The
English rock band, Foghat are best known for their high-powered
seventies rockers "Slow Ride" and "Fool For The City." Their career has
lasted over 45 years and they are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their hit single,
"Slow Ride" with their latest album "Under The Influence." It features a
mix of new and cover songs and will be released on June 24th. The
current line-up of the band has been together now over a decade and they
appear to be as strong as ever, still delivering classic hard rock
grooves with a big bang sound.
The new
twelve-song release begins with guitars blazing on the title song "Under
The Influence" and the stomping rhythm of "Ghost." Foghat get a little
bluesy with the classic rockabilly feel of "She's Got A Ring In His
Nose" and inject a shot of adrenaline into Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It
Through The Grapevine." They push the pedal to the medal for the up-beat driving
tunes "Made Up My Mind" and "Hot Mama," which brings back that classic
Foghat sound from the seventies. The album closes with a remake of the
their biggest hit, "Slow Ride" featuring original bassist Nick Jameson.
Foghat are currently on tour in the U.S. To find out more about their

From the
U.K. comes the sophomore album titled "White Bear" from rockers The
Temperance Movement. They have been chosen on a couple different
occasions to open for The Rolling Stones and their break-through single "Take It Back"
cracked the top 10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock singles chart last
spring.
Their new
release features a dozen tracks of raw energy poured into each song,
beginning with the grunge/punk-like romp of "Three Bulleits." They work
"Get Yourself Free" into a classic hard rock groove as this band sounds
experienced well beyond their years. The Temperance Movement turn the
energy up a notch with the pounding rhythm of "Modern Massacre" as Phil
Campbell's vocals become the icing on the cake. Their sound takes a
southern turn with the title-song "White Bear," before adding a bit of
funk into the hard rock mix of "Oh Lorraine." They let up on the attack with the rock ballad "I Hope I'm Not Losing My Mind" and then
close the album with the laid-back, country/rock vibe of "Time Won't
Leave." To find out more about The Temperance Movement and their latest
