THE CLOUDS – 30th Anniversary of Penny Century Australian Tour
THE CLOUDS – 30th Anniversary of Penny Century Australian Tour
THE CLOUDS were one of the brightest shining lights of the early 90s golden era of Australian Indie Music releasing some fine indie nuggets… at times dream pop, sometimes shoe gaze-y, every now and then guitar crunch, but always with a pop sensibility.

FM – THIRTEEN
Released March 18th 2022
Frontiers Records
It is always a joy to get to hear a new FM album…….from the very first listen to that first FM record Indiscreet in 1986, having been a fan of Wildlife before then, and seeing them as the ultimate AOR support band over the next couple of years, including the epic Astoria show in 1987 with White Sister as the opening act.

THE KARMA EFFECT
Released – 18th March 2022
TMR Rock Records
Debut albums are always really interesting to review, and while this one only has 8 songs on it, it delivers a solid punch. Closer to home for me is that the band are from my home town of Oxted in the UK, and are launching the album at one of my early watering holes – where us cocky 16 year olds could always get served!

NAKED GYPSY QUEENS – Georgiana EP
Released – Feb 11th
MASCOT LABEL GROUP
I heard the first release from this EP a few months ago and started raving about the band then – loving the vintage classic rock sound, heavily amplified blues, rock solid drums and a twin-guitar assault steeped in the likes of MC5, Free, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company – all brought up to date with some supercharged hooks that combines that true classic rock sound with a modern southern-rock swagger!

Where the Devil welcomes New Bassist
Where the Devil would like to officially welcome its newest member to the family, Hamish Unahi. Normally known as a monster on the six- and seven-string in both Take My Soul and Faith in Lies, Hamish will be picking up a bass in his new position.
“I used to play bass back in the day for a punk band and a progressive rock band,” Hamish says. “It’s been a while, but I’ve been locked in my studio for a couple of weeks getting the low-end skills sharp again.”

I have been fortunate enough to get access to a whole host of albums in the past 18 months from the vibrant and booming rock scene in the UK in particular – whether NWOCR or otherwise, and as we roll into 2022, one of the first of the New Year releases has hit my in-box thanks to PK at TMR PR and Media.

I will never apologise for any inherent bias in a review, but I am happy to admit that Steve Overland has been able to do no wrong in my eyes, from the early days of Wildlife in 1980, through to FM who have been one my all-time favourite bands to the present day, and are still recording and playing live.
