Oh my!! It’s Friday the 13th! Nothing good happens on Friday the 13th…well…except for new releases and we have about 40 for you this week. I have to say though, for me, there isn’t much I’m really interested in. Three is one I’ll try just because of the people in it, but expectations are a little low. My choice is highlighted in Blue. Take a look through and see what you want to hear this week and let us know what they are (if there are more than one) otherwise just tell us which one. And let us know what we may have missed that came out and is not on the list. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
Skills – Different Worlds – (Frontiers Records): The band is one of this Frontiers band that they piece together some great musicians. This was cool for awhile, but now it is getting old. However, this one still intrigues me for one member, guitarists Brad Gillis from Night Ranger.

I agree with you on those Frontiers bands. They are sort of played. But I’ve never seen Brad Gillis do one, so I thought I’d give it a try.

I’m with you. I’m too tired to get to them all and not going to bother with a lot of them. A lot of stuff will get one listen and I won’t revisit unless it hits me hard for some reason.

I’m going with Junkyard Drive, it’s an awesome album, kinda like GN’R but a little bit sleazier and glammer. If you like KISS and Bruce Kulick, I highly recommend you to check Shameless’ last single (written by Gene simmons and featuring Bruce Kulick)
you can see this song in a demo version in the KISS box set.
