THE MIGHTY RA – ALL SECRETS KNOWN (White Knight Records)
Suddenly we take a sharp and unexpected detour into Hawkwind or Gong territory for Will We Ever Know, which manages to cram in a delightful (and self-referencing) chorus with more zooming space noises and quirky curlicues of whimsical space-operatic riffery than you could shake a flying teapot at. It's perhaps a stretch to use the..

MONTROSE – I Got The Fire: Complete Recordings 1973-1976 (HNE/Cherry Red)
Rock Candy, delivered as a sort of Zeppelin-ish swagger, has lyrics so dumbed-down they could be comprehensively analysed by a class of hamsters, but it doesn't matter a jot ... [The whole debut album] is music stripped down to its bare, teenage, acne-ridden, hard-rocking essentials, and it never fails to work. Sometimes you get the..
HARDWICKE CIRCUS – AT HER MAJESTY’S PLEASURE (Alternative Facts Records)
Now, this is rather an interesting one and no mistake. I must confess that Cumbrian band Hardwicke Circus were a new name to me, but the premise of this live album is a quite unusual one. Live albums may be a common occurrence, but less so when they are recorded in a prison. Outside of..
