Reckless Love Rocks it for the 12th day of Christmas!

December 23, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 12 On the 12th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some bold glam rock  with Reckless Love. Being the last day of the 12 Days of Christmas, I wanted to really bring out and highlight my love for 80’s rock and sleaze rock. It is as if  Reckless Love were a band frozen in time just before the grunge and alternative rock took over the airwaves. Then they were thawed out and just came out guns blazing  and ready to rock. These guys literally just have everything that I wanted back in my ’80s rock and so much more. They are delivering fresh new music and their song “Born to Break Your Heart” has topped the charts at No. 1 on Fin Radio. This song reminds could rival any Bon Jovi hits and I really like it! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r2WhrQn5UQ&feature=youtu.be] Reckless Love is from Kuopio, Finland and they started back in 2001, first by playing all Guns ‘n Roses cover songs. They have since put out two albums [Read More]

December 22, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 11  On the 11th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some awesome rock  with Hotel Diablo. This band puts together 80’s inspired rock and roll, complete with the power ballads, shredding guitars, strong vocals and octane level energy! Hotel Diablo was formed in 2011 by one of the hardest working guitarists, Alex Grossi and dynamic vocalist Rick Stitch. These guys then completed the perfect union with precision bass by Mike Duda  and adrenaline fed drums by Mike Dupke. Together they serve up some intense rock  for you that we have all been craving. Earlier this year they released their full length album The Return to Psycho California through Scarlet Records. The album was produced by none other than Gilby Clark of Guns n Roses and Rockstar Supernova. The Return to Psycho California is available through Itunes or Amazon.  You are going to love this album. Here is one of my favorite songs from the album, “Psycho, California” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhGDbWlfs04&feature=youtu.be] This is a band you will have to [Read More]

Day 9 brings CrashDiet for 12 Days of Christmas Rock!

December 20, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 9  On the 9th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some sexy glam rock from Crashdiet.  I have been transported back in my time machine and I am walking down the Sunset Strip in the mid 1980’s. Up and down the strip I can catch a show, anything from Glam Metal, Hair Bands, or even some Punk shows. I have my favorite pair of fringed white Zodiac Boots, bright zebra print top and my short pink skirt. Of course I have my hair in my high upstyle and tons of hairspray. I am ready to check out some bands and rock out. That is what Crashdiet brings back to me. All my favorite memories of partying and rocking out in the 80’s but now I can enjoy that same feeling while listening to this Swedish “sleaze rock” band. They are like that second shot of whiskey, it feels great but be prepared for some fun and trouble. I have had some deep discussions with others [Read More]
