Kee Of Hearts, the new project built around two true melodic rock superstars - Fair Warning singer Tommy Heart and former Europe guitarist Kee Marcello, have released a video for “The Storm”, the opening track from their self-titled debut album, due for release on September 15th. Watch the new video below.
With a line-up rounded out by Ken Sandin (ex-Alien) on bass and Italian drummer Marco Di Salvia (Pino Scotto), the guys started working on their debut album in late 2016. With their songwriting strongly focused on melodic rock songs, the album came to completion under the direction of producer Alessandro Del Vecchio and covers a wide spectrum of styles with a lot of attention given to crafting great hooks delivered by musicians that know how to deliver the goods. Musically, the band operates in a territory defined by Scandinavian AOR meeting German melodic hard rock with influences from the classic US AOR giants (think Giant, Journey, etc.).
Tracklisting:
“The Storm” “A New Dimension” “Crimson Dawn” “Bridge To Heaven” “Stranded” “Mama Don't Cry” “Invincible” “S.O.S.” “Edge Of Paradise” “Twist Of Fate” “Learn To Love Again” “The Storm” video:
Southern California's long running triple axe attack, Leatherwolf, have announced a UK club tour with special guests The Darker My Horizon, which is set to commence on the heels of the band's Hair Metal Heaven festival appearance at Hull City Hall in Kingston-upon-Hull, England on August 27th.
Joining original Leatherwolf members, Michael Olivieri and Dean Roberts, guitarist Rob Math, and long-time bassist Patrick Guyton on these dates is 21-year old guitar virtuoso Luke Man who, like the band, hails from Orange County, CA. Explains Olivieri: "Unfortunately, we've had to part ways with Joey Tafolla because he decided to join Graham Bonnet for a tour which collides with our preparations for these upcoming UK shows. Luckily, we found Luke (Man) who is not only an excellent player but happens to live close by and was eager to step in and step up. He's been busting his balls learning the songs and is sounding great! Actually, I went to see him with his band, Railgun, when they played the VIP Lounge at the Iron Maiden show out in San Bernardino and we jammed a couple of Leatherwolf songs! Luke nailed it so I know he'll do great with us. We look forward to unveiling the new lineup live and finally getting back over to Britain for the first time since the 1989 Street Ready tour with Vow Wow.”

Lynch Mob’s new album, The Brotherhood, will be released on Friday, September 8th via Rat Pak Records. Pre-order details at this location. Produced by Chris "The Wizard" Collier (Flotsam And Jetsam, Prong, KXM), The Brotherhood features 11 brand new hard rock tracks. This album will surely resonate with long time fans of the band, as well as those longing for that good ol' hard rock sound and feel."The Brotherhood highlights the unique pairing of Oni Logan and George Lynch, and along with Sean McNabb (bass) and Jimmy D’Anda (drums), the band has created a solid offering from start to finish. From the heavy guitar riffs of the opening track “Main Offender” to the melodic album finale ”Miles Away”, Lynch Mob have once again proven they remain on top of their game and at the top of their genre! On the subject of Lynch Mob’s new record, Oni Logan comments, “After doing quite a few miles together with this latest lineup of Sean McNabb and Jimmy D’Anda, we consider ourselves a pack of wolves, and we came up with the name The Brotherhood for the title of the next Lynch Mob album. It’s got more of an adventurous sound in part and maybe a darker, colder sound to it. We are always willing to go farther. We come from the early 90’s and it's when we released the first Lynch Mob album which set a sound and course for us. Here we are 27 years later, George and I are still able to keep on stretching. As a player, as a writer, that is very important to us. Otherwise we would be fooling ourselves and fooling you”. George Lynch adds, "We wrote this album as a band and the name of the record reflects what the band is about, and what all my bands have been about since I've been a kid. This is my second family. These are my brothers. You go through a lot together and have a lot of experiences together. And that then becomes a part of the music." Tracklisting: “Main Offender” “Mr. Jekyll And Hyde” “I'll Take Miami” “Last Call Lady” “Where We Started” “The Forgotten Maiden's Pearl” “Until the Sky Comes Down” “Black Heart Days” “Black Mountain” “Dog Town Mystics” “Miles Away” “Until I Get My Gold” (bonus track) Courtesy of www.bravewords.com

Former Adrenaline Mob bassist Jon Moyer has posted the following message: "This talented, humble, sweet soul left us today way too soon. If you saw him perform you were lucky. If you knew him you were blessed. RIP David Z. You were a beast on stage and it was my pleasure to have shared it with you on your last days. Going to miss you brother." David Z was also a member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Long time friend and bandmate Chris Caffery posetd on Facebook with the folllowing message: "I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

For now my thoughts and prayers are with his mother and brothers and those closest to him. Also with Russell and Mike Orlando and everyone involved in that terrible accident yesterday. Again, I appreciate your kind words. I see the words 'Sorry for your loss.' This wasn't my loss...the world lost someone pretty special."

Mr. Big have released a video for the new song “Defying Gravity”, featured on their upcoming new album, Defying Gravity. Watch the new clip below.
Defying Gravity will be available on CD, LP, deluxe CD/DVD, and digitally on July 21st, and a deluxe Collector’s Edition box set will be available on August 18th which includes deluxe CD/DVD, LP, poster, numbered lithograph, t-shirt, sticker. The box set is strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide. Defying Gravity deftly showcases that patented Mr. Big blend of crunch and melody, from the freight-train ride of opening cut "Open Your Eyes" to the harmony-laden wonderment of "Damn I'm In Love Again" to the grateful/wistful nostalgia of "1992" (recalling the days when the band was flying high atop the singles charts with their international #1 smash "To Be With You") to the barnburning slide-blues closer, "Be Kind”. Overall, Defying Gravity is prime evidence that the only thing Mr. Big remains tethered to is their ongoing pursuit of achieving creative excellence. Original members Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitars), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Pat Torpey (drums) reunited with producer Kevin Elson (who was behind the boards for the band’s 1989 self-titled debut, 1991’s Lean Into It and 1993’s Bump Ahead) for an intensive six-day recording session in Los Angeles. While Torpey was unable to perform some of the songs on Defying Gravity due to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, Matt Starr has been filling in for him on a majority of the album. Starr also been touring with the band for the past couple of years, with Torpey able to play a couple of songs at each stop. “It was great to get back in the studio with our original producer, Kevin Elson,” says guitarist Paul Gilbert. “Kevin recorded all of our original classic albums from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and we immediately felt that magic chemistry with him on Defying Gravity. We basically played live in the studio. Over the years, we’ve all had a chance to experiment with every recording technique possible, but it’s still always the best just to play together as a band. Most of my guitar solos were tracked live with the band. I’ve worked hard on my improvisation in the last few years, and it really paid off on this record…both melodically, and on the face-melting stuff.” Defying Gravity tracklisting: “Open Your Eyes” “Defying Gravity” “Everybody Needs A Little Trouble” “Damn I’m In Love Again” “Mean To Me” “Nothing Bad (About Feeling Good)” “Forever And Back” “She’s All Coming Back To Me Now” “1992” “Nothing At All” “Be Kind” DVD contents: “Defying Gravity” (music video) “Everybody Needs A Little Trouble” (music video) Making of Defying Gravity (video) Making of “Everybody Needs A Little Trouble” (video) Track by track interview

It’s an incredible accomplishment when a rock band has been successful enough to reach the 25-year mark since the release of their first album.
And this year, raunchy southern rockers Jackyl have accomplished this feat, and are celebrating with an appropriately-titled compilation, ’25,’ which drops July 28 via Mighty Loud Records. The 18-track set (which can be preordered via the band’s official site, jackyl.com) features such Jackyl radio hits as “Down on Me,” “The Lumberjack,” “Push Comes to Shove,” and “Favorite Sin,” as well as two previously unreleased tracks - a live rendition of “Redneck Punk,” as well as a cover of Black Oak Arkansas’ “Hot and Nasty.” “At the time we first hit the scene, we were told by quite a few interviewers and fans that we sounded like a cross between Black Oak Arkansas and AC/DC,” explains Jackyl. “While we was very familiar with AC/DC, we were not with BOA. We went back and listened, and were blown away - so much so, that we recorded a cover of one of their most kick ass tunes, ‘Hot and Nasty,’ which is now finally getting its release on this comp.” First bursting upon the scene with their self-titled, platinum-certified debut album in 1992, Jackyl has made a name for themselves as a killer live band that delivers night after night, and has continued to offer up good old fashioned blues boogie over the years, as evidenced on such subsequent albums as 1994’s gold-certified ‘Push Comes to Shove,’ all the way to their most recent release, 2016’s ‘Rowyco.’ “With this compilation, we are celebrating 25 years of Jackyl rock n’ roll - the fundamentals of rock n roll,” adds Jesse. “And beware - we are not slowing down anytime soon.” ‘25’ Tracklisting: Down on Me When Will It Rain The Lumberjack Push Comes to Shove Secret of the Bottle Dumb Ass Country Boy Cut the Crap Kill the Sunshine My Moonshine Kicks Your Cocaine's Ass Just Like a Negro (featuring DMC) Screwdriver Encore Favorite Sin Rally Just Because I'm Drunk Redneck Punk (Live) - previously unreleased Hot and Nasty - previously unreleased TOUR DATES: Thursday, August 10, 2017 in Sturgis, SD Full @ Throttle Saloon Friday, August 25, 2017 in Sterling Heights, MI @ Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre @ Freedom Hill Saturday, August 26, 2017 in Franklin, OH @ J.D.
