_{“Licence 2 Rock” is the debut album from German band Licence and it was released by Metalapolis Records on 27th October. There’s not really that much information about the band on the press release or online, but they formed in 2014 and are centred around a father and daughter on guitar and vocals respectively. I included the track “Don’t Touch The Light” on the Friday NI Rocks Show this week.}

_{Guitarist Steam Thiess formed Licence in 2014 and recruited his daughter Jacky Coke as the singer before adding Pappe on bass and Sammy Sin on drums! The band has played some local shows and festivals and hopes to expand their reach with the release of “Licence 2 Rock”.}

_{There are 11 tracks on the album, including the intro and it has a distinctive 80’s feel – without being dated or clichéd.}

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{The simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends” is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It’s a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional “review”!}

_{My musical tastes cover most things rock; from the not too melodic to the not too heavy. The albums that I’ll be recommending are those that you’ll hear me playing tracks from on my shows on Rock Radio NI.}
