Seven days in Rock and Roll can be a long time or if you like us then it’ll fly by.\u00a0 With some exclusive interviews and a whole lot of records reviewed we hope we’ve at least shone a little light into a corner of the entertainment world we think houses the best of the best and having the likes of Rich Jones give an interview<\/a> with some snippets\u00a0about\u00a0the new Michael Monroe album revealed ‘One Man Gang’ is now out of the bag and having the likes of Nasty Suicide and Captain Sensible playing on the record 2019 is shaping up nicely or as someone here at HQ said “that’s\u00a0album of the year sorted for\u00a02019”.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also brought you Paul\u00a0Collins interview<\/a>\u00a0who is the self declared\u00a0king of power pop although I did get a call in to HQ saying that wasn’t quite true as Rags now holds that title but I’m not getting involved in that debate but we did announce that Rich Ragany is holding an album launch<\/a> in London Town in January and the line up is a very impressive set of bands that shouldn’t be missed details can be found on RPM online News<\/a> section.<\/p>\n

There were live reviews from Japanese Garage legends King Brothers<\/a> as well as acoustic platinum seller Eric Martin<\/a>\u00a0and on Friday we brought you a review of The Feelgood Band<\/a> playing in London which rounded up a pretty diverse bunch from around the globe I’m sure you’ll agree?\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For our bread and butter album reviews, we had some old new um very old and one turkey\u00a0so a festive collection of records were covered by a crack team of scribes.\u00a0 We previewed Black Friday RSD must own – Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers ‘DTK’<\/a> as well as newcomers Estrons<\/a> that went down extremely well here.\u00a0 We took a trip to New York for Palmyra Delran<\/a> and her doppelgangers\u00a0and whilst we were there Beechwood<\/a> were heading out the door to Europe for a tour but left us their new long player which is also an impressive second album this year from the three-piece.\u00a0 The Turkey well we couldn’t sit Idol let Billy<\/a> off without mentioning his revisited best-of collection that has been given the dance remix treatment which could have worked but cutting edge it isn’t.\u00a0 90’s dated Ibiza dance off it might have been but disappointing\u00a0is what it is and we can only bring you the truth here at RPM even though we love William Broad we’re excited for Generation Sex but not his new collection of remixes. There were the likes of the excellent Bitterlicks<\/a> and Dave Kusworth\u00a0<\/a>records reviewed before they hit the shops as well as Thomas Silvers<\/a> much anticipated solo album.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not wanting to finish on a downer we look forward to the coming week where you have to keep it RPM online because we’re bringing you The Hip Priests and He Who Cannot Be Named live and where else are you getting that and Junkyard bookending Cowboy Junkies?\u00a0 Nowhere\u00a0that’s\u00a0where. Also, we have albums from Honest John Plain, Australians Civic, New York Sick OF It All and Europeans\u00a0like Youth Avoiders and Fertile Hump.\u00a0 So remember to keep it RPM online and as Lux would say Stay Sick.<\/p>\n
