_{This month the Friday NI Rocks Show included interviews with Bobby Barth from Axe and Rob De Luca from Spread Eagle. I also posted an e-mail interview with Eighteenth Hour.}

_{In 1992, Memphis band Roxy Blue released their debut album “Want Some?” on Geffen Records. Had it been released a few years earlier it would have no doubt been hugely successful, but the rock scene was changing and the band split not long after. Twenty seven years later, Roxy Blue is back, releasing a self-titled album via Frontiers Music on 9th August. I had the opportunity to speak to lead singer Todd Poole via Skype on 28th August. We chatted about Roxy Blue and the new album, as well as his involvement with the bands Saliva and 714.}

_{Swedish band Rockett Love released their second album. “Greetings from Rocketland”, through AOR Heaven on 30th August. The band formed in 2015 and released their debut album in 2017. The new album was produced by Erik Mårtensson from Eclipse & WET. I included the track “Take Me Home” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 30th August.}
