  1. Under Fire - Under Fire (2CD Expanded Edition) Warp Drive - Gimme Gimme
  2. From Escape Music: Escape Music pleased to announce the release date for RADAR - Lost In The Atlantic. The CD will be limited edition to 1000 copies only! All will be numbered 1-1000 and will include a post card hand signed by the band! First time On CD!!! Radar was formed in 1981 when David West, Rod Jordan & Gary Stevenson met at the ABC Music Store in Surrey England, where David & Gary were working as guitar & keyboard demonstrators. They set up an 8 track-recording studio ‘Secret Studios’ in West London where they composed their first recordings. In 1983 Radar was signed to Warner Bros Publishing UK and their journey began. During this time guitar player Gary Stevenson also produced ‘outside’ bands at Secret studios, one of them being an unknown duo called ‘Go West’. Gary also used David West on this project and after a few demos the Manager of the band ‘John Glover’ was impressed enough with the work that he commissioned Gary to produce 2 tracks ‘We Close Our Eyes’ & ‘Call Me’ at Chipping Norton Studios in Oxfordshire. These songs & productions caused a stir in the music business at the time and Go West had many record deal offers from major record companies. The band wanted to stay with Gary as producer so signed with Chrysalis Records who were happy to do this, and the rest is history. Go West went on to become the ‘Best Newcomers’ at the 1985 Brit Awards. Radar began recording their album at the famous ‘Trident Studios’ on Wardour Street, London early 1985. In late December 1985 Radar left these shores to reside in the Isle Of Man at ‘The Old Schoolhouse’ in Port Erin, which they converted into a residential recording studio and continued to finish the album. In fact most of the initial London recordings were scrapped and the album was re-started from scratch. Gary continued producing while using David West as his right hand man while Rod Jordan worked on writing for the album and made a few guest appearances on some of Gary’s productions. The band was happy to hold back the release of the Radar album and use the success of Gary’s production works with various bands to promote an upcoming release. In retrospect this had a negative effect on Radar, the momentum was lost and the Radar album was never released. Release Date: 19 February 2021 Track Listing: 1. A Trick Of The Light 4:29 2. Goodbye Mr. President 4:34 3. Laena 3:14 4. Going Overboard 4:06 5. Love Wars 3:47 6. The Calling Time 2:49 7. Lost In The City 3:56 8. Someone’s Crying 6:00 9. Look But Don't Touch 4:48 10.

  3. No. Because we all know the outcome, no discussion needed. In this case, a landslide victory for Trump. And you know it
  4. Yep. The same singer: Jarno 'Jape' Perätalo.
  5. INXS were great with Michael. Great band when he was around.
  6. I don't know what happened with Mark but Gun are underrated. Great band.
  7. Cody, did you know they changed their name to 'To/Die/For' back in 1999? They released 7 albums spanning the years 1999-2015. www.discogs.com/artist/239041-ToDieFor
  8. Pretty much agree on everything said so far. Often when a new group comes along somewhere down the line people usually think the first or/and second releases are the best. Winger is the exception, the third one destroys the previous efforts. I'm not saying the previous are bad but 'Pull' is a class of its own. It hasn't been topped since and it would take something special to throw 'Pull' from the top spot.
  9. New video for 'Broken Highway'.
  10. Hey now, I'm really digging the new tune. Excellent.
  11. You mean these? Sublime songs.
  12. New video for Waterside'. I like it. From Frontiers: British singer and songwriter Gary Hughes has announced that his new solo album "Waterside" will be released on March 12, 2021 via Frontiers Music Srl. Additionally, Hughes has also announced the release of a double album best of collection, "Decades", that encompasses three decades of his solo work in a newly Remastered format. This double album offers some of the best Hughes' songs taken from his releases, “Precious Ones”, “Veritas”, "Once and Future King Parts I and II” and his self-titled release "Gary Hughes". It also includes some rare tracks which were originally only released in Japan on the “In Your Eyes” EP. "Decades" is an album full of his influences and experiences and opens the door to the past while looking to his future at the same time. "It is great to step back into solo mode again for a short while. The songs on my new 'Waterside' album are filled with light and shade. Very much lighter than my heavier and deeper Ten material. We live in such testing times and I have tried to create a piece of Melodic AOR that might lift the spirits and allow for a little much needed escapism. There is definitely a positive feel good factor to this collection of songs and I truly hope the fans enjoy listening to it," enthuses Hughes The aforementioned feel good factor is never so prevalent as in the song and video for the title track 'Waterside'. Hughes explains, "The Waterside video is a very straight forward jacket, jeans and Fender Telecaster affair. A slice of Anglo-Americana. A nod back to the mid '80s and the golden age of laid back melodic rock. We enjoyed making this one immensely!" Over the course of three decades in music, Gary Hughes has established himself as one of England's premiere Melodic Rock/Hard Rock singers and songwriters. With fourteen TEN studio albums, one rock opera (in two parts), and much more, the body of work that he has amassed during his career is truly impressive. Gary's work with his band TEN offers a hard rock sound which is rooted in the tradition of bands such as UFO, WHITESNAKE, and RAINBOW. Historically, his solo material has offered a more melodic sound which has strong roots in the late 80’s AOR and Melodic Rock scene. The new solo album,“Waterside,” marks his long awaited return to Melodic Rock. This is also his first new solo album since his“Veritas" release well over a decade ago. Musically, this is what you would expect from Gary as a follow up to his self-titled solo record and “Precious Ones,” but also it includes hints of early Ten (the more melodic moments of “X” and “The Name of the Rose,” as a reference point). Assisting Gary in the creation of this new solo album are his Ten bandmates Dann Rosingana (guitars) and Darrel Treece-Birch (drums), with David Rosingana appearing on bass and Karen Fell and Scott Hughes helping on background vocals. If you like British Melodic Rock, then look no further, “Waterside” is an awesome example of how truly stunning the style can be! Line-up: Gary Hughes – Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Guitars Dann Rosingana – Lead Guitar David Rosingana – Bass Guitar Darrel Treece-Birch – Keyboards and Drums Karen Fell – Backing Vocals Scott Hughes – Lead and Backing Vocals
