This is going to rock like crazy with new blood and fists pumping against corporate tyranny, bullshit wars, and lying dead religions.

REED – RITCHOTTE – Finally… 2012

now!

Any one of those words can be used to describe his technique. The nickname has been with him since the late 70’s when he was working in one of his first sessions (fusion was big at that time), and it called for some fast guitar work. The keyboard player listened to him play and immediately nicknamed him ‘Rocket”. The name was self-apparent and it stuck. His family name, Ritchotte (pronounced Ri-shot) is French-Canadian Indian, descendants of the Cree Indians.

Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost -The Blue Hour 2012

now!

I am a huge fan of 60?s and 70?s progressive rock and I also have a special place in my heart for experimental folk. Something about these styles of music captures my imagination and interest. Perhaps it’s the sense of total and utter creative freedom that these artists seem to exude. Perhaps it’s the wealth of instruments and tones used. In the end, however, it doesn’t really matter as I can just sit back and truly enjoy this music.

SIXSTEP – HOUSE OF CARDS 2012

TODAY!

Clearly, Orange County’s Sixstep marches to their own beat, wherever that beat may come from. They call their sound “comprehensive rock,” whatever the what for that means. House of Cards, their second album I think (much of their information is sketchy and obtuse), rolls together elements of classic rock with portions of ska, reggae, jazz, and blues in what can only be considered eclectic.

Cathrine Jauer – When I Sing 2012

now!

When I Sing is the triumphant solo release from German-born singer/songwriter Cathrine Jauer. Better known as the vocalist and bassist for the rock-pop band First Child, Jauer has come into her own as a solo artist and delivers a nicely done, upbeat album that runs the gamut from acoustic ballads to blues rock to even a little rockabilly madness.

BODRAGAZ – SYMPHONY 2012

NOW!

There’s a lot to like about the Colorado metal band with the strange name, Bodragaz. Their seventh studio album, Symphony, lives up to its name, for one. Here’s a solid collection symphonic and melodic power metal tunes.Other strengths define the band as well. Not the least of which is strong song arrangements, spry musicianship, strong vocals, and solid production. Symphony is well-executed and simply sounds great. The orchestrated symphonic synth layers throughout give many songs an epic texture which reminds of Italian cinematic metal.
