From Virginia comes a brand new progressive/hard rock band
Corsair with their self-titled debut album. It will be released on January 21
through Shadow Kingdom Records and it features a sound that dates back to when
rock was more about the instrumentation and less about the lyrics.
The album begins with the five-minute instrumental “Agathyrsi”
as the band’s sound would have you convinced it came from Yes, ELP or even
Rush. They take on a heavier, British metal sound on “Chaemera,” before heading
back to their seventies classic rock era on “Gryphon Wing.” The band show off
the musical talents again on the instrumental, “Mach,” the close the album with
the more expanding, progressive rock of “The Desert.”

Another new band (from across the pond) has also recently
released their debut album. After three years of touring, the Sticky Boys, from
France, finally decided to come out with their first full-length album, “This
Is Rock n’ Roll.” As said by the band, they decided to give France something that
has been missing for so long, “a genuine rock n’ roll band.”
Right from the opening riffs of “Rock ‘n’ Roll Nation” you
get a sense that this band doesn’t mess around. Their songs carry an AC/DC-type
sound that is just pure rock with no fluff. The up-tempo pace up “Great Big
Dynamite” and “Big Thrill” gets the adrenaline pumping as the band hits it out
of the park with the guitar-riff fueled “Miss Saturday Night.” The album closes
with the slow-building blast of “The Way To Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
The Sticky Boys have some dates lined-up for next year in
their home country of France, but be on the look-out for the boys to hit the
road hard in 2013 promoting their new album, “This Is Rock n’ Roll.” For more
