Steelhouse Festival

UNRIVALLED FESTIVAL COVERAGE IN 2016!

Our reviewers/ photographers have excelled this year in covering over 15 Festival events throughout the summer including shows in the USA and France.

We still have to add a couple of later summer events - Watchet Festival and Cambridge Rock - both will complete our most comprehensive ever festival coverage.

You can remember what Summer 2016 was all about in our gig reviews section!

Steve Rothery, Marillion

STEVE ROTHERY CHATS TO GRTR! AHEAD OF ALBUM RELEASE AND TOUR DATES

Marillion release their eighteenth studio album this month and start a USA tour in late-October.  UK dates commence 27 November.

Get Ready to ROCK! Radio recently caught up with the band's longest serving member, guitarist Steve Rothery, and this forms the basis of a one-hour special this Sunday 18 September at 22:00 GMT.

Special guests on the station in August have included Judie Tzuke (subject of a two-part feature), Sari Schorr (currently on tour in the UK) and Laurence Jones (touring in November).

Most features can be heard again via a dedicated Mixcloud page.

Albums of the Month

Kissin' Dynamite

KISSIN' DYNAMITE Generation Goodbye (AFM Records)
...well played, well produced with well written, extremely catchy (but a little quirky) tunes...These guys don't seem to know how to write a bad song! Kissin' Dynamite deserve to be huge but in this day and age, who knows?  (Phil Berisford)


Sari Schorr

SARI SCHORR A Force Of Nature (Manhaton)
...a slice of polished blues-rock with just enough lightning in the bottle to crossover from blues to rock fans...This is an excellent album that will surely kick start a blossoming career.  (Pete Feenstra)


Evergrey

EVERGREY The Storm Within (AFM Records)
Evergrey are truly back on top of their game with one of their finest albums to date, I can't recommend this one highly enough. (Jason Ritchie)


Sinnergod

SINNERGOD Burn (indie)
To be honest it's really refreshing hearing a young band who are prepared to break out of the now predictable Led Zeppelin template...This is one of the finest, most consistent, independent releases I've heard this year and deserves to be huge.  (David Randall)
