Can you believe we are already through 2 months of 2024? It is insane how time flies. This week we have a bunch more releases for you to help enjoy some of that fast flying time. There are two I’m really interested in. One I’ve already bought (Ace Frehley) and one I want to stream first (Mick Mars). Both great rock records I’m sure. My friend Down Under (Harrison, you know I’m talking about you) will want to grab hold of the new Blaze Bayley. All the rest of you let me know what you want to hear this week or what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend. Note: There are too many releases for videos this week, but I will do at least the the albums that made the picture above…
Ace Frehley – 10,000 Volts – (MNRK Records)
Mick Mars – The Other Side of Mars – (1313 LLC)
Blaze Bayley – Circle of Stone – (Blaze Bayley Recording)
As we get closer to Halloween, we have over 70 more treats for you this week. No tricks. It is another huge Friday New Release day and there should be something for everyone. I have a couple I’ve pre-orded and one I’ll listen to for sure. The two pre-ordered are The Rolling Stones new one with the Atlanta Braves Exclusive cover and the other is a new Night Ranger album with a live show on CD & DVD as well. The third thing I’ll at least stream is the new Blink-182 now that the original members are back together. Outside of that, I’m sure I’ll get to Rival Sons when I can. What do you want to hear this week or what are you buying? Also, let me know if there were any new release s we missed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

It’s a pretty slow start to the year, nothing for me last week and only one for me this week (highlighted in Blue). However, that is normally the case for the first couple weeks of January. It will pick up soon, I promise. Hopefully there will be something for you in this list and if not, there will be something soon enough, I promise. The good news is it frees my up to keep chugging along on the Gene Simmon’s The Vault 15 part review and the David Coverdale Series…check them both out. How’s that for a shameless plug?
Sons of Apollo – MMXX – (InsideOutMusic): I am so happy to see Sons of Apollo bringing us their second studio album, but third album overall. I thought this might be a one and done kind of thing, but thankfully nope. The band has one of my favorite singers, Jeff Scott Soto as well as some guys you might have heard of by the names of Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan, Derek Sherinian and some no name guitarist that goes by Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. Just a little band full of nobodies…huh, yeah right. It don’t get much better than this lineup!! A super group for dang sure. Check them out.
