FULL TILT – FULL TILT 2012
One of the perks of running this website is the vast amount of new music from virtually unknown groups that comes across my desk. I still get excited when a new Ratt or Whitesnake album comes out, but bands like that have a lot of baggage to live up too, so it’s refreshing to listen without any expectations or preconceived notions.
The Erotics – Preaching to the Choir (2014)
In the early fall of 2012 Mike, Billy, & Johnny entered Don Fury Studio in Troy, NY.
They set up shop, drew up a set list, invited a room full of raucous fans, and rolled tape.
This is the raw footage of that event. What You hear is what you get!!!

Ian Hunter – When I’m President 2012
When I’m President may be Ian Hunter’s best solo album since his first. It’s a bold return to brash rock, but you never lose the sense that the onetime frontman of the greatest show on earth quit writing for an audience decades ago. Still, there’s not a writer who speaks for us all more eloquently. He might write in a dark room sans shades, but when he sings we listen.
