Jyrojets Review

Date of Event:

Excerpt: Highland hi-flyers the Jyrojets release their new single, a lush recording of the fab "Hollywood, Hold On", on 10th September and I hope it brings them even more exposure and plaudits on their journey skyward. The constant factor of the Jyrojets is their strong sense of melody combined with a delivery which perfectly fits the song. Hollywood, Hold On demonstrates these qualities in spade loads ...Read More

EP Review: Sons O' the Soil

Date of Event:

Excerpt: I must admit Sons O' The Soil aren't a band I had heard of before. So I was intrigued to find out a little more about them. The group have already been in Belfast this year and with a trip to France on the cards (not to mention appearances at two high profile Scottish festivals) you could say one reason they weren't overly familiar to me, is the fact they have a wider reaching appeal than ...Read More

Estrella EP Review by Dead Earnest

Date of Event:

Excerpt: Debut 5-tracker from Aberdeen band with a flair for eighties influenced rock and metal, and if you think that's a musical scene that should not be resurrected, then you've clearly not heard this band, for this takes that whole style and makes it into something exactly the same but so fresh sounding. Every one of the 5 tracks on here is the sound of commercial metal at the peak it was back in ...Read More

Estrella EP Review by The Daily Record

Date of Event:

Excerpt: "This is Classic Eighties Rock but before you run to the hills, this isn't The Darkness but an Aberdeen band carved from granite, not soft southern chalk. Taking their blueprint from Guns 'N' Roses, this five-track is fun without being camp. She's Got It has a great chorus, guitar solo and lyrics. Woman's Touch has a down-tempo feel of AC/DC". www.estrella-rocks.com Rick Fulton ...Read More
