Review: With a title paying homage to London's cultural epicentre for the hippie and mod movements that would serve as precursors to the punk rock revolution, The Carnaby St. EP offers up a seasoned cross-Atlantic meeting of sonic minds between two seminal punk acts on either side of the sea. With legendary UK Subs frontman Charlie Harper and long-time bassist Alvin Gibbs linking up with Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome for a balls-to the-wall blowout celebration of some of the most quintessential cuts from the British Invasion that initially put them on their life-long trajectories, here the mutual veterans tear through faithful yet feral renditions of The Rolling Stones' 'Paint It Black', The Yardbirds' 'For Your Love', and our personal favourite; 'Taxman' by The Beatles. 3 covers, 7 inches and decades' worth of punk rock legacy.
Review: UFO's Showtime captures the raw energy and talent of the band's 2005 live performance, featuring the hard rockers' classic line-up of vocalist Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way, and keyboardist/guitarist Paul Raymond, alongside American guitar virtuoso Vinnie Moore and powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham, this release showcases UFO at their best. Emerging in 1969, UFO quickly established themselves as a force in rock, delivering timeless albums like Phenomenon, Force It and the iconic live record Strangers In The Night. After various line-up changes, the band solidified their return to form with 1993's Walk On Water, and continued to release acclaimed albums like Covenant and Sharks. Showtime shows their enduring influence and live talents, featuring electrifying performances of classic tracks that have defined their career. What makes UFO a legendary act in the rock world.
