UPDATE FROM RETROSPECT RECORDS


Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Just a quick update. Picking up 12 new releases from the plant today! Keep your eyes on the website.

 

Rocklahoma last week was our most successful one yet. Although they ditched the majority of 80s bands in favor of modern bands , the Rok veterans enjoyed our bands and everyone had a blast. I still think younger people are closed-minded about the "classic" sound but that's just my opinion.

 

Next week we're off to the coveted M3 festival in Maryland to support our band MASS and sell our wares to the 80s fanatics!

 

We are confirmed for the biggest 80s festival of the year! Rock n America fest in Oklahoma City in the third week of July. Have you seen the line-up? 3 days of hair metal mania! We'll be bringing in Wildstreet , The Glitter Boys and Firstryke as well as hosting a vendor spot.

 

Speaking of Wildstreet , here's a promo video for their new song "Cocked n Ready"

Staying busy , will keep you updated when all this madness calms down.

oh and i forgot to mention the band with the strangest name on our roster:

KABLAMACHUNK

 

New York based band from the late 80's / early 90's. With some unreleased tracks produced by Albert Bouchard. Coincidentally, the drummer from this band went on to work with Albert's BRAIN SURGEONS project.

 

ROCK ON!

    • I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.  
    • Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.
    • I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here  
    • Babymetal - Metal resistance Babymetal - The other one
    • Enjoyed their last cd "Human Nature" remind me of a mellower Black Stone Cherry, similar to Little Caesar.
    • BlackRain - Hot Rock Time Machine Lee Aaron - Bodyrock
    • Now theres a blast from the past  I'm lucky enough to possess 
    • Another i'm still awaiting the arrival of...same day release/delivery my arse Amazon  Still this is sounding like their best release thus far...they are gaining and getting better...although I did enjoy the last few albums also...but the sound/production from this one is excellent.
    • Still awaiting mine to arrive...should've been on Weds  or according to my order that was the case anyway
