Lou Gramm Gears Up For Third Solo Album

December 19, 2025

With his recent appearances on tour with FOREIGNER, and the ensemble’s belated joining the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, there’s no time like now for Lou Gramm to prepare a new solo album, something the singer first hinted at as far back as 2019. Lou has two platters to his name, 1987’s “Ready Or Not” and “Long Hard Look” from 1989, and there was an eponymous offering from THE LOU GRAMM BAND in 2009, but “Released” – which will see the light of day on March 20th – is credited to Gramm as an individual.

December 18, 2025

Alex Skolnick has come a long way since his days as a precocious heavy metal star and embraced quite a few styles and genres, the guitarist’s most daring endeavor being playing avant-garde strain of jazz in the company of contrabassist Nathan Peck and drummer Matt Zebroski.

ALEX HARVEY BAND’s Massive Live Box Set To Be Out

December 15, 2025

For all their idiosyncrasy, both in studio and onstage, THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND were a fantastic proposition in front of audience – unreliable, in terms of any given performance’s quality, but fantastic nevertheless, and the Scottish ensemble’s followers, of which there are surprising multitude, never tire of collecting their recordings. It’s these fans, then, that a forthcoming box set is aimed at, with 21 discs spanning 1973-1977 and preserving for posterity no less than 16 concerts.

Louis Cennamo Publishes Memoir

December 14, 2025

Given his stunning technique – those fluid and melodic runs that reverberate with the listener’s very psyche – and talents as composer, why Louis Cennamo‘s name is rarely mentioned within the bassists’ ranks remains a mystery. Not that the British musician ever played in obscure ensembles, what with his resume including THE DIMENSIONS, where he shared the space with Rod Stewart, RENAISSANCE, which he co-founded and rejoined when this collective became ILLUSION, and, though briefly, COLOSSEUM. So it’s about time the veteran shed a light on such an enigma.
