Back in the ’80s, we had bands that claimed to be, “Loud, Rude and Aggressive”. Today it’s “Lewd, Crude and (apparently) perpetually enamoured”. Makes me wonder what people like Tipper Gore would think about today’s music. Bring it on Tipper, we won back then, we will stand tall for rock once again! Enough of that, […]

Here at CGCM, we love to help promote new and upcoming bands. October 18, 2021, is the day that I first heard of Kardang. Henning messaged me on Facebook asking if he could send me a song to see if I could play it on my radio show. I host the “Power Chord” here on […]

GIRISH And The CHRONICLES – Rock The Highway (Album Review)
The Chronicle Heavy Metal is slowly but surely taking over the world. The latest nook this beloved music genre reared its head is, India.

PASSION – Under The Covers E.P. (Album Review)
A little Passion Under The Covers One of the things I think everyone loves is a little Passion Under The Covers. Honestly, who doesn’t love that? One other thing these days is a pleasant surprise. A band releasing an E.P. that I knew about is just that… A surprise! It was a great shock to […]
MOON REVERIE – Moon Reverie (Album Review)
About The Band: There seems to be no end to artists that are new to me. I, like many reading this, think I am well up on bands and artists within the rock/metal/prog genres, yet every few weeks I hear a new name to me that makes my ears shoot up. This time it is […]
ADX – Bestial (Album Review)
