“Interceptor” is the latest offering from German hard rockers Mad Max, following on from the comeback album “Another Night of Passion” released last year. That album marked the 25th anniversary of the release of the album “Night of Passion” in 1987 and saw the original line-up getting back together. The album is released by Steamhammer / SPV in Germany on 25th October, in the rest of Europe on 28th October and in North America on 5th November. In the press release provided by Work Hard PR the band describe the album as “full throttle from start to finish” and I would have to agree with that statement and their claim that “it rocks”!! The album is full of great guitar driven rock tracks and definitely one worth checking out.

FOR Christ's Sake are a band that are signed to a label, have a global distribution deal and yet they feel that they are frozen out sometimes in Northern Ireland: is it because they are Christians?

THE Diamond Rock Bar in Ahoghill is said to have a family feel to it, despite it being a rock venue that blazes out massive tunes from bands far and wide - and when Trucker Diablo kicked off their Trucktober tour lead singer/guitarist Tom Harte even had his mother present.
