Powerplay 195 March 2017
INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
Thirty-five years into the band’s career and Night Ranger are still leading the line for melodic hard rock. The title of their twelfth album, ‘Don’t Let Up’, says it all. Swedish wonder boys Eclipse hit the melodic sweet spot again with latest offering ‘Monumentum’, Danko Jones channel the spirit of Misfits and Thin Lizzy on the sharp-clawed ‘Wild Cat’ and Mike Tramp revisits the sound of his ‘Capricorn’ solo debut. Also this month we talk to Overkill, Bloodbound, Crystal Viper, The Mute Gods, Electric Guitars, Junkyard Drive, Jimi Anderson, Nick Douglas, Age Of Reflection, The Picturebooks and former Sabaton six-stringer Thobbe Englund, plus there are new blood interviews in the shape of The Charm The Fury, Black Sites and much talked about One Desire.
