DSC_0722rushonrock tip for 2010 Marya Roxx impressed the masses on the Hard Rock Hell main stage last weekend but now she’s out to make her mark on the world.

The metal chick based in LA, but hailing from the Baltic state of Estonia, has it all – the tunes, the looks and a red hot band.

Needless to say we’ll be bringing you much more Marya next year but for now take a look at what makes her tick. Read the rest of this entry »

EXCLUSIVE – Winger Interview

Posted by simon On November - 3 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

winger1bookWinger produced some of the greatest songs ever to emerge from the hair metal era two decades ago and despite constant ridicule on MTV survived to fight another day.

That day has arrived with the release of the sensational Karma – one of the contenders for rushonrock‘s albums of the year – and a full UK headline tour next March.

Founder member Kip Winger took time out to look back on the hair metal glory days, the bittersweet taste of commercial success and why it’s obvious he’s in a band crammed full with his best buddies. Oh, and he even gives his verdict on grunge… Read the rest of this entry »

firehouseFirehouse – When I Look Into Your Eyes (Snare/Leverty) b/w Life In The Real World (Snare/Leverty) 1992

The lighter waving classic was issued as a rather strangely sculpted seven inch vinyl in the UK and to this day we can’t determine what it’s supposed to represent. But what this single looks like shouldn’t detract from what it sounds like – and it sounds exactly how any hair metal anthem should with layered vocals, a soaring guitar solo and some of the best cheese this side of France.

The slightly nasal tone of lead singer CJ Snare might have annoyed many but with sales of seven million and counting under their belts Firehouse must be doing something right. And they’re still doing it today! Read the rest of this entry »

ricky-warwickAlmighty star Ricky Warwick goes head to head with the might of Heaven & Hell this week as we look ahead to the best of tomorrow’s releases – today.

The workaholic Ulsterman releases his latest stab at solo salvation in the shape of the barnstorming yet stripped down Belfast Confetti while Tony Iommi and Ronnie James Dio unite again to unleash some frankly spooky metal on the masses.

Plus there’s a look at a new (at least to us) US outfit  called Noxious – can this hard hitting quintet really kick up a stink in the rock world? Wait and see…  Read the rest of this entry »
