Rex Smith – Rock And Roll Dream 1976-1983: 6CD Box Set


Rex Smith, younger brother of Starz vocalist Michael Lee Smith, may be better known to his Stateside fans for his roles on stage and screen; playing motorcycle police officer Jesse Mach in the 1985 TV series “Street Hawk”, as well as guest appearances on “The Love Boat”, “Baywatch”, “Daredevil” and “Caroline In The City”.

TEXAS FLOOD – OVERWORKED & UNDERPAID 2017


Hard gigging, hard living Welsh rockers The Texas Flood might not be awash with cash but the riff-soaked trio are in no mood to let empty pockets destroy their rock and roll dream. The new album is a brutally strong statement of intent from a band that simply refuses to be beaten.

Sister Switchblade – Best Served Cold 2017


Babyjane those shining lights of the Western Australian Rock scene sadly ‘expired’ on New Years Day 2016 whilst in L.A. Vocalist Andy Smith however has been quick to bounce back taking some of the songs he’d planned for the next Babyjane release along with a song he’d recorded in L.A. with original Love/Hate guitarist Jon E Love and created a new album with a number of other Perth musicians under the moniker ‘Sister Switchblade’ (a name I’ve loved since Canberra band Tonk christened their 2005 album thus).

Maverick – Firebird 2017


You always remember the great ones, like that first time you dropped the needle on ‘Lynyrd Skynyrd’ or ‘ZZ Top’, the very first time you heard ‘The Black Crowes’ or the time ‘Mountain’ came on the radio and you just had to find out more.
