Félix Rabin – ‘Pogboy’ EP (Self-Released)

French guitarist Félix Rabin first came to the attention of the ÜR massive when he supported the legendary Wishbone Ash on their 28-date ÜK back in 2018. The positive response to this run was such that he returned for his first headline run in April of 2019 – and then for another six months later, before going on to win the ‘Best Act’ accolade at this past January’s ‘Giants Of Rock’ festival… and all of this before he even had any recorded music to promote, something which he has now corrected with this, the release of his debut six-track EP (which, ironically, he cannot currently promote in the live environment – although he did manage a quick run of dates as support to Samantha Fish just before the keys were turned on the lockdown).

Hartmann – ’15 Pearls and Gems’ (Pride & Joy Music)

Hartmann is a German hard rock band founded in 2004 by singer/guitarist Oliver Hartmann, perhaps better known as a member of Avantasia. After eight successful albums between 2005 and 2018, they have now presented us with ’15 Pearls and Gems’ , comprised of five new tracks, five covers and five live originals, hence the ’15’ in the title. If you aren’t familiar with the band then they can be described rather vaguely as for fans of Mr Big, David Coverdale, Bad Company and the ilk.

Elephant Tree – ‘Habits’ (Holy Roar Records/Deathwish Inc.)

Elephant Tree are generally held in quite high regard throughout a lot of alternative music bands and fans alike, quite frequently seen on festival lineups that feature somewhat off-the-beaten track artists such as Arctangent, Desertfest or Manchester’s Riffolution Fest. Boasting quite a unique sound that lets them slip into a myriad of different lineups, their self-stated stoner/doom/psych sound ends up with a proggy streak and makes for some pretty bloody interesting stuff.

DevilsBridge – ‘Endless Restless’ EP (Fastball Music)

Swiss quintet DevilsBridge are very much a new entity, as far as both Über Rock and the wider Überverse are concerned, as they have just two previous single releases, at the end of last year and the beginning of this, before presenting us collectively with this, their debut EP – which, rather cleverly, does not feature either of the two aforementioned singles but rather contains another six new tracks for our approval.
