From Eonian Records: TAINTED SAINTS is a killer-sounding band that shoots straight from the hip! Their first official release through Eonian Records was produced by Jim Ebert (Jason Falkner, Marvelous 3, and Butch Walker) Beautifully arranged, the album is brimming with classic rockers like “Temptation,” “Voodoo Girl,” or Wicked Little Smile,” as well as the slower, more introspective “Unspoken.” In a nutshell, you’ll find the manic energy of Mother Love Bone, the glam rock flavor of Hanoi Rocks, and an anthemic echo of Rolling Stones. It is exuberant, exciting, and effortlessly cool. TAINTED SAINTS stands as a testament to the power of amplification and deserves a place in every self-respecting rocker’s home. Emphatically, TAINTED SAINTS are genuinely Rock ‘N’ Roll!

From Eonian Records: If “Out Of My Hands,” the opening track of MISERY’s third album of the same name, tells us anything about the Pasadena, Texas-based band, it's that they are about to unleash an absolute monster, a behemoth of a release that highlights just what a talented set of musicians they truly are. From that song forward, it continues to gain momentum while Joe Villarreal flattens anything in his path; Greg Gilley funnels angry verses into a goosebump-inducing chorus, while drummer Kevin Coffey churns out filthy grooves. “Out Of My Hands” is jam-packed with everything MISERY gave us with “Misery Loves Company” and “Risk It All” … explosive riffs, fierce vocals, harmonies, and thumping rockers, but, if possible, the band had propulsive power to spare in album number three. A Must-Have!

STEELHEART Records is really happy and proud to announce the release of the forthcoming third studio-album from Italian singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist STEVE EMM. The album is called “Framework” and it contains 9 incredible songs fully inspired by the glorious ’80s movies’ soundtracks for a result that will bring you back in time when everyone was dreaming to have the “eyes of the tiger”, to dance with “footloose” and to have a friend like “Rocky”! Following his two studio-album (“First Strike” in 2021 and “Dangerous Goods” in 2023, both actually sold-out), the new release will give all the Melodic Rock fans a new jewel to enjoy and a new masterpiece to play over and over! Here’s the retro-sound of the ‘80s re-worked and re-imagined by one of the best songwriters and musicians around. A proper release date will be announced very soon. The first single called “Class of ’84” will be released on December 21st, as a special Christmas gift to all Melodic Rock lovers from Steve and Primo/Steelheart Records.

Initially known as Lodger, the trio found their voice with vocalist Peter Schapiro, setting the stage for a raw, rock journey echoing the influences of Aerosmith, AC/DC and the Rolling Stones. Renamed Reptile Smile with the inclusion of bassist Jake St. Snake and guitarist Jan Lissnils, the band soared after signing with CBS Records in 1989. Their debut single, "Shove ‘em Down," and the album "Automatic Cool" catapulted them into the European spotlight, solidified by the MTV rotation of "2000 Miles." The release of "Who Makes the Rules" in 1991 further entrenched their presence, fueled by the single "Wild life." Chapter Two, spanning 1993-1995, witnessed a revamped lineup, relentless touring, and eventual disbandment due to strain. Despite this, the allure of their music persisted, leading to sporadic reunions and a studio endeavor in 1994, yielding an unreleased third album. Chapter Three, from 1995 to the present, encapsulates the band's intermittent reunions, culminating in a transformative decision by Martin in 2010. This prompted the re-recording of earlier tracks with Michel Maiden returning on drums, Andreas on bass, and Fredrik Björk on guitar, delivering a rejuvenated sound. Now, in 2023, the long-awaited "Mark III" album emerges, combining reimagined classics with unreleased tracks. Set for release in November 2024 by Lions Pride Music, this compilation pays homage to Reptile Smile's enduring legacy. The album showcases the band's evolution, blending old and new elements, while Peter's commanding vocals tie the collection together. "Mark III" is a resurrection, a testament to the timeless vigor of Reptile Smile's music, promising an explosive sonic experience for fans, old and new alike
