Steve Swift’s Rambling Reviews

Weller Covers 2 Classics! And sounds like he has a returning mojo

2 little known tracks, one I remember very well, both faithful but easy and rather marvellous...

Crüzer Are A Crüsher! A Heavy Metal band who race around, gallop too and enjoy it while they do...

This is Crüzer's first shot and it's full of youthful exuberance, plus NWOBHM and Thrash chops; tasty...

Ward XVI Call You To The Rock Church!

From the hospital to the house of God, Ward XVI call all fans to order with a banging, Twinkling Metal sound; not a hymn, more like a sin...

Is The Hughes Turner Project Overlooked? The 2nd album certainly is...

Glenn Hughes? Joe Lynn Turner? JJ Marsh? All together? God yes, what a brace of albums, and this 2nd one is a doozy...

My Thoughts On NXT Battleground! Successes with some notable issues...

Some of these matches were just brilliant; shame about that La Famiglia feud and the main event...

Another Rock Album Of The Year Contender? Deraps Drop A Cracker...

What a sass bucket of rapscallions, rambunctious Rock. Aerosmith, Van Halen, even a tough of AC/DC; heady stuff...

Isn’t This What We Wanted From Di’Anno? The First Battlezone Album Is Metal, But...

This is what we wanted after the 1984 synth heavy self-titled band, was tough it? more Metal, harder stuff, so why wasn't this 1986 album welcomed more loudly?

Holler If You Like This AOR Classic Album!

It's the piano which makes all the difference, a fruity, full, fecund sound messing around with the guitar, providing excellent extras to these AOR and Melodic Rock tracks...

A Rob Halford Overlooked Album!

Rob Halford, 1998, a Marilyn Manson special 'Two' From His Voyeurs Project! Industro and a real departure, but it is any good?...

Böllverk Take Metal and Melodicise It! Shouldn’t work, absolutely does...

This Bavarian band do it right, juxtaposition of sweet and Salty, great Heavy Metal ensues...
