Ace Frehley Spaceman Album Review




Ace Frehley latest album Spaceman came out on the 40th anniversary of his 1978 solo album, and he is back on track for sure. This record has an Old school feel with a nice mixture of modern digital as well. Production wise it's great. The album cover itself is so cool, and only Ace Frehley could look cool in that bell bottomed space suit thing he's wearing.


The first tune Without You I'm Nothing m, cowrittwn with his old pal Gene Simmons making a guest appearance on this track as well. A great funky almost groovy bass line builds up to an awesome anthem. It's got a fantastic hook, fantastic riffs, and it's honest. It's Aces thank you to both music and his fans. But yet it's a great fucking song that isn't corny. The solo gives me chills. It's an awesome introduction to the album, it hits you like a kick to the guts.
Rockin With The Boys is a tune just askin your ol lady to chill, he's just rockin with his band. Its a great song, and its just also so full of attitude. Ace truly is a fantastic songwriter, and his guitar playing is obviously never questioned, and his influence on many people is undeniable. His voice is strong and has aged like fine wine. Your Wish Is My Command is another Co write with Gene and he appears on it as well. It's a spacey floaty like jammin rock tune with an element of stoner vibes in a way. Reminsicnet of the Stones and Steve Miller band.
Bronx Boy is an ass kicking rock n roll song with an old school ace riff and many of his classic guitar fills with a song about his upbringing in the Bronx, so full of attitude. This song kicks serious ass. The solo is orgasmic. Damn Ace, you still got it my man.
Pursuit of Rock N Roll is about how anybody in bands, any music lovers, and all of us from journalists to promoters. We want nothing but our life, liberty, and the pursuit of rock n roll.
It's got a great riff and groove, giving a shout out to classic bands that influenced Ace and most of us directly or indirectly. Haters can hate, but this record is way better than anything kiss has done since 1987.


His cover of Eddie Money's I Wanna Go Back is as he says in interviews ‘Aceafied it’, it's a great ballad that isn't a weep ballad, but it can't help but bring up child memories and you get choked up for a second but it's a celebration and just done so well. It's sublime. And it still rocks.
Mission To Mars is the most ass kicking badass spacey song on the album. The omega baby. Holy shit. It's this records Rocket Ride. Almost goes into punk territory it's so brash. It's a real banger. With a intergalactic solo that melts your face immediately. Woo, I need a cigarette after that one.
Get Off My Back is another great jam about someone being overly attached or annoyingly stalkerish. We've all been there. It's got a great hook, it's a chilled out tune. This album flows beautifully.
The Final track, the instrumental Quantum Flux is a great rockin spacey instrumental that just feels like your jamming flying through space what can I say? This entire album is fantastic. A great rock n roll record. We love ya Ace.

Sadartha Growth EP Review

Sadartha's third release is the ep Growth. With slightly better production than the last two albums, the band drops most of the hardcore punk influences going for a pure grunge sound. Opening track Emptifull has a sweet groove in the verse and explodes on the chorus. The band seems to have found their footing hear. Jangly muddy guitars, pulsating bass, and frantic but precise drums. Is it 1992 again? Aconitum starts with a watery sounding guitar riff. So slow and vibey. This is like Nirvana's Nevermind meets Alice In Chain's Jar Of Flies. So dark, so sublime.  Eclipsing Binaries sounds upbeat.a lazy day with a joint in the sun with nothing to do is what comes to mind. Really good song. Nice melodies. These dudes are definitely on the rise and just get better. Sacred Scorcher has such an awesome groove. Hearing a little Mudhoney influence here. Then the guitars distort and it's a train barrelling down the tracks at 110 mph on fire. It's fucking great.  ...

Shadow Show Silhouettes Review

Shadow Show is a Psychedelic power trio from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Fantastic, cosmic music with spacey vocal harmonies. Their debut album Silhouettes is a fine example of very good modern psych, with ten solid tracks. So tight it sounds and feels loose. The album starts off with the single and video Charades, somewhere between a rockin Byrd’s meets mid 60’s Beatles vibe with a bit of Syd Barrett Pink Floyd and that slight punk sneer. Very catchy, very trippy, very groovy. Contessa has a 60s meets 90s grunge kinda vibe to it, and has backing vocals akin to the Monkees, nice touch. These girls don’t sound like anyone else around, and best of all, the guitar is so fuzzy! Green Stone is one of the stronger songs on the album, going into some Rolling Stones and Yardbirds type vibes, total mid 60s psychedelia. The Alchemist is like Uncle Acid without the distortion and sped up a bit. A layer of acoustic guitar and just an incredible hazy vibe like the inside of an enchanted fores...

Dead Witches-Ouija (2017) review

Dead Witches are an amazing, crushingly heavy, psychedelic, stoner doom band. With legend drummer Mark Greening(Ex Electric Wizard, With The Dead,  Ramessess) along with vocalist Virginia Monti(Psychedelic Witchcraft), Carl Geary on bass, and Greg Elk on guitar, sadly Elk passed away in 2016. The album is absolutely superb, definitely one of the best records of the year. The production is amazing, the songs are great, and the fucking riffs are orgasms for the ears. The album starts off with the sound of rain, and a storm, and a haunting bass riff, followed with some organ and guitar feedback, setting a very dark mood. and moves into the song Dead, which starts off with a fantastic, fuzzy riff, and the drums kick in, and this song rides on the groove of this riff, building and building, as Virginia opens her beautiful, haunting vocals, its very powerful. It sucks you into the dark vortex to hell, dragging you numbed from dopesmoke. How metal is that? It's nice to hear Mark bashin...
