Ok, so the title is a lyric from a U2 song about October but thats the closest Dublins favourite son is gonna get to RPM singles club and to be fair he wouldn’t stand a chance with some of this months singles. from multi-platinum recording artists to some of our favourites paying homage to the gods of Metal none the less\u00a0 its another mixed bag of genres but the standard is the usual high bar we like to set.\u00a0 So without further waffle lets plug the jukebox in and do us all a favour…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Down N Outz – This Is How We Roll (UMC)\u00a0 <\/strong>An uptempo rock and rolla from Joe and the boys sees some neat riffola on the verses courtesy of\u00a0The Quireboys’\u00a0Paul Guerin and Guy Griffin. The band are nicely rounded off by\u00a0Keith Weir\u00a0(keyboards), Share Ross\u00a0(Bass, ex Vixen) and\u00a0Phil\u00a0Martini\u00a0(drums, Wayward Sons) Its the first track taken from the album of the same title and it doesn’t really sound too similar to any of the associated bands and is more in tune with Elliott’s love of ’70s glam rock and Mott The Hoople which is never going to be a bad thing.\u00a0Buy Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Drowns – Hold Fast (Pirates Press)\u00a0<\/strong>Heres the technical piece –\u00a0 this 12\u201c one-sided record will leave just about any vinyl collector speechless.\u00a0On first inspection, this may seem like it\u2019s a picture disc, but it\u2019s not! As the leaves in the wreath are actually transparent! This one-sided record is actually digitally printed on the non-groove side, with two separate passes through the machine, creating one very cool (and very limited!) brand new style of 12\u201c – pressed on real vinyl, sounding great, unlike actual picture discs.<\/p>\n

The possibilities are endless for creating eye-catching and powerful releases using this new method of digitally printing on records… pairing this brand new format with a band garnering so much praise and generating so much excitement right now is the perfect fit; and best way to spread the word about both things, fast! Right, got that?\u00a0 Wow it looks cool I’m sure you’ll agree but its no good if its joust going to be a wall hanger but The Drowns Hold Fast is a fuckin’ blinding slice of uplifting punk rock. The video for Hold Fast is below so you can check it out for yourself bu t’Demons’ is gang vocals and air pumping fist raised anthems and if this is a sample of what’s to come then the album is going to be something special.<\/p>\n
