  1. Wait for it... 2 or 3 people on this board coming to debunk this as fake news. And blaming Proud Boys. And Trump.
  2. New video for 'Coming Home' feat. Deen Castronovo.
  3. I don't think this is an official video for 'Loaded' but it's very well made. What a great song. Now that the boys have a deal with AFM Records, they will release their new single 'Outrun' in September.
  4. New lyric video for 'Hands Of Salvation'.
  5. From MelodicRock Classics: MelodicRock Classics is pleased to announce a partnership with English singer, songwriter, composer and musician Andy Qunta to deliver a Deluxe Edition of his one and only solo album ‘Legend In A Loungeroom’, originally recorded in 1989. Andy has one of the most interesting and complex bio’s of any artist. Andy Qunta (pronounced Coonta) is a citizen of the world and an artist with a long list of credits going back to the early 70s. His first band was Factory, then joining the Hazel O'Connor band. He met Manfred Mann vocalist Chris Thompson in New Zealand in 1982, which lead to a writing partnership that continues today. That same year Andy become the keyboard player for Australian melodic rock legends Icehouse, helping to propel them through their most popular and critically acclaimed phase, as well as writing the hit ‘Crazy’ from the ‘Man Of Colours’ album, before departing in 1988. Andy with Chris Thompson, along with singer Maggie Ryder (Eurythmics) and lyricist Keith Reid (Procul Harum/Whiter Shade of Pale) wrote the now iconic song ‘You’re the Voice’, originally made into a mega-hit by John Farnham, but also covered by Heart, Chris Thompson, David Foster and countless others. Andy’s other songs have also been recorded by mega-artists including John Waite (Take Me Home), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (Tribal Statistics) and John Farnham (Don't Tell Me It Can't Be Done). In 1989, Andy headed to Los Angeles to record a solo album, titled ‘Legend In A Loungeroom’. The album featuring a lineup including Tony Qunta, Jeff Skunk Baxter (Doobie Bros, Steely Dan), Guy Pratt (Icehouse, Pink Floyd), Scott Page (Pink Floyd, Supertramp), Steve Milbacher, Paulinho da Costa (Madonna, Sting), Tim Pierce (Meatloaf, Crowded House), & Denny Fongheiser (Tracy Chapman, Heart). A video for first single, ‘Thing About You’ was shot in Sydney and Melbourne. The song started getting heavy airplay in Australia before legal wrangles with Executive Producers cause project to be shelved. The album was dead in the water before being released in Europe on German label, without the artist’s knowledge. Andy would later do an independent self-release of the album with altered artwork, which MelodicRock Classics was a big fan of. Being an even bigger fan of Andy’s co-writes with John Farnham, the idea of a Deluxe Edition re-issue was floated, with the label pitching the idea of using some songwriter demos as bonus tracks. What wasn’t expected was the number of the demos uncovered by Andy, which lead to this ‘special event’ double CD coming to fruition, with some mega-star performances featured. So the project quickly expanded to a double disc – with the original album given a refresh remaster by JK Northrup and preserved on Disc One, with the Bonus Demos gathered on Disc Two, featuring the vocals of Andy, Chris Thompson, Maggie Ryder and others, plus guest musicians such as Brett Garsed (Nelson, John Farnham), Steve Hogarth (Marillion), Guy Pratt (Icehouse, Pink Floyd, Madonna) and more. Graphic Artist Nello Dell’Omo has been commissioned to create a brand new cover art package for this release, which will be revealed closer to the release date. The full track listing for ‘Legend In A Loungeroom’ and ‘The Songwriter Demos’ is as follows: Disc One – ‘Legend In A Loungeroom’ (2021 Remaster) 01. Take Me Home 02. Come Back Baby 03.

  6. From MelodicRock Classics: MelodicRock Classics is proud to announce the label’s first collaboration with a classic Australian artist. Aussie melodic rock artist singer / songwriter / guitarist Mark Edwards joins the label to compile all his solo recordings into one place for the very first time, with numerous tracks making their debut on CD. Mark Edwards made his debut in 1983 in the band Runners, with a line-up that also featured fellow singer/songwriter/guitarist Paul Norton. After the band disbanded with just the one album to their name, Mark signed with WEA Records to release his acclaimed solo album ‘Land Of The Living’ in 1986. It would turn out to be his only record, but still delivered one of that summer’s breakout hits ‘World’s Away’. Subsequent singles ‘Land Of The Living’ and ‘Only A Love’ were released with non-album b-sides; followed by a stand alone single ‘High Times’ the following year. There were also a few Extended Versions available on the 12” Singles released, none of which ever made it to a CD release. In fact, some of the audio was so scarce, vinyl rips came from MRC owner Andrew McNeice’s own collection The album itself was subject to a very limited CD run in the late 80s, pressed before the use of barcodes and long since designated a true Australian rarity. As was commonplace with many other titles released on CD in the early days, the sound suffered a lack of bottom end. Now, thanks to the partnership between MelodicRock Classics and Mark Edwards, his complete solo recordings are being compiled into a fantastic double disc set, featuring the original album and all the singles and b-sides, all fully remastered by JK Northrup for this special limited edition release. Featuring on the various recordings are some familiar names in the Oz rock scene – vocalists Sharon O’Neill and Vanetta Fields; James Morrison on trumpet; and multi-instrumentalist and co-producer Michael Hegerty. Not to mention, acclaimed session men Ricki Fataar and Rick Chadwick. ‘Land Of The Living – 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition’ will be released via MelodicRock Classics October 8 with pre-sales available this week, alongside the label’s other October 8 release TBA. The full track listing is: Disc 1: The Album 01. Land Of The Living 3.51 02. World's Away 4:12 03. So Listen 5:45 04. Something New 4:00 05. Candy Baby 4:03 06. Wedding Ring 3:53 07.

  7. Don't be so sure. The woke people will find a way to take down the statue...
  8. True. And this was going to happen anyway, deal or not, if the troops were about to leave Afghanistan. Just saying.
  9. I guess this is fake news as well. Everything's just fine and dandy in San Francisco. Mayor? London Breed. What's up with these Democrat women of colour (like Lightfoot) ruining their cities? This is what you get when you elect people because of their skin colour, not their talent.
  10. New video for 'Standing On The Edge Of A Broken Dream'. Me likey. From Frontiers: Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the sophomore album from Groundbreaker, "Soul To Soul" on November 12, 2021. Groundbreaker's new album, "Soul To Soul" is once again centered around the fantastic vocal talents of Steve Overland (FM) with stunning production by Alessandro Del Vecchio. While the self-titled debut was a collaboration with Robert Sall (Work of Art, W.E.T), on the songwriting side, joining Steve and Alessandro this time are Stefano Lionetti (Lionville), Pete Alpenborg (Arctic Rain), Jan Akesson (Infinite & Divine), and Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal). The resulting album is simply everything that a melodic rock fan could hope and dream for. Expect nothing less than soaring hooklines, magnificent melodies, and amazing instrumental performances. Mixing the best of the European melodic rock traditions, "Soul To Soul" is easily one of the melodic rock highlights of the year. The lineup on the new album includes Sven Larsson (ex-Street Talk) on guitars, Nalley Pahlsson (ex- Vindictiv, Therion) on bass, Herman Furin (Work of Art) on drums, and Alessandro Del Vecchio on keyboards. Steve Overland plays lead guitar on the track “Wild World” too. Groundbreaker started with a conversation between Frontiers President Serafino Perugino and Overland. Perugino was eager to start a top notch collaboration with well-respected musicians from the European melodic rock scene and highlight Overland's absolutely stunning vocal talents. Robert Sall of Work of Art was brought into the picture to craft the songs and to be paired with Alessandro Del Vecchio’s production. Overland immediately loved the material that was submitted to him and consequently, they started to work on finishing the songs. The band's debut album was greeted warmly by the melodic rock community and now, those same fans can prepare themselves for another delightful entry into the melodic rock realm. Tracklist: 1. Standing On The Edge Of A Broken Dream 2. Soul To Soul 3. Captain Of Our Love 4. Evermore 5. Wild World 6. Carrie 7. Fighting For Love 8. It Don't Get Better Than This 9. There's No Tomorrow 10.

Leap Of Faith LINE-UP: Steve Overland vocals, lead guitar on Wild World Sven Larsson guitars Nalle Pahlsson bass Herman Furin drums Alessandro Del Vecchio keyboards www.facebook.com/Groundbreakerband
  11. I've never said Fox is the truth but those who imply that they're fake news but the other channels aren't, don't think for themselves. Another word for those are sheeps. From day one when Trump took office, the bias media and democrats did everything to twist the truth and in plenty cases lied to fit their own agenda. BTW, didn't you say a couple of days ago you don't follow the news outlets from America? So yeah, big time expert.
  12. Everybody could see this coming, the clown network CNN trying to change the narrative. Like President Trump said, fake news.
  13. Speaking of Afghanistan, more incompetence.
  14. New song 'I'm With You' (Avril Lavigne cover).
