Subsequently, Monk took the opportunity to grab a chat with frontman and lyricist Mike IX Williams to chat about the album and its creation against the backdrop of a global pandemic – and what turns out to be its rather prophetic title.

Often referred to as a ‘godfather of Americana’, Nashville’s Jason Ringenberg has had a long and successful career mixing country with rock since the early ‘80s as frontman of the legendary Jason & The Scorchers, as a solo artist and even as his children’s entertainer alter-ego Farmer Jason. After 2019’s extremely well received solo record ‘Stand Tall’, Ringenberg had originally planned to take a break, but with a few songs left over from that project, and the onset of an unexpected Covid lockdown, the songs came gushing out again, and the result is his new solo album ‘Rhinestoned’.

A couple of EPs filter out, you’re hyped for the next big release, and then… hiatus/split time. Like many of us, DJ Astrocreep thought we may have unfortunately seen the last of Black Spiders but that thankfully seems not to be the case after time out in lockdown has readjusted priorities. Will they live up to the hype they rightfully built up? There’s only one way to find out…

When thinking of Singapore, your mind probably goes to the glitz and glamour of the Formula One, the architectural excellence of the Marina Bay Hotel, the stunning and futuristic Gardens or the exotic wildlife. Thanks to Witchseeker and their second album, ‘Scene of The Wild’, we can now look to add in rough and ready heavy metal too. Sheikh Spitfire originally set out for Witchseeker to be a one-man project in 2012. However, since then it has now grown to a quartet with Spitfire handling bass and vocal duties while being joined by Brandon Speedranger and Nick Strombringer on guitars and Aip Sinner on drums. They’ve created a healthy buzz within their local scene and 2017’s debut ‘When the Clock Strikes’ saw their fanbase grow. This second full length should serve to strengthen the bands reputation and act as a catalyst for wider recognition.
