Albums of the Month

Coco Montoya

COCO MONTOYA Hard Truth (Alligator Records)
"It’s rare for an artist in the middle of his career to push himself up to another level, but ‘Hard Truth’ does precisely that ... an album that will surely be contender for one of the best blues-rock releases of the year."  (Pete Feenstra)

BIG WOLF BAND A Rebel's Story (Big Wolf Records)
"There’s barely a dull moment here ... a quality blues-rock album that will surely cement Big Wolf Band in the vanguard of the current blues-rock scene."   (Pete Feenstra)

DRAGONFORCE Reaching Into Infinity (earMUSIC)
'Dragonforce continue to go from strength to strength and with the heavier thrash tracks creeping in they are sounding better than ever."
(Dave Wilson)

"It may be the most focused, and certainly the most tuneful, Todd album for a decade..."  (David Randall)

Our singer songwriter specialist, Pete has a weakness for anything female-fronted.  If it's rootsy and rocky  so much the better.
