The self-titled debut release of New Yorkers WILDSTREET in 2009 received rave reviews around the globe.

Their glorious Def Leppard inspired affair with a hint of sleaze/glam, was one of the great surprises that year.

Now in 2011 WILDSTREET have just released their sophomore effort, a 5-track EP, “Wildstreet II …Faster…Louder”.

Wildstreet sound has changed slightly, and moulding themselves into a unit that best resembles Kix, Motley Crue and Def Leppard circa 'High And Dry'. The attitude and the energy is certainly here, and across the five tracks they let it all hang out.

Starting things off is "Shake It" that cranks things up from the get-go. If you like the riffing from bands like Kix or Sweden's hard rock heroes Bullet you'll love this. Big gang chant vocals on the chorus provide maximum impact.

"Poison Kiss" touches the sleaze genre in a slight way, with the slide guitar pushing this song into early 90's territory. Once again the harmonies show some whoop-ass chops. A very commercial, catchy tune.

Ramping the tempo up a few notches, "Hot Lixx" is less about hot women but more about the trials and tribulations of a kid getting his first guitar and learning how to play. To keep the rhyming scenario going, this song could be a Kix offcut!

I feel an early Van Halen / Def Leppard meets AC/DC style with "Cocked And Ready". The riff is one straight out of the Angus Young cookbook, though Erik Jayk's vocals sounds more like '70s era Aerosmith.

"Can't Stop The Rock" is probably the closest in feel to the debut album material, the production is a bit more spacious, the arrangement close to 'High N Dry' period Def Leppard. This track is made for the arenas.

This EP is another winner for WILDSTREET.

"Faster…Louder..." is a perfect party 'have a good time' collection of songs.

Their mix of straight ahead non compromising fun hard rock and singalong choruses makes this EP so easy to love.

Hopefully we'll see a full-blown CD release sometime soon.

GOTTHARD - "WE WANT TO CARRY ON!"

2011-02-01 08:00 - After the tragic accident of their friend and singer Steve Lee, who died in the United States on

5th of October 2010, the musicians of the Swiss rock band Gotthard withdrew from the public

towards the end of the year in order to take a break. Now they are back with plans for the future

and to tackle a difficult task.

Quote from Leo Leoni: „... after the very emotional days following Steve‘s death, it was important

for all of us to come to terms with the pain, let the incident sink in and find ourselves again.

So we got together at the beginning of the year and started considering the new situation ... it

was clear to all of us quite quickly, that it has to go on - GOTTHARD is not a job - GOTTHARD IS

OUR LIFE „!

Quote from Hena Habegger: „... of course we can only continue if we are lucky enough to find

the right man. For us, it is not just a voice that can bring our songs back to life... more precisely

we are looking for a singer whose personality also matches ours - the Gotthard Family!

Sunday looks cool for the most part but the rest..... ho-hum.

Kicks Ass!!

Follow this link to their only original song so far called "Battlefields", a tribute to the troops:

RHINO BUCKET To Release 'Who's Got Mine?' In February - Dec. 14, 2010

Fresh off the success of their first European tour in 20 years, RHINO BUCKET immediately returned to the studio with ace producer Doug Boehm (DIRTY SWEET, THE VINES) at the helm. The hard-rockin' result is "Who's Got Mine?", the band's sixth studio album and third on Acetate Records. Recorded at legendary Hollywood rock-shack Grandmaster Recorders, the disc — which is scheduled for release on February 8, 2011 — features original members Georg Dolivo and Reeve Downes, accompanied by Brian "Damage" Forsythe (KIX) and touring drummer Anthony "Tiny" Biuso (TSOL, THE DICKIES).

A full-scale European tour starts January 6, with U.S. dates to follow.

MVD Visual and Acetate Records released RHINO BUCKET's latest album, "The Hardest Town", in May 2009. The CD was produced by Stefan Sigerson, who previously worked with RHINO BUCKET on its 2006 album, "And Then It Got Ugly".

RHINO BUCKET placed a track in the Darren Aronofsky hit feature "The Wrestler", which opened in theaters in December 2007. The movie stars Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei, and it features BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's original song "The Wrestler", written exclusively for the film.

Has anybody checked this out yet? I am right now and I'm very impressed.

I like this.

I don't think we will ever see Lillian Axe put out another "Poetic Justice" type disc. Steve Blaze just doesn't want to do that anymore IMO.
