Venice Beach, California’s purveyors of Psychedelic Violence, The Shrine have joined forces with legendary metal and hard rock label, Century Media.

_{The Gasoline Outlaws appeared on the local music scene only a few months ago but quickly established themselves as one of the best rock bands around and built-up a loyal fan-base in the process. Whilst the band may be new, the band members will be well known to anyone who has followed the local scene for any period of time and is familiar with Black Freeway, Pay*ola, Yellow Sam, Last Known Addiction, Sweet Taste etc. With the release of their excellent debut album “No Rules, No Laws, No Regrets” on 22nd June the band, in my humble opinion, secure their position amongst the best in what is already a hugely impressive and talented local rock scene. “No Rules, No Laws, No Regrets” will no doubt appear in many people’s lists of best albums of 2015.}

_{I spoke to brothers Matt and Chris Fitzsimons about the band and the new album and this interview was broadcast on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 19th June along with a few tracks from the album. The Show can now be heard on our MixCloud site -}

_{French rockers Dygitals released the album “Dynamite” in Europe on 21st May via Mausoleum Records. I’ve already played a couple of tracks from the album on the Friday NI Rocks Show over the past few weeks and should really have posted a recommendation before now, but better late than never!! Dygitals originally formed in 1984, building a solid fan-base in France and touring through the USA in 1988/89 before calling it a day in 1990. After short-lived reunions in 2003 and 2005, both of which saw the release of new albums, the band reformed in 2009 and released another album in 2012.}
