Blackcoffee - Monona Lake (2022)


 A French quintet, very far from their homeland, but imagining that they are soaking their feet in the swamps of the bay. Rich in the experience of five musicians from different musical backgrounds, Black Coffee offers the first opus Monona Lake, released at the beginning of the year. Eight original compositions, but clearly based on genre references. Soul, blues, a little Americana, a little rock. If you try a spoonful of black coffee, you really want to add more. And whether it's rich, strong or sweet, we hope to be able to enjoy black coffee soon.

Nazareth – Surviving The Law (2022)


 It is difficult to sum up in few words the history and influence in the history of rock music that an act like Nazareth has had. Having celebrated their 50th Anniversary in 2018 with the release of their 24th studio album, “Tattooed On My Brain”, the long-running UK hard rockers will enter their 54th year of existence in 2022 with the release of their 25th studio album, "Surviving The Law". The line-up for "Surviving The Law" is the same as the previous release, consisting of Jimmy Murrison (longest serving guitarist in the band’s history), Lee Agnew (drummer since Darrel Sweet’s death in 1999), Pete Agnew (founding member, on bass) and vocalist Carl Sentance.

Andy Lindquist - Eighty One (2022)

 


Andy Lindquist has been making music now for 44 years. He started his first band at 13 years old, named, "Stone Soup". Andy wrote his first song at the age of 13 and has written, and produced thousands since.

 

He was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to a lower middle class American family. His father was a WWII Navy Hero and Pearl Harbor survivor. His mother raised 7 children in their tiny little yellow house at 216 Polk St.

Andy started playing trumpet at the age of 9. He loved Louis Armstrong and Herb Albert. Andy went on to purchase his first guitar at 13. All the way from "Stone Soup" to his current 43 solo records, he's covered quite a bit of territory in his 44 years as a musician.

Andy is not without his hardships. Some 24 years ago he was diagnosed with a rare disease called Behcet's. He married his wife April in the hospital 24 years ago. They weren't sure of Andy would make it. The diagnosis was grim and daunting to say the least.

Andy went on to suffer a series of three very serious strokes. Each time losing his ability to play his guitar and his other instruments. Andy says "Those were dark days indeed. I had to do a lot of soul searching to figure out who I was beyond Andy, the performer and the writer. I literally had to reteach myself how to play."

 

Andy not only recovered, he triumphed. Most of his 43 records have been written and recorded since his last stroke in 2004. Andy says "When I was trying to bring my brain back to be on speaking terms with my hands, I gained more as I slowly recovered. I am living proof that music can heal all wounds." Since the Behcet's Disease is associated with chronic pain, Lindquist chooses to use making music as a holistic answer to killing pain. "I've find that when I am in the middle of creating, writing, playing and singing, the last thing I am thinking about is pain. I float along with music, and it helps me to cope with this endless pain cycle"

Andy moved to the Minneapolis in 1983. He played with many bands in the Twin Cities. From "Night Train" to "Fat City" to "Big Logic". In 2000 Andy moved to Seattle to take a position as "Heart's" guitar player. Andy played with many Seattle acts in his 2 years of residency in the Emerald city. After being hired by Heart, Andy suffered another stroke. "I nearly lost my mind during that time! I had worked so hard at my craft, and to get such and opportunity to play with an amazing act, then to have it taken away by fates fickle hand. nearly destroyed me completely."

The Billy Crawford Band - The Shape I'm In (2022)

This CD has 12 songs ranging from blues to rock. We are very proud of this record and it shows throughout the CD. Blues guitar may be associated with Mississippi, Texas and Chicago, but the Mid-South has a lot to say about it. The city of Bristol, located right on the border of Tennessee and Virginia, claims to be the birthplace of country music. But one of his own sons makes a huge blues noise. The common denominator in all of this is Billy Crawford, who grew up playing bass in church and later developed an early hard rock pedigree on electric guitar. But over the past three decades, he's turned his six-string tuning towards the blues.

Daxx & Roxane - Drop (2022)


 

Daxx & Roxane are a ‘full-throttle’ 4 piece rock n’ roll band originating from Switzerland, now based in London (UK).


Citing Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Mötley Crüe as key influences, it’s no wonder that Kerrang! Magazine has hailed them as “tooth-and-nail, testosterone-powered rock.”. They believe in: “Rock ’n’ Roll is all about energy. All about creating an adrenaline rush”
