For eight years during the Vietnam War, the Razorback gunship platoon had only one mission… combat.

French Power Metal exponents Galderia return with "Return Of The Cosmic Men", quite possibly one of the most catchy and melodic albums you will hear all year. "Return Of The Cosmic Men" is a complete triumph, an album that is ram packed with some of the most melodic and uplifting metal you will ever hear. If you’re a fan of Helloween, Brother Firetribe, Freedom Call etc. you will absolutely lap this one up. Superbly crafted songs abound as you move through this album, ’Living Forevermore’ for example has one of those chorus lines that will embed itself in your psyche and have you singing it for weeks on end.

Many white working-class men are struggling in today’s society - low education, poor jobs, high crime. Filmmaker Dan Murdoch spends a year on the fringes of Manchester in some of Britain's most deprived estates. He finds anger, resentment and frustration. But he also finds a spirit of camaraderie among the estates that are fighting to stay above water - fighting not to be forgotten.

This 2xCD set collects the entire studio-recorded output of the U-Men, remastered, plus 5 unreleased songs, with 16 pages of photos, liner notes, and interviews with the band. Executive produced by Jack Endino. The U-Men are one of the best bands I've ever seen. They were hypnotic, frenetic, powerful and compelling. It was impossible to resist getting sucked into their weird, darkly absurd world. They effortlessly blended The Sonics, Link Wray, Pere Ubu, and Captain Beefheart. Their shows were loose-limbed, drunken dance parties and no two shows were alike. The U-Men were avant-garage explorers and, most importantly, they fucking rocked. I was lucky enough to live in their hometown and I saw them every chance I could. From 1983 to 1987, the U-Men were the undisputed kings of the Seattle Underground. No one else came close. They ruled a bleak backwater landscape populated by maybe 200 people.

Due for release November 24th 2017, Kate Rusby brings a festive flourish with a sparkling new Christmas album. Angels and Men is the first of her Christmas albums to be produced by husband Damien O'Kane and his sumptuous 'other worldly' soundscapes, adding warmth and depth throughout.
