Judging by the artwork on Skull Daze's debut full-length release a few of the members blow their paychecks on make-up and hair gel. While the photo of the band on their self-titled CD may conjure up sounds of pop-rock bands like Poison or Reckless Love, nothing could be further from the truth. These Italian rockers are much heavier than your typical glammed-up rockers, falling somewhere between Crashdiet and the Killer Dwarfs.

The Lizards are back with their first new album of original material since 2006 and while it has been a long wait, after giving it a few spins I can say it is well worth the wait.

Saints & Sinners is a 1992 album, released by the Canadian glam metal band of the same name. "Walk That Walk", "We Belong" and "Takin' My Chances" were released as singles. The album was produced by Aldo Nova.

Vains of Jenna formed in Falkenberg Sweden in 2005. By the summer of 2006, the band had relocated to Hollywood CA and self-released their full length debut Lit Up Let Down. A month later Bam Margera, professional skateboarder and star of the MTV hit show Viva La Bam, signed them to his Filthy Note label and reissued the disc in the Fall. To date, the debut has sold roughly 15K copies.

As the title indicates, Facemelter--the anticipated new recording from Y&T is a hard rockin', song-oriented album that lives up to its name: it captures the band's raw energy and tightness that they've become known for. Featuring heavy grooves, powerful guitars, and strong melodies, the band shows their versatility, delivering a range of high-energy rockers, mid-tempo head-bangers, modern rock grooves, majestic ballads, and signature Y&T rock anthems. To mark the return, the band engaged John Taylor Dismukes--the same artist who designed covers for Y&T's classic albums Mean Streak, Black Tiger, and In Rock We Trust--to create the amazing art of Facemelter. Face-melting is a term that has been with Y&T since the mid-'70s, when a rabid fan ran backstage and told the band--you melted my face--which inspired the group's first publishing company: Facemelting Music. If you haven't yet taken Y&T's new album for a ride, grab your leathers, strap yourself in, and prepare to have your face melted.

'Raining Rock' is so sexy that if you listen to it in its entirety you'll end up pregnant. After the debut 'Get Your Hands Dirty' released by those hard rocking Londoners kicked the critics in the balls and put Jettblack firmly on the map, 'Raining Rock' is fucking our ear canals twice over as it's louder, heavier and sexier than ever.

'Jettblack' is a glam hard rock band from the UK and 'Get your hands dirty' is their second album. I first became aware of the group as they opened for 'Reckless love' during their latest 2010 UK tour. Frankly I was really looking forward to this release since. Having reviewed a few UK bands of this genre, I have to agree that 'Jettblack' is one of those cases where everything seems to fall into place: Great compositions, powerful performances, great looks, tons of style and of course awesome front cover.
