Many people will remember Tennessee based band Every Mother’s Nightmare for their two albums released through Arista Records in the early 90’s. They also released another three albums in the early 00’s and I’ve featured tracks from the band on the NI Rocks Shows for many years. The band never really went away and after releasing an EP in 2015, they release their first studio album in fifteen years on 6th October. The album “Grind” is released through HighVolMusic. I spoke to singer Rick Ruhl via Skype on 12th September to chat about the new album and much more. You can hear that interview, along with four tracks from the album on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th Sept 2017. That Show also features an interview with Swedish band Sparzanza and it can now be found on our MixCloud page - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/interviews-with-every-mothers-nightmare-and-sparzanza-on-the-friday-ni-rocks-show-15th-sept-2017/

Before she joined Vixen drummer Roxy Petrucci had founded the band Madam X with sister Maxine. The band has a somewhat iconic status despite only releasing one album. In 2014 Madam X reformed and they have now signed with EMP Label Group for the release of a new album called “Monstrocity” on 31st October.
I posted an interview with Roxy back in January 2013 before the decision to reform Madam X but the band was mentioned - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1155-ni-rocks-interviews-roxy-petrucci-from-vixenjsrgmadam-x.html

Skarlett Riot vocalist Skarlett was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show last May following the release of their EP “Sentience”. That EP had marked a move to a heavier sound and that continues with the release of their new album “Regenerate” on 27th October. The album is their first release since signing with Despotz Records. Pre-orders will be available from next week.
