At some point in your life you just have to take account for your actions and face the music. PROPHETS OF ADDICTION mainman Lesli Sanders has taken that to heart. PROPHETS OF ADDICTION’s fourth album, Face the Music is set for a release on 25 October via BraveWords Records. The first single, Superhero, from the upcoming album will be released 27 September.

Kicking things off with the downright dirty “Flavor of the Danger,” the listener is immediately clued in to what they’re getting with Face the Music, an album loaded with catchy late 70s inspired glam punk n roll riffs, powerful and emotionally resonant vocals and a clever lyrical output. “Let’s Get High” sees the band slide slightly into a melodic goth route ala Sisters of Mercy. The song isn’t a drug reference, but a “recollection of the excitement that a new record would bring as a teenager and after the long wait finally able to hear it for the first time,” says Sanders. The band’s take on the Rod Stewart classic “Maggie May” is nothing short of punk magnificence, The band had the opportunity to play the track for drum legend Carmine Appice, who played with Stewart from 1976 – 1982. Appice was so impressed that he asked, “would you mind if I send this to Rod?” The album’s lead single “Superhero” comes complete with a hook that won’t leave your head for days. “Superhero is a song I have been sitting on for a few years and wasn’t going to record until the right musicians were put in place, realizing the potential. I finally found that group of musicians,” the frontman states.

Face the Music, PROPHETS OF ADDICTION’s debut for Bravewords Records was recorded between 2022 and 2023 in Seattle, WA and Las Vegas, NV and produced, mixed and mastered by Phil Soussan (bass player for Ozzy Osbourne, Billy idol and more). Drummer Wayne Stokely says of the album, “We wanted to make a classic 70’s style rock n’ roll album without losing our raw and punky vibe, but with a modern 2024 production. There’s not a lot of records out there like this one, so I think we achieved our goal. The songs speak for themselves,” while Sanders adds “this is the record I have been wanting to record for years. The feel is right, the musicianship is right, the songs are right and now the time is right for you all to give us your thoughts.”

Of the band’s signing with hotshot upstart label Bravewords, Sanders declares “We were looking for the right label and the search was extensive, the most important aspect to me was getting it out there for people to hear – otherwise, what’s the point, right?” while Stokely adds, “I’ve known Tim and Giles for years now. Plus, I’m already signed to the label with another act so it seemed like a natural fit.”

 "Rock legend John Corabi—renowned for his work with Mötley Crüe, The Scream, Union, ESP, and The Dead Daisies—steps into the spotlight with “New Day” his first full-length solo album of original material. Recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by multi-platinum songwriter and producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Buckcherry), the album fuses classic ’70s rock, soul, and blues influences into a sound that is both timeless and deeply personal.

The record features the previously released singles “Così Bella (So Beautiful)” (2021) and “Your Own Worst Enemy” (2022), now fully integrated into a rich collection of tracks that showcase Corabi’s commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the album, Corabi is joined by Marti Frederiksen, who adds backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen, providing drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming; Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses) on lead guitar; and Paul Taylor (Winger, Steve Perry) contributing piano, organ, and clavinet. Together, they create an organic, instrument-driven sound built on real performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.

A trip down to memory lane mostly with a nostalgic mood offering intimate everything that is in between acoustic moments to richly layered arrangements rockers: “New Day” is a journey through the heart of rock, infused with soul and blues sensibilities, and inspired by the melodic grandeur of early Boston and Queen.

With a European tour planned for February/March 2026 and additional shows through late spring and summer, Corabi is poised to bring this music directly to fans, delivering both powerful live energy and emotional resonance.

More than just a solo debut, “New Day” is John Corabi’s personal testament to rock’s enduring spirit—an exploration of melody, soul, and authenticity, played with passion and conviction at every turn."

An inspired celebration of classic AOR with a fresh, modern pulse, "Midnight Transmission" marks the official album debut of Transatlantic Radio, a truly international band founded by Victor Brodén, a Swedish-born bassist and producer now based in Los Angeles. Conceived during the isolation of the 2020 lockdown, the project was born out of a desire to bring timeless melodic rock back into the spotlight — with a lineup as global as their sound.

Fronted by powerhouse Swedish vocalist Mattias Osbäck and featuring American guitarist R.J. Ronquillo (known for his work with Ricky Martin, Santana, Stevie Wonder, and Stone Sour), the band blends European sensibility with American fire. The lush keyboards of Fred Kron — composer for Anchorman 2 and High School Musical 2, and longtime member of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! band — add cinematic depth and vintage flair. Behind the kit is Chris Reeve, drummer for Filter and Avril Lavigne, whose dynamic style gives the album its drive and precision. At the center of it all is Brodén himself, anchoring the songs with groove, vision, and a deep understanding of the genre’s melodic soul.

Following a string of well-received singles and video releases, Transatlantic Radio made their live debut at the Malmö Melodic Festival 2024, where their sound and presence confirmed that this is more than just a studio project — it’s a band with heart, muscle, and chemistry.

Musically, "Midnight Transmission" is a love letter to the 80’s giants of the genre — Foreigner, Toto, Danger Danger, Starship — but it’s no nostalgia act. Each track balances polish with punch, fusing massive choruses, slick arrangements, and emotionally charged performances with crisp, contemporary production. From arena-ready anthems to introspective ballads, the album showcases a band fully aware of their influences, yet unafraid to carve their own path forward.

“Midnight Transmission” is more than a debut — it’s a statement: melodic rock is alive, and Transatlantic Radio is here to carry the signal.

That's What You Get (For Falling In Love)

 Robin McAuley (McAuley Schenker Group), Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, The End Machine, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big) — collectively known as BLACK SWAN — are back with their explosive third album, Paralyzed. Following the critical acclaim of their previous releases, the supergroup once again delivers a powerful statement in modern hard rock.

With all songs written and composed by McAuley, Pilson, and Beach, and expertly produced by Pilson, Paralyzed showcases Black Swan at their peak performance — offering a dynamic mix of towering vocals, razor-sharp riffs, and hook-laden melodies. The band’s chemistry continues to shine, elevating their songwriting and musical delivery to new heights.

Tracked at Pilson’s Los Angeles studio, the album reflects the tight-knit synergy among its members. McAuley’s commanding vocals remain as ageless, while the instrumentalists deliver with precision and fire. Much like its predecessors, the new record is a testament to the individual and collective talents of these seasoned musicians.

Far from being a patchwork of their previous bands, BLACK SWAN has firmly carved out its own identity. Paralyzed is fresh, heavy, and melodically rich — a cohesive and compelling album that feels both classic and contemporary.

Building upon the blueprint laid by their debut, Shake the World, the band expands their sonic universe.

The result is a record that not only meets but surpasses expectations, cementing BLACK SWAN as a formidable force in the modern hard rock scene. Whether you’ve followed these legendary musicians since the heyday of '80s rock or you’re just now discovering their magic, Paralyzed is essential listening — a masterclass in melodic hard rock delivered by artists who continue to defy time and expectations.

Perris Records announces the release of HELIX’s new full length album “SCRAP METAL” on January 23rd, 2026. The digital singles release dates are December 12th, 2025 for "Stuck In The 80's" and December 19th, 2025 for "Fast & Furious". This will be the 14th Helix release on Perris Records. Helix just finished touring with Nazareth supporting the “Bending The Rules” tour, Nazareth’s farewell tour in Canada. The SCRAP METAL release features 5 unreleased tracks that retain the “classic” 80’s Helix sound. The remaining 5 tracks are a collection of classic Helix songs from other releases such as Old School, half - Alive & B-Sides. The first single “Stuck In The 80s” features Sean Kelly (Gilby Clarke, Coney Hatch, Lee Aaron) on guitar. Most iconic 80’s bands only tour on their back catalog NOT Helix, they continually record new music staying true to their 80s rock roots and maintaining a legendary status.

Brian Vollmer talks about how SCRAP METAL came together, “SCRAP METAL started out as an afterthought and morphed into a full fledged album. During the 80’s HELIX had written several very good songs that were never ever released. I decided to finish them, and also add a song I had written with Sean Kelly entitled STUCK IN THE 80’S, which ironically, seemed to sum up the project. I chose Aaron Murray and HELIX bassist Daryl Gray to produce, as they had both worked on previous HELIX projects. Aaron is on the cutting edge of where production is going, being the protégé of Danny Broadbeck (Delores O’Reardon) who was the protégé of Jack Richardson (The Guess Who/Alice Cooper/Bob Segar) so it was a fantastic lineage of producers. As for Daryl, he’s not only the music director for HELIX, but he produced OLD SCHOOL, which came out just as COVID hit. Sean Kelly, who I’ve written several albums with over the years, also became heavily involved in the recording of this disc, as did Helix guitar players Mark Chichkan and Chritopher Julke. We even had former HELIX guitarists Kaleb Duck and Brent “The Doctor” Doerner to come in and play on a couple of tracks. As the songs started to take shape, we realized we had something very special here. STUCK IN THE 80’S indeed!”

 Meet NIGHT TERROR...the supergroup rising up from the newly energized ashes of Seven Witches, and the brainchild of acclaimed guitarist, Jack Frost. Frost, who besides being the face of Seven Witches, is best known for playing & touring with national acts such as Aldo Nova, Savatage, Joey Belladonna, Lizzie Borden and many others, put together this monster all-star band of who’s who in metal today. The line-up consists of vocal legend Jason McMaster of Dangerous Toys &Watchtower, drum icon Karl Wilcox of Diamond Head, TANK & Brothers In Arms, bassist extraordinaire, Dennis Hayes of Iced Earth & Seven Witches, and also esteemed specialguest on keys, Eric Ragno of Londen. Night Terror’s album will bring you back to the era of the famed Seven Witches, Passage To The Other Side record, with its screaming Halford - like vocals & riffs of pure, unapologetic metal at its finest. That combined with killer thunderous drums and sick bass runs, will take you on a journey to those past days of the early 80’s, when the New Wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) was coming into its own & about to take over the airwaves of the rock world. Frost’s mission in putting together this newest project with some of the industry’s most quintessential players, was not to reinvent the wheel...but rather to resurrect it. This goal as his driving motive, he got the other guys on board and shared with them his intent to bring back those unforgettable metal days, when leather jackets, banging heads, & the loudest, fastest guitar riffs were a way of life.

After nearly a year away from the spotlight to grieve and reflect, Lonnie returned to songwriting — not as an escape, but as a path to healing. He partnered with acclaimed producer Shawn McGhee, whose credits include work with Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Hellyeah, and Drowning Pool, among many others. Together, they began crafting what would become “Silva” — an emotional tribute and a bold artistic statement. Shawn enlisted an elite lineup of musicians for the project, including:

C.J. Pierce of Drowning Pool(special appearance on "No More" & "I Am Silence")

Stacey David Blades of L.A. Guns(special appearance on "Listen I'm Falling", "Enemy in my mind", "My fist your face", "House of Pain",  "Man of no fear")

Alessandro Paveri of Gemini Syndrome, Semi-Rotted (featuring Jeremy Spencer, former FFDP drummer)

Rob Pierce of FlatBlack (featuring Jason Hook, former FFDP guitarist)

Vocalist Peter Summit of Crashing Wayward

Erik Gloege of Sass Jordan(drums on "Another Day")
Kyle Silva(guitars on "Fade")

Though Lonnie wrote the album in its entirety — from drumbeats to guitar riffs, lyrics to vocal melodies — he made the profound decision to step back from performing. Instead, he entrusted his deeply personal work to this remarkable group of artists, allowing their talents and emotional interpretations to bring the songs to life.

“Silva” is more than just an album — it’s a journey through loss, resilience, and rebirth. Through raw emotion and powerful collaboration, it stands as both a tribute to Kyle Silva and a testament to the enduring power of music.

Youngstown, Ohio's Turbo Lovers are back
with “Working Blue”, a long-awaited blast
of bravado, grit and unapologetic fun. 

If you dig the raw punch of AC/DC, the
glam snarl of KISS, or the streetwise bite
of Danko Jones and Social Distortion, this
three-piece rock 'n' roll party is 

your next obsession.

Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the “concept album.” It is music that arrives inside a book. It’s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums.

In his latest offering, Rik Emmett delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording. Even the story behind these stories explores creativity. (Emmett dreamed of then commissioned a guitar — a one-of-a-kind Telecaster-style guitar — then wrote and recorded with and for it.)

“Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new album from legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer To My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970.

From the rebellious “Anymore” to the endearing “Darlin” and to the defiant “Same Game” Farner’s journey as one of rock’s statesmen is undeniable. “Façade”, “Friends For Forever”, “Real”, “Tiny Fingers” Farner’s journey has always called him towards love and light. He collaborated with Jim Peterik (The Ides of March, Survivor) on the CD-exclusive “Friends Forever”*. Farner also enlisted the songwriter of multi-platinum rocker Mark Slaughter on “Same Game”; Slaughter produced “Closer to My Home”. Farner is co-producer. 

“Real” is the lead single and authentically vintage Farner with an earworm chorus. 

Watch the “Real” visualizer here.

“Mark Farner still has it! The vocals are powerful as usual! ‘Real’ is as real as you can get! He’s letting you know how he feels, and delivers it with ‘real’ honesty and passion,” said Larry Mac, Program Director at KLPX FM in Tucson, Ariz. “And his redux version “I’m your Captain” still shows he has the passion to re-imagine a legendary song and not lose any of its luster! In a word: Mark Farner rocks!”

“These songs are honest and from my heart,” Farner said. “The collaboration with Jim (Peterik) and Mark (Slaughter) came from a place of trust and that makes the whole experience so much more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that and these songs reflect those very human moments that you can’t find creating a song from a computer.”

“‘Closer to My Home’ comes from the idea that love is at the heart of all that I do, and music is my home.”

As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n’ roll icon. 

More than 60 years later – he commands the stage with the same intensity performing epic hits that defined a generation – “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)”, “Bad Time”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Foot Stompin’ Music”, “Heartbreaker”, “Rock & Roll Soul”, “Locomotion”, “Mean Mistreater” and “We’re An American Band”.

“Closer to My Home” is on Righteous Rock Records and is distributed by MVD Entertainment Group and is available via vinyl and CD.

 Maltese born-Swiss musician Marc Storace started his exceptional musical career in 1970, with the Swiss cult progressive band "TEA". TEA released 5 LP's, becoming a very successful band and Marc gained attention for his abilities and his high-pitched raunchy vocal tone. In 1979 Marc became the voice KROKUS, the most successful Hard Rock Band from Switzerland, selling over 15 million copies, touring the world collecting over 2000 shows, winning several Gold and Platinum awards!

At the beginning of 2021 Marc started working on his solo career as STORACE, releasing the first solo CD "Live and Let Live" at the end of 2021, in the middle of the very difficult pandemic situation, but due unfortunately were not possible to properly promote the music live and the album didn’t have the chance to be properly supported. Marc spent 2023 and 2024 to write and produce the new album “Crossfire” that is finally ready. With the songwriting shared between Marc Storace, guitar player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus), Storace managed to deliver a monster piece of Hard Rock.

“Crossfire”, produced by Tommy Henriksen and mixed by the award-winning engineer Olle Romo, features a collection of Hard Rock anthemic songs, with big choruses, great guitars and an awesome rhythm section!

Currently the band is planning an extended tour in support of the new album, following the release of the new album.
