REVIEW : CRUZH, The Jungle Revolution (Frontiers Music s.r.l. Release: 22 March 2024)

I really like this band and, to be hones,t I'm always curious whenever CRUZH releases a new album. My conection with Cruzh started back in 2013 when I interviewed the band's bass player (read the interview here ). That time the band's name was CRUSH, they released a brilliant tune (In A Blink Of An Eye) and kept their anonymosity very well from fans and music press.

REVIEW : Arkado – Open Sea, (Pride & Joy Music, Release: 23.02.2024)

To be honest, I was very curious about this release; firstly, it is the amazing cover artwork by Nello Dell’Omo (Mecca, Jim Peterik, Silent Tiger, Stan Bush etc) and secondly the participation of Philip Lindstrand on vocals and guitar were two things that grabbed my attention. Also, the fact that ARKADO is hailing from Sweden and in the press release wrote melodic rock is always a good sign of what's to expect.
