rushonrock faves Remedy have completed work on their debut album – the follow up to critically acclaimed EP Strange Fast Now.

And after laying down the tracks at Newcastle’s Blast Studios the quartet is London-bound next month for a date with studio guru Jon Astley.

The man who produced The Who and Eric Clapton in the 70s would appear to be the perfect choice to master Remedy’s retro cool sound and the band is confident of a May release. Read the rest of this entry »

Another diverse week of rock releases should provide all those romantics out there with plenty of food for thought ahead of Valentine’s Day but The Who’s latest greatest hits package will be the biggest seller of the week.

We rate the Super Bowl-bound vets alongside new releases from Robin Brock, Edge Of Forever, Titan and Orden Ogan.

And there’s a full review of thrash legends Anthrax‘s repackaged and remastered classic Among the Living, featuring the Live In London DVD Oidivnikufesin (NFV). Read the rest of this entry »

As The Who prepare to blow the sporting world away with a half-time show at the 2010 Super Bowl it’s high time the band re-release the best of their brilliant back catalogue.

And the day after their February 7, 12-minute Super Bowl medley, the iconic rockers dish up Greatest Hits & More – a surefire best seller.

With The Who as relevant now as they were 30 years ago expect a full review of the double CD set right here and read on for the full track listing. Read the rest of this entry »

They’re 40 years old and still producing top notch classic rock – no wonder rushonrock‘s resident columnist Self Made Man can’t get enough of UFO.

In the first part of an exclusive chat with drummer Andy Parker, our man talks Strangers In The Night, setlists and the changing demographic of an audience sure to flock to Newcastle’s Academy next month. Read the rest of this entry »

If you like your rock thought-provoking, powerful, passionate and prog-ish then you’ll already own Rose Hill Drive’s Moon Is The New Earth (Megaforce) and we’re preaching to the converted.

But if this little gem of a band from Boulder CO has passed you by then we’re happy to set your SatNav to Rose Hill Drive right away.

Head past Van Halen, via The Who, take a right at just about any major rock event of the last 30 years and you’re bound to find them. On first listen rushonrock  found MITNE all a bit samey but this is an album to whack on repeat and realise its true depth at your leisure.

In retrospect it’s no surprise that Rolling Stone named Rose Hill Drive one of the ‘Top 10 To Watch’ in 2007. So where exactly are you supposed to watch a band to watch?

Well luckily for those of us embedded in the rock heartland that is the North East there is the perfect place. It’s Newcastle’s Carling Academy 2 and the date is September 5. It’s one of only SIX UK dates so let’s make sure the boys get the very best of Geordie welcomes next month.
