English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    16 februari 2016

The last time (and my first time) that I reviewed them was in 2011 with Back To Thrill. As I liked their sound I kept on following them, but missed one album. Well, Kiss & Hell, the new album by Austrian punk´n`roll act Kitty In A Casket was worth waiting for!

  Van Muylem    5 februari 2016

Well, this is the new project of Kristell (known from Lovelorn Dolls), it’s a more personal and electronic thing (dreamy pop with an ethereal feel). For the moment this EP is a try out, more is yet to come!

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    1 februari 2016

A lot of people only know Red Zebra from one song, the first one on this compilation, but they have so much more on their CV! They started in 1978 under the name The Bungalows, changed their name and reached the final of the legendary Humo’s Rock Rally (a lot of big bands and great artists ...

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    27 januari 2016

I loved the sound on their previous album (Omen) and now they decided to rework older hits in the studio and get us an up-dated sound. So If you loved it, you can’t miss this best of! It’s true that they could have simply launched a best of without any effort, but this is simply provi...

I remember that one of my friends (Peter Dolphen) is a big fan and saw them on stage in 2014, he is the one responsible for my interest in them. For those who missed them: it’s an Italian EBM band and they recently reissued their cassette from 1983 (on vinyl, CD and in digital form).
