Bangalore Choir – All Or Nothing – The Complete Studio Albums Collection (Global Rock Records)
When considering a list of all the known soft metal, melodic metal and hair metal bands, it’s possible the name Bangalore Choir may not bob to the top.

THE STEVE GIBBONS GAND – Rollin’: The Albums 1976-1978 (Esoteric / Cherry Red)
The Steve Gibbons Band burned brightly if briefly before dipping below the radar of the public consciousness, and that's a great shame. Happily, they are back here, captured in their prime and, at least on these discs, still Rollin' On. You could do a lot worse than check this out. Quite often box sets like..

Actually, Komodor is a retro rock band from Brittany in France with Nasty..
