_{Aerosmith – America’s Greatest Rock ‘N’ Roll Band – have today announced a mammoth European tour for next year. Fresh from a run of hugely successful South American shows, Aerosmith will return across the Atlantic with one of the greatest rock shows ever seen and will undoubtedly be the ultimate must see event of 2017 as the band embark upon this, their ‘farewell’ tour, saying “Aero-Vederci Baby!”. The tour includes an appearance at the 3Arena in Dublin on 14th June 2017.}

_{Angels Or Kings released their second album, called “Go Ask The Moon” through AOR Heaven on 28th October. This is the follow up to their debut “Kings of Nowhere” which I posted a recommendation for in Nov 2014. The band was actually active in the UK AOR scene during the late 80’s and early 90’s but didn’t release any albums prior to disbanding. When the band reformed in 2011 it was four of the original members along with a new vocalist. The debut album earned some great reviews and the follow up should be equally well received. The track “No Alibi” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 4th November.}

_{Rock Wolves released their self-titled debut album via Steamhammer / SPV on 28th October. The trio certainly aren’t new to the rock arena however with all them having 25 to 40 years of experience; some of it at the highest peaks of the rock hierarchy. The inclusion of vocalist / guitarist Michael Voss in the band was what made the press release stand out for me. Add to that, the name of drummer Herman Rarebell, and you know something is worth checking out! From the first listen to the first track, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed! I played that track “Rock For The Nations” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 4th November and “Riding Shotgun” on 11th November.}
