The Über Rock Singles Club – Mayhem In May (Volume Two)
Welcome to the latest edition of the Über Rock Singles Club. We have managed to keep the Club up-and-running despite the numerous Covidications which we all have had to endure over the past 24 months, in order to bring you the hottest new sounds around. And once again we have another hitlist of superb sonic experiences to tickle your sonic senses, with a selection of my favourite tunes to have found their way on to the ÜRHQ deathdecks over the past few weeks… Bearing in mind that we took a bit of a longer break between clubs this month, we received more than 600 submissions since we last fired up the trusty death decks, it was not an easy task to whittle them down to this all-too-short playlist of just a handful musical gems…

Uber Rock Introduces… Archives

At the time of its release, Monk described it as “deftly crafted and stridently confident”, an opinion he still holds some six months later.

Uber Rock Introduces… Sluka
When it comes to high flying artists, there are few that fit the description more aptly than Seattle-based songsmith Christopher Sulka… well, he does own his own airplane and run a flying school! In between that, he’s also managed to produce 13 albums over the course of the last two decades. With his most recent, ‘Figure It Out’, currently available, we took the opportunity to catch-up with the guitarist/singer/composer to find out a bit more about what makes him tick.

Über Rock Introduces… The Risen Dread
Irish death metal quartet The Risen Dread got this current year off to the best possible slot, what with the release of their stunning debut album, ‘Night Hag’, which they promptly followed up with a coveted opening slot on the mighty ‘United Titans’ tour with genre legends Vader and Marduk. OK, they may have suffered something of a disappointment with the postponement of their planned hometown return, when the Clang festival was put on ice until October, but they’ve certainly hit the ground running… What better time to catch up with TRD co-founder and guitarist Will Ribeiro to find out a bit more about this rising (sic) Dublin crüe?
