“Alien Architect” is the latest album from North Carolina band Another Lost Year and is released on 12th August via the EMP Label (headed by Megadeth’s David Ellefson). You may have heard me play tracks from the band’s debut album “Better Days” on the NI Rocks Shows over the last few years, particularly the track “War On The Inside”. Another Lost Year have now followed up with a new powerful rock album, which for me at least surpasses that debut album. The track “Wolves” was included on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 26th July.

The Dead Daisies release their third album, entitled "Make Some Noise”, on 5th August and as far as I’m concerned it’s easily their best to date. Having had a chance to listen to the album before the band’s recent gig in Belfast, I was already hugely impressed, and this was only reinforced by the live performances. I’ve played “Long Way To Go” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 24th June and 15th July and “Song and a Prayer” on 29th July. The album is released by Spitfire Music / SPV on 5th August.

“Last Tiger” is the fourth album from English band Change of Heart since their debut album back in 1998. More than ten years separate the release of “Last Tiger” by Escape Music on 22nd July and the previous album “Truth or Dare” in 2005. Founding member Alan Clark, who is the lead vocalist, guitarist and song-writer, has resurrected the band and the new album is definitely worth checking-out. The 11 tracks deliver great melodic hard rock vocals and plenty of guitar solos. I played the track “Rise To The Challenge” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th July.
