Forwardman – Twenty-Six

Posted on May 3, 2014 by Tim Hall

“Alternative rock” is a bit of an unfortunate descriptive term that conjures images of all manner of potential horrors and evil, but this song from Helsinki’s Sakari Viittala is worth a listen. It’s released in May 16th, and an album will follow in the autumn.

Nitro – Freight Train

Posted on April 27, 2014 by Tim Hall

The Guardian asked for nominations for worst music videos, so I suggested this.

Yes I know finding bad examples of 1980s hair-metal is like shooting fish in a barrel; it’s a genre that hasn’t aged well with few acts reaching the Sturgeon threshold. But this one is quite exceptional. The O-gauge steam train at the beginning is bad enough, but wait for the moment two and a half minutes in where guitarist Michael Angelo Batio goes the full Nigel Tufnel and then some.

Some people blame Nirvana for killing off the Rock Guitar Solo. But on the evidence of this I think the likes of Michael Angelo Batio have a lot to answer for.

This lot were on of the highlights of Friday of HRH Prog, some incredible musicianship although they’re all ridiculously young. This starts slowly, but goes completely bonkers about two minutes in.
