or your car or have to get a day job as an electrician or something to pay to go and play, then that's no fun and it's also damaging to your family and your life."

Martin's last solo album, "Scream", was released in November 2005 via MTM Music and featured Cozy Powell on the track "Raising Hell" as well as songwriting contributions by Geoff Nicholls.

New WALTER TROUT Album & UK Tour Dates

All Photo Credits for this Posting: Austin Hargrave

Critically acclaimed American blues rock guitarist, Walter Trout, today announced the release of his new studio album, "Blues For The Modern Daze".

The album is released by Provogue Records (a division of Mascot Label Group), in the UK on Monday 23rd April, followed by US release on 24th April.

To support the upcoming album, Trout will embark on a UK tour in March. 

Dates are as follows...

06th March - The Brook, Southanpton
07th March - O2 Academy, Newcastle
08th March - City Varieties, Leeds
09th March - O2 Academy, Sheffield
10th March - The Grand, Clitheroe
11th March - The Lowery, Salford
12th March - Arts Centre, Pontadarwe
13th March - The Glee Club, Cardiff
14th March - Robin 2, Bilston,

15th March - The Tunnels, Bristol
16th March - The Wharf,, Tavistock

"Blues for the Modern Daze, showcases the contemporary guitar legend’s return to his hardcore blues roots. The album is Trout’s sixth recording forProvogue, and his first fully-fledged blues album in 23 years as a bandleader. Trout’s practical schooling in blues started when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1973 and secured gigs behind Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, Finis Tasby, Pee Wee Crayton, Lowell Fulsom, Percy Mayfield and Joe Tex. By 1981 he joined the remaining original members of Canned Heat. 

The turning point for Trout was his tenure with British blues giant John Mayall. Trout became part of the Bluesbreakers’ lineage of great guitarists along with Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. By 1989, Trout formed his own band, released his debut album Life In the Jungle, and rapidly became a star in Europe. His first US release, 1998's critically heralded Walter Trout, made him a permanent fixture in the American blues rock scene. 

"My main inspiration for this album,” says Trout, “was the country bluesman Blind Willie Johnson, an early blues innovator who recorded such timeless gospel informed blues numbers as Soul of a Man and Nobody’s Fault But Mine. His music is beautiful, primal, direct and deeply spiritual. “The album explores a side of my music that’s rooted in my first musical love, and it reveals something about me, too. It sums up the thoughts and attitudes of somebody who is getting a little older and is feeling like he’s a part of another era, with different values and a different perspective on life that’s prevalent today.”
