Wicked Sensation Outbreak

A six-song EP released while fans waited (and waited) for the Gigolo Aunts to follow up Flippin' Out, Learn to Play Guitar features some of the band's finest work. The unforgettable lead track, "Kinda Girl," is guitar-driven power-pop at its best, featuring clever lyrics and infectious hooks, while "Wishing You the Worst" is a resentful and melancholy ballad reminiscent of Grand Prix-era Teenage Fanclub.

John Lee Hooker's 1948-1952 recordings made in Detroit, Michigan by Bernard Besman. Includes 19 previously unissued versions.

With new guitarist Brian McPhee making his recording debut with the band, it was only natural that Unveiling the Wicked (featuring one of the worst record sleeves ever) would see Exciter tweaking their sound somewhat. What couldn't be expected was just how much their more melodic new direction would turn away their fans…

"Rick Carroll is one Loud, heavy, aggressive 90's blues guitarist. This strat-slinging, power-player has his own version of the Blues. With elements of street funk, 40's big band swing, boogie and the new tonality and out of control creative adventure of today's rock, this is a new strain of Blues that's wilder, more visceral and definitely something that's going to make some real noise. Backed by the powerful and eclectic Wicked Blue, Rick Carroll stands poised to introduce a new audience to a new music with a grand old tradition. It's a new Blues for music lovers seeking a new Blues alternative.

Though former Runaways guitarist Lita Ford has been absent from the recording industry since 1997, she hasn't exactly been idle. After releasing Kiss Me Deadly, her final album after a string of them in the '80s and '90s, the music scene – and the industry with it – changed, and alternative ruled the airwaves. Ford got married to Jim Gillette, former vocalist with hair metal rockers Nitro, and started a family. In addition, she relocated to the Caribbean. Wicked Wonderland is uncharacteristic of the pop-metal she released a decade ago. It's an in-your-face metal record, but ultimately it's a very studied and calculated 21st century pop-metal record.

UK hard rock stalwarts TEN used the downtime during the worldwide pandemic to work on not one, but two new albums. The first album to be released, "Here Be Monsters", landed on February 18, 2022 via Frontiers Music Srl. And now, the label is pleased to announce the second album of the two, "Something Wicked This Way Comes" on January 20, 2023. Following the success of the recent string of albums, from “Albion” to “Illuminati”, Hughes was joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana, Steve Grocott and John Halliwell along with bass player Steve McKenna, keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch and drummer Markus Kullman (Sinner, Glenn Hughes, Voodoo Circle) for the recording of "Something Wicked This Way Comes". TEN continue to raise the musical bar higher for themselves, a goal they push on every release.
