_{Swedish band Adrenaline Rush released their self-titled debut album through Frontiers Records on 22nd August (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/1625-ni-rocks-recommends-qadrenaline-rushq-by-adrenaline-rush.html ). The band consists of Tave Wanning on vocals, Ludvig Turner and Alexander Hagman on guitars, Soufia Ma’Aoui on bass and Marcus Johansson on drums. Erik Martensson from W.E.T. has been heavily involved in the album from the outset.}

_{Tave certainly has the image for leading a band and she has the vocals to match, having been involved in the music business since she was 8 years old. I spoke to Tave via Skype on 15th September and recorded a short interview which was broadcast on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 19th September. The show also features 3 tracks from the Adrenaline Rush album – and a couple by some of her favourite artists.}

REGULAR readers will know that earlier this year we dubbed it the "Summer of Metal" given the plethora of appearances in Norn Iron by international and national acts - a big debt of appreciation owed by fans to all the promoters is due.


But as temperatures reach unfeasibly high levels for mid-September the 'Summer of Metal' rolls

_{Music aficionados (and fans of the bands of course) will know Nick Oliveri as the bass player from Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age and Dwarves (to name a few). Even if the name Nick Oliveri isn’t instantly recognizable to you however, there’s a fairly good chance that you might recognise him from one of the Queens of the Stone Age videos from around 2002. Oliveri has kept himself rather busy since splitting from QOTSA in 2004 and has just released a solo album entitled “Leave Me Alone”. The album was released through Schnitzel Records on 15th September.}
