This almost overwhelming rollercoaster ride of emotions was brought to us by TuskaLive.
The last weekend of October, Apulanta played two glorious shows at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland in front of a huge crowd of fans, and joined by Lahtis Sinfonia Orchestra.

Smash Into Pieces were back in Finland a while back, and we got to see their show at Tampere’s Pakkahuone, where they played in front of a full house alongside Cyan Kicks. A wonderful night of good music and atmosphere, hosted by Live Nation Finland.
Time to celebrate 35 years of psychedelic stoner rock: we caught MONSTER MAGNET at one of their stops on their anniversary tour, bringing us together with support DAILY THOMPSON a night full of psychedelic infused Stoner-Rock at LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart, Germany! And they showed that they’re still an excellent live band and still the benchmark against which established and upcoming bands must measure themselves.

Sami Yaffa has worn multiple hats in various different bands such as Hanoi Rocks, Pelle Miljoona OY, New York Dolls, The Hellacopters, just to name a few but now in his 60s he is still going stronger than ever! This legendary bassist just released his second solo album in his illustrious career titled “Satan’s Helpers, Warlazer Eyes & The Money Pig Circus” and brought the album in its entirety to a packed Tavastia in Helsinki!
John J. Presley proved at Backstage in Munich that darkness can be beautiful with his blues rock project, what turned out to be a quite intimate, almost private show for those who came out to enjoy the music!

After being on my radar for a while Dampf have outdone themself with their new album ‘No Angels Alive’ that was released on 23 of August via Silver Lining Music. This album is extremely catchy and almost all songs live rent free in my head after a couple of listens.
Blink-182’s new album ‘One More Time’ brings you straightforward power chords, clean vocals and pure punk rock. Varying between different paces and energies, this will be youth sentiment taking you back a couple of decades for many people among us. Released via Columbia Records!
Black Stone Cherry have their eighth studio album, ‘Screamin’ At The Sky’, set for release on Friday 29th September via Mascot Records. After a rather not so hard and heavy styled album, we are happy to say that they’re back with 12 hard, heavy, blues-rock infused songs, the BSC we all fell in love with in the past!
Guess who’s back? Danko Jones are releasing their 11th full-length album ‘Electric Sounds’ this Friday via AFM Records, and deliver an album that’s bound to be a classic in the pantheon of modern rock… the typical Danko Jones sound with a higher speed, and more grooves than before, proving that after over a quarter of a century they still kick ass. Highly recommended!
There are so many emotions going through the songs from The New Roses, and most of it is determined by the first guitar note that you hear. Maybe that’s why this album is called ‘Sweet Poison’; because the same memory can make you smile, tear up, or both at the same time. That’s what makes me exited every time this band releases a new album; You know you’re going to be in for something that makes you get a smile on your face. Released via Napalm Records!
‘Rise’ is a pretty average album. It’s been executed fine, but it can’t hold up to the pretty high standard The Rasmus has set in the past. The songs are very catchy but not that much more. That “something” that made The Rasmus great is just mostly missing on this record. Out since today via Playground Music, what do you think of it?
Sweden’s finest all-female hard rock band and #1 rock export Thundermother have released their newest album ‘Black and Gold’ via AFM Records and it’s yet again filled with heartfelt and solid rock songs that are primed to take over the world!
