NI ROCKS Interview with CLIFFORD HOAD from KINGS OF THE SUN (Dec 2016)

Published: Wednesday, 21 December 2016 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 7789

Just over 6 years ago I posted an interview that I’d done via e-mail with Clifford Hoad from Kings of the Sun (and The Rich And Famous). That was the first interview that I’d done for Rock Radio NI and I’d decided to do something with Clifford because I’d been a fan of both bands for some time, had befriended him on social media and knew there was a lot we could talk about.

There has certainly been a lot going on since then and Clifford Hoad’s Kings of the Sun recently released “Razed on Rock”, their second album in three years. Having done another e-mail interview in 2013, I decided we needed to get something recorded to broadcast on the Show. I spoke by phone with Clifford at his home in Australia on 20th December and chatted for about an hour. You can hear about 45 minutes of that conversation on the Friday NI Rocks Show that is broadcast on 23rd December (at 9pm UK time), along with 4 tracks from the new album. It’s the longest interview I’ve broadcast, but we had a lot to talk about and it was very much a relaxed chat about a range of things rather than an interview constrained by time limits.

 

The Show can now be heard on our MixCloud page - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/interview-with-clifford-hoad-from-kings-of-the-sun-on-the-friday-ni-rocks-show-23rd-dec-2016/

NI ROCKS Recommends "Vendetta" by NITERAIN

Published: Tuesday, 20 December 2016 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 4338

Norwegian band NiteRain released their second album, entitled “Vendetta”, on 2nd December.  If you’re into sleazy, hard rock music and have a taste for bands from the current day delivering that 80’s sleaze / glam sound, then this is a band you’ll want to check out. I’m certainly not a mega sleaze / glam rock fan, but NiteRain wouldn’t be at the extreme edge of that genre either and there is plenty I like about their new album. The track “Lost and Wasted” is included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd December.

NI ROCKS Recommends "Silhouette" by WHITE WIDDOW

Published: Monday, 19 December 2016 00:00 | Written by NI ROCKS | Print | Hits: 4590

“Silhouette” is the fourth album from Australian band White Widdow and it was released on 25 November via AOR Heaven. This is definitely one for those who love that 80’s AOR sound. As I’ve said many times, that genre can be a bit hit or miss with me generally, but there is plenty on this record that I like and it definitely deserves a recommendation. I played the opening track “Stranded” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 9th December.
