Mike Tramp – ‘Songs of White Lion’ – Volume 3 (Frontiers)

Well, if you’re reading this, then the name Mike Tramp and especially that of White Lion is obviously no surprise to you and is more than likely somewhere to be found in your record collection. As you can more than likely tell, with this being the third volume of Mike Tramp giving a new updated shine to the musical legacy of his much-loved and missed ‘80s/’90s hard rock band White Lion. While this is Mike’s voice in the right here, right now, the songs have a timeless feel to them.

As you can imagine, the ‘hits’ were re-recorded for the first two volumes. On this third entry, we have the deeper cuts, such as the opening ‘Dirty Woman’ from 1989’s Big Game. This new version is less polished than the original, but that doesn’t mean the impact is any less. As with most new recordings of older songs, sometimes it can highlight the limitations of the original. However, I can gladly say that these new versions add something to the original that can make the experience fresh.

‘Warsong’ from 1991’s swansong album ‘Mane Attraction’, is even more impactful than that of the original and with the state of the world as it is at the moment, has never been more relevant. ‘Fight To Survive’ is the first of four tracks from the band’s debut album of the same name. Now it is these tracks that retain my interest the most, as I got into the band via their major label debut ‘Pride’. So reliving these tracks is glorious.

Another track from Mane Attraction is ‘She’s Got Everything’, which, along with many of the lyrics of the late ‘80s / early ‘90s has aged too great; that said, the song is a great reminder of what made White Lion great during their heyday

‘If My Mind Is Evil’ and ‘Don’t Say It’s Over’ both come from the ‘Big Game’ album and while being decent – I never loved the originals but these new recordings give me a reason to delve back in the the wondrous back catalogue and see if I was being too harsh to them the first time around.

As mentioned previously it is the ‘Fight to Survive’ tracks that hold the most interest for their ears, and with ‘In The City’, ‘Cherokee’ and ‘All Burn In Hell’, the new versions have breathed new life into these songs originally made some 40 years ago.

Mike has said that these re-recordings are not meant to replaced the originals but to compliment his journey and show where he is now and that this volume 3 is the emotional conclusion of a trilogy of music that connects the past to the present.

These have been recorded by Mike’s trusted band, which features Marcus Nand on guitar, Claus Langeskov on bass and Morten Hellborn on the drums. The majority of these songs were written by the main duo of the original group i.e. Mike Tramp and guitarist Vito Brtatta, with the exception of their cover of the Golden Earring classic – ‘Radar Love’.

As a fan of Mr Tramp – this will sit happily amongst my collection. There I deem this a winner in every sense of the word.

PUNCHDRUNK SAINTS -DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM – OCTOBER 24TH VIA CADIZ MUSIC

ORDER HERE:

FEATURING COCKNEY REJECTS GUITARIST MICKY GEGGUS

As 2023 drew to a close, The Cockney Rejects’ guitarist and founder, Micky Geggus, after much soul searching, decided to leave the band that he created in 1979.

Along with original Rejects’ bassist, Vinny Riordan, Mick decided to break free from the confines of punk rock and to embark upon a project that encompassed his first love: hard, heavy, and at the same time, melodic, Rock. Mick’s love of rock music will be of no surprise to any fans of the Rejects, as the band confirmed their passion for more traditional rock sounds as far back as their Pete Way (UFO) produced album ‘The Wild Ones’ in ’82.

Having already written several songs, Mick began a series of trips to producer Kevin Poree’s Canterbury studio where he began to lay down the tracks that would become the basis of the Punchdrunk Saints’ debut album.

Along with bassist, Riordan, and drummer, Reg Downer, the songs began to take on a distinct personality and feel, ranging from hard ‘n’ heavy anthems to searing, soulful ballads. This was exactly the mix that Geggus had envisaged. Now the search for a singer who could do justice to the material began.

Acting on a tip from Mick’s East London guitarist friends, (former Iron Maiden and Lionheart guitarist) Dennis Stratton, and Dave Edwards (who played in Remus Down Boulevard with Dennis Stratton and in Ramrod with Rory Gallagher), Mick discovered inexperienced but brilliant vocalist, Marc Salmon. The pair soon took the trip down to Poree’s studio in Canterbury and the results were phenomenal. “He’d done his homework,” said Geggus. “I was blown away by the control and power he demonstrated in that first session. I thought ‘fuck me, we really got something here. This band is gonna be incredible!’”

Fast forward a year, and the debut Punchdrunk Saints album is here. From the opening stomp of “Holy Mother” to the anthemic first single “I Wanna Know What It’s Like” and the heartfelt, uplifting “Come Home”, the Punchdrunk Saints debut is a 10-track masterclass in anthemic hard rock with every song a crafted gem in its own right. This album is refreshing, vital and new and if there’s any justice in this world it deserves to be heard at maximum volume in stadia across the globe!

Sadly, neither Vinny nor Reg could commit to the band long term, but Mick and Marc were soon blessed with the arrival of powerhouse drummer, Chris Nedzynski, and brilliant bass player for Leader of the Down, Tim Atkinson. Tim is the co-founder of Leader of the Down, who up until his passing in 2011, featured the late, great Würzel from Motörhead, and he has worked in the past with legends such as Lemmy, Whitfield Crane from Ugly Kid Joe and Bruce Foxton from The Jam, to name just a few). Tim and Chris both constitute a mighty rhythm section in what is now a unique outfit.

Punchdrunk Saints recently played their debut show at London’s legendary 100 Club to an ecstatic audience in an incendiary performance that surpassed already lofty expectations and included a guest appearance on guitar from former Iron Maiden six-stringer, Dennis Stratton.

Make no mistake, the Punchdrunk Saints are here to stay. And then some.

Problem Addict – ‘Back In Jail’ (Dummest Records)

Second EP offering from this Philly trio of noise makers who live in the shadows and walk on the sleezy side of town, where shit happens and the music is rough and ready. Brought up on a steady diet of T Rex rhythms and dreams but with a darker reality of festering punk rock, Problem Addict have got it going on. ‘Back In Jail’ is what the kids would describe as Fire, or the slightly older amongst us would say is banging. Me I’d say it has the beating heart of Bolan played through TSOL’s instruments and the DK’s four-track recorder.

What it lacks in finesse and big studio edits and sheen, it has a beating heart full of napalm and it ain’t afraid to let it all hang out. ‘Damaged In Transit’ is the sound of cheap alcohol fueled punk rock giving the listener the middle finger right up in their grill.

It’s short and oh so sweet, and we love that here at RPM Online, it’s got heart and soul in spades and a pocket full of great ideas and tunes, and boy is it gonna let ’em out. Hell, to finish they even open Pandora’s box of pop shit just to fuck with you some more. Bad drugs Bowie and Bolan mixed with some more noisy fuckers but with a style and swagger Problem Addict might get to make a diamond long player with great tunes or they really might end up in jail or as Michael Monroe once said ‘Dead Jail or Rock n Roll’ one of the three only they can decide but lets hop for the latter. top tunes.

Bryan Adams – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds – 30th August 2025

Bryan Adams, now an independent artist on his own label Bad Records, is promoting his brand new album ‘Roll With the Punches’ with a series of intimate album release shows in select clubs across the UK.

I was not going to miss the opportunity to catch a multi-million selling artist up close and personal in my favourite venue, The Brudenell in Leeds.

With a strict no phones/recording policy in place, no support act and an early start, this proves to be anything but a normal show for the artist and punter alike.

The no phones system actually works really well. After queuing in the rain, you are handed a pouch to place your phone in, which is then locked and handed back, and you keep it on you for the entire show.

It sounds like a bit of a faff, but it’s not. It’s well worth it to be free from a sea of screens in front of you, filming the entire thing.

The four-piece band take to the stage bang at 8 pm. Dressed in a tight black T-shirt, blue jeans and regulation short back & sides, Bryan Adams looks shorter than I imagined, and has barely aged in years. He smiles, straps on a bass and tells us what to expect. No hits tonight, they don’t have time, this is all about the new album. They will play the whole thing and answer questions in between songs. Then they proceed to kick out the jams with the opening title track. It’s a song with an instant, classic Adams chorus and a punchy, jarring riff, a great opener. With Adams handling bass duties, long-serving members Keith Scott on guitar, Mickey Curry on drums and Gary Breit on keyboards, the four-piece band sounds tight and they truly rock. The sound is great, the vocals spot on, to be honest, it sounds like the goddamn record!

Next up is ‘Make Up Your Mind’, another classic sounding Adams signature single. With a chorus that may be designed to be sung en masse in stadiums across the world but sounds perfect here in a small, sweaty club. It feels really surreal seeing a guy of this stature playing a small club show right in front of my eyes.

‘Never Let You Go’ is an anthem that is as euphoric as it gets. That rousing chorus builds and builds. It’s a strong song,

possibly the best on the album. Is that goosebumps I feel travelling up my arms? I’m sure I’m not the only one.

It turns out they are playing the album in sequence, albeit with between-song breaks for Q&A’s. There is a certain ebb & flow to the show as the sequencing has been designed for the album listening experience.

The band are doing 3 sets each night on this promotional tour, when questioned as to the motives, Bryan explains that’s how they started in bars, doing 3-4 sets a night, so it’s a sort of return to the band’s roots.

And there is a nostalgic feel to the album as a whole, whether that is intentional I don’t know, maybe I should’ve stuck my hand up to ask the question!

The second half of the set, as with the album, shifts the mood from the upbeat, arena rockers to the more reflective and dare I say ‘power ballad’ territory. Bryan swaps his bass for an acoustic guitar and a harmonica to channel his inner Bob Dylan on the emotive anti-war anthem ‘Love Is Stronger Than Hate’.

The following ‘How’s That Working For Ya’ sounds like it could’ve been lifted from the ‘18 Til I Die’ sessions, it has that punchy, radio friendly bravado going on.

Elsewhere, ‘Two Arms To Hold You’ is a declaration of love that straddles Bon Jovi radio rock and the following ‘Be The Reason’ screams ‘album track’ on first listen and could be the only song that comes close to being classed as ‘filler’ tonight.

Poignant set closer and new single ‘Will We Ever Be Friends Again’ leaves things on a reflective note. And that’s it, 1 hour, job done.

Hats off to Bryan Adams for arranging these shows. Not only for playing intimate venues, but for insisting on a no phones policy to make sure everyone gets the true live experience every musician surely wants for their fan base: to experience living in the moment and not watching a gig through a screen.

Ok, so some of the hits would’ve been nice, but tonight was about the new album and showing the fanbase that he can still write a good tune or two, and is excited to perform new songs with the conviction and passion they deserve.

A truly special, one-of-a-kind night that surely has to go down as one of the highlights of the gigging year.

Robert Kane- ‘Blues Is Blues’ (Conquest Music)

Life is full of surprises. It seems like just the other day I was reviewing ‘Damn Right’, the first Dr Feelgood album to contain all original songs, and damn fine it is too. That was an unexpected treat. And in March, I finally got to see the band live, in France, with Robert Kane in his element. Now, after an illustrious career, I’m listening to his debut solo album, ‘Blues Is Blues’.

The blues can be a tricky one. Simple, yes. Easy, no. I freely admit that, as a young man, I really overdid my blues obsession, and, rhythm and blues aside, don’t listen to that much now. I am, inevitably, a bit of a snob, musically speaking. I like my blues rough, economical and from the heart. Thankfully, this was pretty much Robert’s instruction to the musicians involved in the recording.

So, we have 11 songs, mainly originals that he hadn’t previously recorded, but felt that they deserved to be heard. Every track was nailed on the first or second take, predominantly live, and this is partly why they really stand out. Lead single, ‘Halfway To Memphis’, hits out with some slide guitar and his wailing harmonica, which are also both present on ‘Heart Attack Baby’. A fine way to start. ‘Staying Home’ really pares things back, just a lone vocal and a picked guitar melody. Suitably mellow for the subject matter; “Life ain’t easy, but life is good. Gonna stay home and live the way I should”. I hear you.

‘How Many Times’ uses a refrain you will indeed have heard many times before, but we are dealing with a medium that generally uses three chords, so it shouldn’t be a surprise. What counts is that, when done properly, as here, that’s all you need. ‘Man Who’s Got The Blues’ broadens the blues palette, with some classy keyboard playing, yet never overplayed. Perfect for a smoky club.

‘Baby, Please Come Home’ is essentially a rewrite of ‘Baby, Please Don’t Go’, and Robert’s version of ‘The Ballad Of Staggerlee’ has added some new verses to the blues classic. But, rawest of all is the album closer ‘Jawbone’. A lone vocal describes the mythical character, which could easily be a lost blues traditional. I’ve always said that Mr Brilleaux was the greatest white rhythm and blues singer ever. After 26 years and counting with Dr Feelgood, it’s clear that Mr Kane is a blues voice to be reckoned with. He is steeped in the music, assured in his place, and it’s a pleasure to hear.

Bastardes – ‘No Glory’ (Sunny Bastards)

No Glory is the brainchild of Stefan from City Saints and Arild from Troublemakers, and if you’re after a rock-solid bastard child of Rancid and Cock Sparrer, then look no further. With a bouncing and well-defined production, this record is up for a good time right out of the traps. ‘Wild Young And Free’ sets the tone, and everything follows as you’d hope it to. Big hooks, good times and full of melodies and riffs.

With their colours nailed to the mast and wanting to pay tribute to the mighty Sparrer, they drafted in Chips Kiesbye (SATOR, Millencolin, Michael Monroe, The Hellacopters, The Boys), and it all fell into place, The album leans on really strong melodies and good time lyrics it follows, ‘Drunk on Dreams’ and there isn’t much to split over the strongest songs but I love ‘Pay The Price’ for the riff and the melody works really well.

Tracks like ‘Born A Loser’ will see a soaked dance floor with all that spilt beer, and the Oi rock n roll of ‘Run Away’ with its boundless energy will no doubt be a favourite. The pace increases for ‘Raise Your Voice’, but I do like the details of adding harmonica on ‘Like A Drug’, sounding like something Michael Monroe would record.

The main theme is a tip of the hat to those who trailblazed a scene, but there is more to this than just a tribute. It stands tall next to their peers on merit, and with a pint of beer in their hand, they’ll hold their own. Of course, the album has plenty of sing-along moments, none more so than the encore of ‘One More Day’. It signs off as strong as it kicked off. Excellent album, polished and delivered with love and quality. Go and get it Oi Oi!

MSG release new video ahead of new album

MICHAEL SCHENKER

SURPRISE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR

NEW MSG ALBUM DON’T SELL YOUR SOUL ANNOUNCED!

Exclusive world premiere of the title track – Album out October 3rd

What was already a standout moment of this year’s Wacken Open Air, the world’s largest metal festival, turned into something even bigger when Michael Schenker pulled a surprise no one saw coming. After delivering a fierce My Years With UFO set to tens of thousands of attendees on Thursday night, the architect of hard rock used the world’s loudest stage to announce a brand-new Michael Schenker Group studio album: Don’t Sell Your Soul will be released on October 3rd via earMUSIC.

To mark the occasion, Schenker and his band closed the show with a world-exclusive live premiere of the new album’s title track – a powerful encore that took the Wacken crowd by surprise and was met with instant enthusiasm on the muddy festival fields.

PRE-SAVE THE SINGLE HERE!

Earlier in the set, the Wacken faithful had already been treated to a once-in-a-lifetime moment: Slash walked on stage as a surprise guest, joining Schenker on the UFO classic “Mother Mary”. Two of rock’s most iconic guitarists side by side – a scene few will forget.

Don’t Sell Your Soul is the latest studio album by the Michael Schenker Group and the second part of an album trilogy that began with 2024’s My Years With UFO.

The album was produced by Michael Schenker and Michael Voss, and recorded with Schenker’s longtime allies: Bodo Schopf (drums), Barend Courbois (bass), and Steve Mann (guitar, keys). On vocals: the impeccable Erik Grönwall – undoubtedly one of the finest rock voices of his generation.

Monty Oxymoron – ‘The Piano Plays ‘Til Midnight’ (The Songs Of The Damned) (Damaged Goods)

Monty has been a valued member of The Mighty Damned since 1996 and has contributed to the songwriting process, and has also written and played with the Captain, but did you know he is a trained Psychiatric nurse and Psychotherapist

Now its fair to say The Damned have been the pioneers of Punk since its inception and have easily weaved their magic through many of its subgenres as the pioneers never afraid to take a chance and always had diversity in th e records introducing keyboards and having songs with synths so it might only have been a matter of time before someone in the camp inspired Monty to get in a studio and lay down his parts or interpritations for many of the bands best loved songs adding another flavour to many classics and some not so classic. Join Monty on this magical mystery ride.

Now I’m not sure if his tongue is firmly in his cheek or this is a deadly serious project, either way I was intrigued to investigate all nineteen tracks. Sure, we would all agree there are some quite beautiful songs that either already have significant piano parts or involve keys in some fashion, so beginning with ‘Beauty Of The Beast’ is safe territory, but having no vocals and just piano and no synths is very interesting. ‘Blackout’ had me upright and not sure whether to laugh out loud or to appreciate the majesty of the melody or scratch my head at the blasphemy of hearing it like this. Sure, the breakdown sounds wonderful, but whatever gets you through, I guess.

Monty often has me scratching my head as he dances on the side of the stage or leaps up and down, but when the band do the huge songs like ‘Absinth’ I see his worth and like what I hear. There are some safe tunes like ‘History Of The World’ where it works, and others like ‘Smash It Up’ that sound like it belongs on Blackpool sea front, amusing old punks in their kiss me quick hats.

‘Life Goes On’ sounds fantastic, and is it rude of me to prefer Captain’s performance of ‘Just Can’t Be Happy’? ‘Shadow Of Love’ works as does ‘Limit Club’, a song the band should get back in the set and leave it there in place of ‘Eloise’ if anyone’s asking. ‘The Dog’, ‘Disco Man’, ‘Generals’, ‘Natures Dark Passion’ and the beautiful ‘Under The Floor’ make this all worthwhile.

Saying that the tribute pieces to end this album, dedicated to Cap, Dave, Paul, Stu, and Pinch, are lovely, but not something I will be returning to, (Jazz just goes over my head or on this case right through it) even if the one for Paul sounds like the same amount of notes Paul hits every song hes ever played on. For Damned completists, no doubt a lovely piece of curio from a maverick figure in the most glorious and wonderful punk rock band that ever made a note of music. Long live The Damned and everything they do, even the bat shit crazy piano lounge albums with no words just piano. Respect to Monty and whoever commissioned this crazy album. I await the tour dates as Monty heads out on a solo tour with this bad boy.
