Review & Description

The band who broke onto the national scene in 1999 returns. "I am playing the hell out of it. It combines all the best elements of Aerosmith and Guns N Roses in their prime" - Eddie Trunk (Q104 NYC syndicated radio host and VH1 Classic on-air personality). "Coming on like the Black Crowes by way of AC/DC, this LA-based band is at its best blasting its way through hard-hitting riff rockers" - Entertainment Weekly.Buckcherry reestablish their status as one of the most raucous and delightfully dirty-minded acts in the industry today with 15, a truly bombastic rock & roll blast. Vocalist Josh Todd leads this high-energy act into battle with the colossal one-two-three punch of "So Far," "Next 2 You," and "Out Of Line," each anchored by the weighty rhythm section of drummer Xavier Muriel and bassist Jimmy Ashhurst, then elevated by the Olympian guitar attack of Keith Nelson and Stevie D. But while an appropriate levity prevails on those tracks and others--such as "Crazy Bitch," "Broken Glass," and the good time stomp "Brooklyn"--the band also find time to show a more sensitive and mature side with the hit-worthy and country-inflected "Carousel," plus the unapologetically melancholy "Sorry." If there's a fault to be found on 15 it doesn't reveal itself easily, and if there's a fault to be found with Buckcherry it is perhaps that they imbue listeners with a zest for living. But that clearly is no crime. --Jedd Beaudoin Read more

Review & Description

Red Wanting Blue is one of the top unsigned bands in the country. They've got thousands of fans, and played thousands of shows. But they've never had a record deal. And they've also never given up. In THESE MAGNIFICENT MILES: ON THE LONG ROAD WITH RED WANTING BLUE, Director Ken Davenport follows "the hardest working rock band in America" (Scott Terry, Greg Rahm, Mark McCullough, Eric Hall, Eddie Davis and Dean Anshutz) as they record their eighth self-produced album and hit the road in search of the rock and roll dream they've had since they were kids. Will this new album be the one? Or will this finally be the end of the beloved band that has been trying to make it for more than 14 years? Read more

Review & Description

A giant of the music industry grants an all-access pass to the world of rock and roll, with mesmerizing stories of thirty-five years spent working with legends from Led Zeppelin, to Stevie Nicks, to Nirvana.

Danny Goldberg has been a hugely influential figure in the world of rock and roll. He did PR for Led Zeppelin; he managed the career of Nirvana; he ran Atlantic Records, Mercury Records, and Warner Bros. Records; he launched Stevie Nicks’s solo career. In Bumping into Geniuses, Goldberg shares his stories about performers who represent a broad and powerful portion of the psychic real estate of the rock and roll kingdom: Patti Smith, Warren Zevon, Bruce Springsteen, KISS, Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, Hole, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Steve Earle, Led Zeppelin, and more.

But there’s more to this story than just Goldberg’s varied career. It’s also a look at the industry itself: a business that was neither the romantic vehicle for self-expression that its most naive fans imagined, nor the purely crass money machine depicted by its most cynical critics. It was complex and chaotic—a mixture of art and commerce, idealism and selfishness—and sometimes, rock’s most gifted and influential musicians were able to transcend it all.

For anyone interested in the rock and roll industry, or simply the mores and temperaments of the musicians themselves, Bumping into Geniuses is an incredible insider’s tale that only Goldberg could tell. Read more

Review & Description

1969: San Francisco is the epicenter of all things hip . . . at least according to Tula, a young girl arriving from Canada, obsessed with becoming a flower child, and searching for love in the Haight-Ashbury's fading counterculture. When an ad in a local underground newspaper inspires her to join a community effort to transform a UC Berkeley-owned lot into a "people's park," Tula gets her first taste of activism while falling for a charismatic, politically-savvy grad student. Caught between worlds, she tries to balance the hippies' laidback lifestyle with the protest movement's determination to save the planet. Another little piece of her heart is stolen by the sexy lead singer of a hot new British rock band that passes through town. Throw in a trip to Altamont to see the Rolling Stones, and you've got a year no teenager could easily forget. A rarified post-Summer of Love climate frames the dynamic backdrop for what is a poignant, and often funny, coming-of-age love story. It's Santana, Moby Grape, and the Grateful Dead - Bill Graham's Fillmore West in its heyday. It's Berkeley agitators, Haight-Ashbury freaks, and a Ronald Reagan-regulated mainstream, all struggling to coexist within the close confines of the San Francisco Bay Area. Love Haight '69 is Tanya Coad's first novel. This ode to the sixties paints an experience that is authentic, rich in detail, and delves beyond the usual clichés of what was one of the most exciting chapters in modern day American history.

Review & Description

UFO: Shoot Out The Lights… the first EVER book on classic British rock act UFO! Included in this 257 page barnstormer is a huge pile of previously unpublished stuff from Martin Popoff’s many interviews over the years with Phil Mogg, Pete Way, Michael Schenker, Paul Chapman, Neil Carter, Paul Raymond, Atomic Tommy, Danny Peyronel and a bunch of other guys. Like Martin’s recent Blue Oyster Cult and Rush books, the format is album by album, song by song. Says Martin: “I don’t think there are any songs, from the debut through to You Are Here, that don’t get talked about by me or the guys or both. In and around that though, there is lots of tour talk, gettin’ inside the guys’ heads (lots of Schenker in that respect), and of course, some tales revolving (spinning?) around the demons drug and drink.” Also included is a full band discography with virtually all the side-project and solo stuff included; song titles as well. For more, here’s the back cover text… Doctor, Doctor, Rock Bottom, Mother Mary, Shoot Shoot, Lights Out, Too Hot To Handle, Only You Can Rock Me, No Place To Run, The Wild The Willing And The Innocent… …such is only a sampling of the distinguished brilliance Phil Mogg, Pete Way and their merry band of co-wreckers have gotten up to over 35 years and many more beers of daring rock ‘n’ roll destruction. From the self-titled record in 1971, to 2004’s shimmery and hopeful You Are Here, UFO has been persevering through lineup bust-ups, music business hell-scapes, and grim self-abuses that would have killed lesser rock ‘n’ rollers. Along the way, such records as Force It, No Heavy Petting, Lights Out, Obsession, Strangers In The Night, Making Contact, and Walk On Water, the superlative ‘90s comeback album with the enigmatic Michael Schenker, have crash-landed in arenas around the globe. UFO – Shoot Out The Lights celebrates the careening career of this classic, classy, eminently British hard rock institution, album by album, song by song, blow by bleary-eyed blow. Through extensive discussion with band members past and present, Popoff digs into the motivations behind UFO’s many revered records, while also touching upon those of the Michael Schenker Group, Waysted and Mogg/Way. Pour yourself a stiff one, ‘cos we’re expecting some turbulence! About The Author… Martin Popoff has written ten books on hard rock, heavy metal and classic rock. His 11th, UFO: Shoot Out The Lights, joins Blue Oyster Cult: Secrets Revealed! in an ongoing series of album-by-album analyses commissioned by Metal Blade Records, an institution in the heavy metal field, now in its 23rd year of distinguished service. Martin is also the Editor In Chief of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, and is a regular contributor to Guitar World, Lollipop, Goldmine, Record Collector, Classic Rock, Chart, bravewords.com, chartattack.com, lollipop.com and hardradio.com.

Review & Description

The long-awaited, definitive story of one of the most creative and commercial rock groups of all time, Genesis

 

One of the most imaginative, courageous, and unpredictable music acts ever, Genesis evolved from pioneers of progressive music in the 1970s to a global phenomenon, topping charts and selling over 150 million albums worldwide. The story of their band spans thirty years and thirty albums, and through all the changes in the band’s line-up and musical direction, the spirit of Genesis has remained constant and undimmed.

 

Genesis: Chapter & Verse is the ultimate addition to any fan’s collection, setting the record straight as the band’s members tell their story their way. Remarkably, the band survived the high-profile departure of not one lead vocalist, but two (Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins), two influential guitarists (Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett), and its best-known drummer (Phil Collins). Genesis simply got stronger and bigger – matching the huge solo success of Gabriel, Collins, and Mike + The Mechanics.

 

A collaboration between all the members of Genesis, past and present, Genesis: Chapter and Verse is the band’s definitive autobiography: an intimate, no-holds-barred, no-stone-unturned history that allows character and personality to come to the forefront. Covering the band’s story as well as the writing and performance of significant songs from each period, this treasure trove of text and photographs provides long-awaited insight into the way this exceptional group of songwriters worked together, allowing the band to dispatch more than a few sacred cows along the way. It is a book like none other, and an exclusive look into the life and times of one of rock’s most influential and lasting groups.
