“Sentience” is the latest EP to be released by English band Skarlett Riot and follows on from “We Are The Brave” which I posted a recommendation for in February 2015. “Sentience” is released on 2nd May. There are a lot of young rock bands out there; all doing their own style of rock music, and all with their own predominantly younger (than me) fan base. There are a lot of those younger bands that I find trouble connecting with musically, but there are a lot of others that I really like. Skarlett Riot and their brand of rock definitely fall into that second category and I’ve been a fan since first hearing them. Should they ever make their way over to Belfast you’ll find me at the gig – possibly standing off to the side or at the back, but definitely enjoying the experience!
NWOBHM legends Diamond Head recently released their first album since 2007. The self-titled album was released through Dissonance Productions on 22nd April. Guitarist Brian Tatler was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show on the same day - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/2575-ni-rocks-interview-with-brian-tatler-of-diamond-head.html - and we chatted about the new album and played three tracks from it. Diamond Head play a number of gigs and festivals before returning to Belfast in September to play a gig in Voodoo. There are also gigs in Dublin and Limerick.
