Sometimes you will find a record that has this knack to hook you, but you have no idea why. It is some sort of visceral pull that makes you come back for more. So happened with the somewhat unorthodox Swiss Rock band Silver Dust and their latest album.

The band rose from the ashes in the year of the Lord 2013. And immediately released a first record, which spawned a single of some local acclaim. In 2016, their second album The Age of Decadence released through Escudero Records. This allowed them to get in front of some reputable venues, [...] Click to raid more!

Some records just put a smile on your face. No hesitation at all to take them on and into the pipeline, and get your fingers hacking away at the keyboard. The tune just talks to you. And this is how it should be if you feel like covering some juicy rock piece.

Well, this so happened with the début EP Blackbird from the UK-based band The Riven. Now, if you are looking for some London accent on this record, think again. Instead, the band seems – at times – to step straight out of the Bourbon-fueled swamps of Louisiana, [...] Click to raid more!
