Maybe Never – Maybe Never 2018
Just as “Smells Like Sin” served as the introduction to Maybe Never through the live gig, it launches the album. The song makes a statement about Maybe Never. It lays out perfectly what the band is about. Heavy, yet loaded with enough melodies to please. The thunderous beat driven by drummer Aaron Robinson. The thumping basslines from bassist A.D. Zimmer. The tasty guitar solo, showcasing Steve Cone‘s abilities. But the real strength is Jody Luce‘s vocals, clear and forceful, exuding immense power.
JOKER – JOKER (1995)
I think brasilian bands have the right mentality for the genre.Like Dr.Sin,Joker play a very interesting and extremely personal pure sophisticated hard rock in arrangments with a technical and remarkable rhythmic session(especially drums).These bands need more lucky and some remarkable contract,unfortunately it’s their only cd I suppose.Singer is very good in low/normal tones,not so good in high tones,very personal choruses,too!My fave songs are’Just to leave’and’Suicidal lover’,10/10 for style!

No Love Lost – Bliss 2020
The second record of the North Carolina-based American band is an alternative for GOTTHARD , GREAT WHITE or WARRANT at least. There’s a guest appearance by Paul Shortino (ROUGH CUTT) on “Good Times“. “Bliss“ is „feel good“ rock and emotional as well and offers a lot.
THE BOMBERS – Aim High +3 (AOR Heaven digitally remastered) 2020
A supergroup formed by Alan Lancaster & John Coghlan from Status Quo, and John Brewster of The Angels, “Aim High” was released by a A&M in 1990, so expect that huge major label production and melodic hard rock goodness. I always thought The Bombers as the Australian answer to Damn Yankees, and you can hear into their sound as well touches of Y&T, Thunder, Night Ranger, Hurricane, etc. This album simply kills.

Sic Vikki – Kiss Me In French 1993
Very good 80’s US commercial hard rock with every song sticking in your head. A couple of excellent slower songs in “Her body compliments the beat” & “Damage is done” plus good upbeat numbers with singalong choruses like “Tough Enough”, “Baby talks dirty”, & “Stop breaking my broken heart”. For fans of Danger Danger, Firehouse etc…

Rox Diamond – Rox Diamond (1992)
Fletchanator’s comment: LA-based Rox Diamond were originally known as Casanova (with a different drummer), but changed the name because of an existing band with the same name in Germany.
