To Be Addicted’s debut album “Rocktopus” has it all: heavy guitar riffs, pumping bass lines, trembling drums, powerful vocals and a lot of catchy melodies. These guys from Switzerland know what rock music is about and this is what you get to hear on this album. Let’s start with the energetic opener “Lowbird” which is driven by earthy, hard rocking guitar riffs and a foot-stamping drum groove.

Another great band that came out in the midst of the grunge era and couldn’t survive. It’s a fantastic effort by these guys to. They sound like a mix of Skid Row and Dokken to me. Definately an overlooked release.

Hailing from Manchester, The Shambolic are the best parts of classic rock with an edge so gritty they could melt an ice cap.With growling vocals, the Shambolic are a fusion of punk, heavy metal and rock. With a set louder than a thunder storm.

After the completion of the debut album Menetekel took four more years, is now almost two years later, the successor Kantata ready to flatter himself in the ear canals.
