from the interwebz:

Australian sleazy hard rockers SNAKE BITE WHISKY are releasing their debut full-length studio album "This Side Of Hell", and while recorded in Down Under, it sounds like taped back in 1987 in a L.A.

Snake Bite Whisky was formed in December 2014 and after 2 EP's has quickly established themselves as Australia's number one sleazy band rapidly gaining a large following in the international glam/sleazy scene.

Likened to early Guns N' Roses with a healthy dose of Motley Crue and Motörhead's heaviness, the Snakes are determined to bring the style and attitude of the '80s Sunset Strip scene, kicking and screaming into the present, bringing something fresh to the global hair metal revival.

Snake Bite Whisky already supported major acts and toured Europe & the US, and played at the Cruefest at the Whisky a Go-Go in Hollywood. Indeed, they belong there...

"This Side Of Hell" is pure '80s sleazy with 'y', meaning the American sound of the genre.

While influences abound, these guys have their own, no compromise style. This is full throttled yet melodic in yer face sleazy soaked rock n' roll.

There's plenty of guitar attack on 'Damnation Alley' and the anthemic 'Ain't Dead Yet' (early Skid Row on steroids), a mammoth groove in 'Spin', and a dirty punch on the nasty 'B.A.M.'

More melodic with swirling solos ala Faster Pussycat is 'Last Man Standing', while 'Another Day' brings some calm (not a ballad though).

Mid-paced, 'New Revolution' has some LA Guns in the riffage, then the album end with the proper full sleazy feat of 'She Likes Machines', where I found a little of Alice Cooper in the approach.

'Uncompromised' is the best word to define Snake Bite Whisky's full-length debut album "This Side Of Hell"; this is pure Americanized sleazy hard rock, from style to attitude.

These Aussie guys don't care trends or 'commercial potential'; they play the music they want and they do it darn well. So if you miss this type of rock n' roll unpolluted by record label executives, grab "This Side Of Hell" now.

They from Brisbane, Queensland for Aussies members. Big call, calling Australia's number one sleazy band, when they haven't played down here Melbourne yet.

The albums's great. They also have 2 previously released EP's that are pretty good although not as good production wise as the album, which I guess is to be expected. Thanks for the post mate. It takes someone from the other side of the world to put me on to an Aussie band. That's why I love thjs site!

I wonder if this means a return to the project's original synthwave style?

    • New song 'Siren Song'. From Frontiers: Seventh Crystal, who stormed on the melodic rock scene in 2021 since their stunning debut album "Delirium", have announced the release of their third full-length, "Entity". Seventh Crystal took everything up a major level (or two, really), "Entity" sees the bands exploring and expanding different genres, bringing their melodic rock formula, to progressive rock fields, sometimes little heavier and back to their unique rock style. Seventh Crystal is a melodic hard rock band from Gothenburg formed by Kristian Fyhr in 2019. What started as a solo project by Kristian quickly grew into a larger endeavor when Johan Älvsång and Olof Gadd joined the project. Shortly after, Anton Roos and Emil Dornerus also joined the band, completing the initial lineup. In 2020 the band signed a deal with Frontiers Records and released their debut album "Delirium" in 2021, which made waves all around the world. Due to the guitar-heavy parts on the album, the band realized they needed one more guitarist to be able to perform the songs live. Gustav Linde, an old friend of Anton Roos, took on the job, and the band began to work on their slightly more guitar-oriented follow-up album "Wonderland." The album "Wonderland" was released in 2023 alongside the EP "Infinity," establishing the band as an act to be reckoned with. During the fall, Johan Älvsång decided to step aside, and the band continued as a five-piece into the recordings of a third album. Drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, from soft rock to hard-hitting heavy metal, Seventh Crystal showcases a diverse range of musical expression. The band aims to be authentic and serve as an inspiration, outlet, and escape for their audience. Their sound is characterized by bombastic productions, catchy hooks, and dramatic and emotional melodies. TRACKLIST: 1. Oathbreaker 2. Thirteen to One 3. 404 4. Path of the Absurd 5. Architects of Light 6. Interlude 7. Blinded by the Light 8. Siren Song 9. Versus 10. Mayflower 11. Push Comes to Shove 12. A Place Called Home 13. Song Of The Brave    
    • The latest band featured is "Y&T". This is a good one, as always with channel.  On a side note, I'm just thinking that there aren’t too many bands that have a Lead Singer that is also the Lead Guitarist.     
    • Featuring Ben Christo, Joe Elliot and Billy Duffy
