ASH GRUNWALD – HOT MAMA VIBES

Ash Grunwald's fifth studio album, “Hot Mama Vibes”, is neck-deep in the technological swamp of the 21st Century. It's also the most primal concoction of elemental junkyard soul to stomp through your speakers this year. Ash, now a 10-year veteran of live stages from Byron Bay Bluesfest to the Montreux Jazz Festival. Recorded in two states, then fine-tuned by email and every other kind of digital voodoo going, “Hot Mama Vibes” is a radical combination of this kind of damn-the-torpedoes bravado and painstaking collaborative tweaking with a close pool of maverick compadres.

ENDLESS BOOGIE – FULL HOUSE HEAD

Fronted by enigmatically grizzled vocalist and guitarist Paul Major and built on an unshakable blue-collar foundation comprising Jesper Eklow, Mark Ohe, and Harry Druzd, Endless Boogie was formed on the blood and sweat of classic rock workmen. Guzzled by hard livin’ acolytes and shunned by those fearing provocation of the dusty party gods of yore, Endless Boogie cling to rock ’n’ roll life as if it were life itself. Once a hobby, now becoming the powerhouse they were meant to be the Boogie now release “Full House Head”.

MILES AWAY – ENDLESS ROADS

The culmination of eight years of hard work, heartache and good times, “Endless Roads” is the sound of a passionate, road-hardened band at the height of their powers. Written throughout 2009, “Endless Roads” was recorded in New York with producer Dean Baltulonis (Sick Of It All, American Nightmare, The Hold Steady), whose insider knowledge of hardcore coupled with supreme sound-pulling skills brought out the very best in Miles Away’s old school meets-new school sound.
