FESTIVAL SEASON STARTS WITH BEARDED THEORY

In recent years, Get Ready to ROCK! has provided exceptional festival coverage and this year we kick started our seasonal reportage with Bearded Theory, reviewed by the effusive Hollie Latham.

Albums of the Month

The Sharpeez

THE SHARPEEZ Wild One (3MS Music)
"...
there isn’t a weak track on here, while their very best efforts such as ‘Automatic Mode’, ‘Losing Hand’, and ‘Heat Of The Night’ give this album every right to be regarded as one of the best R&B albums of the year so far." (Pete Feenstra)


Spock's Beard

SPOCK'S BEARD Noise Floor  (Inside Out)
"...an album full of wonderful music to be enjoyed again and again. They wanted to go for a more melodic feel on the songs and it is job done. This album will be featuring on the year end ‘Best Of’ lists."  (Jason Ritchie)


Andy Susemihl

ANDY SUSEMIHL Elevation (SM Noise Records)
"This is an album that grabs you from the start and engages until the last note. It must surely “elevate” Susemihl amongst his peers, and – frankly - not before time.." (David Randall)


Ted & Majella

TED & MAJELLA Better Together   (Turneround Music)
"...one of 2018′s finer albums, so far...There’s a consistency to this album, and true craftsmanship, frequently lacking in these days of instant gratification. In fact, the laid back, unhurried feel allows the listener both reflection and restoration."  (David Randall)


My Indigo

MY INDIGO My Indigo (MVKA)
" ten, 3-4 minute, tracks of pure [adult orientated] pop perfection...The sound of summer, for sure" (
Pete Whalley)
