I read they pushed it back to October

Exciting news! I'd seen some posts on their FB page last month or two that they had written a lot of new songs and were working on the next album, but didn't expect to hear anything that fast.

Jake still sounds as good as ever. This new song has more of a bluesy feel and not sure that suits Darren's vocal style. Talented band and I liked most of the debut, but initially this one is just ok for me.

Solid tune

Pretty good song, Danny has been one of my favorite singers since hearing him on Waysted's album "Save Your Prayers"

Agreed, sounds similar to early Ratt musically. His solo stuff has been hit or miss for me and I'd put this first track in the hit category.

Great tune, welcome back Steve

I recall reading somewhere that Tesla was planning to release a new album later this year, it was to be called "Shock" and they were working with Phil Collen of Def Leppard who was going to produce it. I haven't heard any updates on it recently though.

sounds pretty good, I was expecting the new album to be updated recordings of older tracks, but this seems like a new song, unless I am mistaken

Dream Police - "Rock Me" off their debut and Stage Dolls - "Love Cries" from their self titled release

A little more on the pop rock side, but a pretty cool track. I hear some Queen influence during parts of the song

Track listing and release date (October 19) were made available for Ace's upcoming album "Spaceman". Gene Simmons performs on and co-wrote a track or two. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ace-frehley-spaceman-album-details-revealed-rockin-with-the-boys-single-available/ Without You I'm Nothing Rockin' With the Boys Your Wish Is My Command Bronx Boy Pursuit Of Rock and Roll I Wanna Go Back (Cover: Eddie Money) Mission To Mars Off My Back Quantum Flux

Looks like a great lineup. Some interesting names on the bill. Glad to see that Sven Gali and Shark Island are performing live again, although I think only Richard Black remains from the original Shark Island lineup.

It's my favorite album of theirs with Howe on vocals. Somewhat hard to find on cd and I don't think I've ever come across a copy on vinyl. I'm sure it would come with a hefty price tag though

I've never heard Headstone Epitaph before, solid tune, thanks for sharing

Both tracks sound pretty good. It seems like quite the undertaking to go through everything. Nevertheless was a really good album, especially in the context of when it was released. I look forward to having the chance to hear more of his unreleased work, especially from those early years.

The chorus is solid, but initially I don't care much for the main guitar riff

I could list tons of songs but I'll start with these two: Armored Saint "Reign of Fire" and Metal Church "Gods of Second Chance"

+1

I thought the Nitrate album was pretty good as well. I would also agree that it hasn't received too many comments/reviews, here or elsewhere, which is a shame as it is worth checking out, especially for those who liked Midnite City.

I know the original was a big hit, but this cover version doesn't do much for me and it is one of three tracks that I skip when listening to the album

Haha, the bumblebee outfit! When I read your post earlier, the only song by Blind Melon that I could even think of was the one with the girl with the glasses wearing that costume.

pretty good tune

Blind Melon? Surprising comparison, I'm not hearing much grunge influence. Blind Melon and Slash do have a bit of a connection though, their singer provided backup vocals on Use Your Illusion and was in the video for "Don't Cry"
