NI ROCKS Recommends "Bigfoot" by BIGFOOT

Published: Friday, 20 October 2017 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 4714

English band Bigfoot released their debut, self-titled album through Frontiers Music on 13th October. I first heard of the band from Wigan in early 2015 when I received their debut EP, also called “Bigfoot”. I posted a recommendation for that EP and played some of the tracks on the NI Rocks Shows. Frontiers obviously liked what they heard as well as they signed the band up for this release. I’ve featured the track “The Fear” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st July and “Tell Me A Lie” on 8th Septenber. “Karma” is included on the Show this week.

NI ROCKS Interview with PHIL LEWIS from L.A. GUNS

Published: Wednesday, 18 October 2017 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 7613

Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis announced late last year that they had re-united and would be releasing a new L.A. Guns album. They played in Belfast earlier this year as part of a tour of the UK and Ireland (a  gig I missed unfortunately as I was unwell at the time) and on 13th October released the album “The Missing Peace” through Frontiers Music. L.A Guns return to the UK as part of a European tour in November.

I arranged to speak to singer Phil Lewis by phone on 17th October just a few hours after the band returned from a successful trip to Japan. We spoke about the new album and more and you can hear what was said, along with four tracks from that album on the Friday NI Rocks Show from 20th Oct 2017. This is available from our MixCloud site - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/interview-with-phil-lewis-from-la-guns-on-the-friday-ni-rocks-show-20th-oct-2017/

NI ROCKS Recommends "In Range" by TARGET

Published: Tuesday, 17 October 2017 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 4248

“In Range” was actually recorded back in 1979 and it was to have been the third album from the band Target, but was never released before the band split in 1982. After almost 40 years it is finally being released on 20th October through Escape Music (at the same time as another “lost” recording by the band Gypsy Soul). Target featured the late Jimi Jamison on vocals before he went on to front Cobra and Survivor and this release is well worth checking out.

NI ROCKS Recommends "Winners and Losers" by GYPSY SOUL

Published: Monday, 16 October 2017 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 4337

“Winners and Losers” by Gypsy Soul is one of two albums being released by Escape Music on 20th October that gives rock fans a chance to hear tracks that have been lost to the archives for too long. (The other being “In Range” by Target). Gypsy Soul formed in 1987 and disbanded in 1989 without releasing an album, but they had recorded a number of tracks. These have now been brought together for the album “Winners and Losers”. I featured the track “The West” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 13th October.
