Velvet Underground, before becoming more experimental in their own right. They soon caught the attention of legendary DJ and

general tastemaker; John Peel, who had planned to sign them to his Dandelion Records, before financial problems signalled the

demise of said label. In early 1970, they recorded these three tracks on a one-sided 12” acetate. They are the only recordings

by the band still known to still exist. The sole surviving acetate in question, had been sitting in the bass player’s garage since

the 70s and was not in the best of shape; sections of the lacquer had actually flaked off and had to be meticulously glued back on.

Thankfully it has been lovingly restored for the purpose of this archival release by Rise Above Relics.

Limited vinyl pressing of Trivialities is released by Rise Above Relics on February 14th. You can pre-order a copy here:

Featuring the legendary Shane Gaalaas on drums (Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Schenker, B’z) and the incredible Ronnie Romero on vocals (Rainbow, Lords of Black), this international ensemble is set to make waves in the rock world!

A CIRCUS, led by guitarist Luca Federici, draws inspiration from iconic bands like Rainbow, Queen, Deep Purple, Ozzy, and Blackmore’s Night. Get ready to dive into a world of hard rock with a touch of classic prog!

Literally inspired by the idea of two ghosts endlessly searching for each other, this haunting track “Two Ghosts” is a clear homage to the magical atmospheres of Blackmore’s Night. Featuring a simple yet deeply effective melody, the song captures a sense of mystery and longing.

In addition to the rich guitar work, listeners will be treated to the unique sound of an octave mandolin – an instrument that’s both challenging to play and tune, as it’s strung in fifths. This adds an extra layer of depth to the song creating an ethereal quality that transports listeners to another world.

“Judas” stands out as the catchiest and most melodic song of the project, it showcases one of the most solid moments from the rhythmic section featuring different layers. Initially a very slow ballad turning into something more dynamic!

With influences from iconic bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Hendrix, Trafic Jam adds their unique energy to the genre. “The Joke Is Over” encapsulates the essence of classic rock, delivering a sonic journey enriched with blues rock, Hard Rock, and a touch of groove.

Italian rockers 17 Crash’s fourth studio album “Stamina” is now available as of November 18th via Rockshots Records. For the album’s release day, the band is channeling the power of the Kobra Kai (Karate Kid) for their new music video for the full-length’s closing track “Strike First”.
The band continues to explain the song:
“We took the inspiration for this song from the Karate Kid/Kobra Kai – movie/pictures, series. Therefore, it’s necessary to be on guard, without, however, being defeatist or pessimistic. Be always prepared when things are going against you. Be brave and show no mercy to the ones with bad intentions towards you. Don’t let them smell your fear, let them smell the taste of your fist.”

17 Crash’s new record “Stamina” is a much more complex and profound piece of work written entirely during the endless lockdowns from the 2020 pandemic that the world experienced. Their passion for the 80’s glam / hard n’ heavy rock n’ roll crossed with a particular duality between human struggle and the will to fight and resist against all the odds. It might seem that 17 Crash has come a long way, but rest assured they are just warming up for what’s to come.
Colliding their emotions, fears, and wishes, mixing up everything they got inside, and talking about their experiences and how they changed over these past testing years, 17 Crash explains their album in further detail.

“People should listen to this album very carefully, trying to catch the real spirit of it. Words have a very important message in this one, considering the times we are living in and what happened in 2020. The singles show what we are and what we want to say after these two terrible years. It’s like a concept about this crazy modern era and all the effects it brought to us. This record, it’s a box with all the emotions and the feeling we had during the composing process. We are talking about being us at 100% and our fans know that we always speak just about the truth. On this album, we shared everything we wanted to. No secrets, just feelings.” adds the band.
Recommended for fans of H.E.A.T, Crazy Lixx, Eclipse, Hardline, and Stryper
