Hi everyone and get ready for more tunes. I'll be brief this time around as I'm still recovering from a nasty cold (not covid).
The Australian heavy music dealers, Parkway Drive, have a new single out. If you haven't watched the film about the band (Netflix) then give it a look. This is a band that has become huge through sheer hard work. The song has a great guitar riff and a groovy clip too.

I've been a Stryper fan since about 1987 and that's not going to end anytime soon. Their latest tune is classic Stryper with a bit of classic Judas Priest sound in there too. I'm not 100% sure about the melody in the chorus but it will probably grow on me. Michael Sweet has a heap of side projects out there too if you want the classic metal sound with a different lyrical vibe.

I'm only playing the next track because I saw that there's a new live album available and I couldn't resist listening to this track when I read the title. Having said that, it's a cool track and the setlist on the live album looks pretty good so I'll cue it up during the week.

I heard about the next guy on the Iain Anderson show streamed via the BBC. Adam sings Glasgow street songs, school songs, songs about buildings and songs about Scotland. It's gritty, honest, raw and delivered with the letter R rolled about as hard as is humanly possible.

Lastly, I heard Henry Rollins on a tribute album to Waylon Jennings and had a listen. His track is great (click here) but the next one by Norah Jones was sublime. What a voice!

That'll do. I'm off to bed.
