Next Wave Magazine – “Seasons In Exile” Review (19.01.2024)

“…Well, let me tell you that it shows. We have an amazing album on our hands that should not go unnoticed. Especially for those into rock sounds with an indie twist. It’s brimming with soaring guitars, pounding percussion and sharp hooks.

A high point for me is the song ‘You Are My Wilderness’ with its compelling pounding drums, heartfelt raspy vocals plus an incredible bass line and some great guitar progressions. Pure rock…”

Thanks to Aura Romero for this review of our third album “Seasons In Exile”.

The Big List: Q&A With: Unquiet Nights

This month we meet Unquiet Nights to hear about their comeback singles and much more.

Eclectic Music Lover (Review) – “Promise of You”

“…PROMISE OF YOU is the first single, and it’s a hard-rockin’ beauty! It starts off with a drawn-out electric guitar note, then an explosion of gritty guitars and fuzzy bass rain down, propelled by a crushing drumbeat that really gets the blood pumping. The track grows more intense as dramatic synths and layers of jangly and shredded guitars are added, building to a pulse-pounding crescendo. The instrumentals are phenomenal…”

VIDEO – “Don’t Wanna Kill For Religion”

Apr 2015 – Blackstar Amps, Manor Park Studios, Der ungezähmte Fußballer…

April was another busy month, to go with 2015 in general.  There were some recording sessions in Northern Ireland, then back to Italy.  An amp endorsement, German literature, new interviews and some upcoming things that’ll happen during May.  So, to recap in roughly chronological order….
