Filip Dahl – I Still See You

Filip Dahl is a Norwegian composer and multi-instrumentalist, who actually began his career back in the 70s. However, in the past few years, he decided to take on a solo project, and since then has non-stopped creating amazing music.

Starting off with a brilliant guitar solo, we are straight away engrossed within the track! The music just mesmerising us, and for the short time period, we actually feel like we are in another world!

Rich Kid Express – Under The Purple Lights

Rich Kid Express have just released their brand-new EP, “Under The Purple Lights,” and I must say it is incredible.

But before we get onto that, let’s have a little look at who Rich Kid Express is. Well to answer that one, Rich Kid Express is the rock project of the multi-instrumentalist Rob Richardson. He mixes different styles, including 70s glam rock and 80s hard rock, and takes heavy inspiration from artists such as, KISS, AC/DC, W.A.S.P, and Spinal Tap.

So, let’s get into this EP, “Under The Purple Lights” was released last month and it consists of five different tracks.

Starting off with “U Never….” we are welcomed with an upbeat, energetic rock track! Beginning with an incredible drum beat, and awesome guitars, we find ourselves instantly hooked! Shortly after, The Rich Kid Express joins in with his brilliant vocals! His voice is quite sharp and very raw, and I just love it.

My personal favourite track of the album is the second track, “Hard Time Lady.” This one has some clear 80s rock inspiration, and everything about it is amazing! It is incredibly catchy, and I just cannot help but listen to this song on repeat all day long.

The final song, “The Dotted Line” is the perfect end to this collection, however it without a doubt leaves you wanting more! This one is another upbeat, rock tune, and you just cannot fault it.

Be sure to go and give the incredible soloist a listen to, and he will, without a doubt, blow you away with his talent!

9 O’Clock Nasty – Culture War 23

9 O’Clock Nasty are an incredible trio (Pete, Ted and Sydd), who create some exceptional music. Hailing from Leicester, the trio have returned with their brand-new album, “Culture War 23”.

“Culture War 23” was released on September 30th, and this rock album is certainly not one that you want to miss. This album consists of 13 incredible tracks, kicking off with, “Too Cool”. This one is an upbeat, groovy rock track that will certainly get you off of your feet. From the second this track began, I was instantly hooked. The music is very rocky, and there is no denying that all the instrumentalists are immensely talented, and the vocals are just brilliant.

The third tune, “Make Your Ghost,” is another upbeat, catchy track and I just cannot fault them. This one you will certainly find yourself singing along to it, whilst dancing along to the music. 9 O’Clock Nasty are undoubtedly incredibly talented.

My personal favourite track is “The Gastronaut.” This one is slightly more relaxed, and we really get to witness the artist’s incredible vocals.

Another track that really caught my eye is, “Rise Up.” This one is very different from the other tracks on the album, and I think that is what makes it so amazing. Being more mellow, and slower, we experience a more relaxed environment. This is one that you can sing your heart out to.

The final track, “Bird Of Happiness” is a collaboration between 9 O’Clock Nasty and Meg Cratty and there is no denying that it is an amazing end the album. This track leaves you wanting more, but it also brings joy and happiness. All the vocalists are so talented, and I just cannot praise them enough.

So be sure to give “Culture War 23” a little listen to now, and you will love it within seconds!
