Monsters Of Rock Cruise 2024 Lineup

The 2023 edition of the Monsters of Rock Cruise just wrapped. The next one will happen March 2 - 7, 2024 with stops in Jamaica and the Bahamas with Miami, Florida as homeport. The event's Facebook page added a graphic of artists for the next cruise and it includes The Darkness and Crazy Lixx!

Cabins go on sale soon - I would expect the event to sell out quickly, as per usual.

Glam Slam 2023 Festival Lineup Announced - And It Is Awesome

Ok now here's a festival I would love to attend! The Glam Slam Festival will take place September 8, 9 and 10 in Vorselaar, Belgium. Check out this lineup! It includes Crashdiet, Mike Tramp's White Lion, The Cruel Intentions, Crazy Lixx and so many more. I'm so jealous of the folks that get to go to this one. It's what I always hoped M3 Rock Festival would evolve into... but probably not enough known bands for an American audience.

Early bird tickets are on sale now - click through the post below for more details.

Sunday's Best: Week 12, 2022

It was a long week, wasn't it? The weather was crappy again by me. I woke up to snow both yesterday and today and so much cold! The news is depressing... and work is work. Looking for something to cheer me up, I thought about the best Swedish rock bands. That's our Sunday's Best for this week.

Obviously, Europe is on the list. I mean, is there a better rock band from Sweden? Creating stadium anthems since before the 1980s, Joey Tempest has one of the greatest voices in Glam. My favorite Europe track is easily "Superstitious."

Hardcore Superstar just released their new album Abrakadabra and also dropped their video for the title track. HS is a great band and definitely one of my favorites.

Of course, no list of my favorite Swedish rock bands is complete without Crashdiet. So many different singers, but each one brings a new flavor to the group. Here's "Rust."

Crazy Lixx is also always on my favorites of Sweden list. I was in love with this band the first time I heard them. They've been around since 2002 and Loud Minority is a great debut. That was back when one of the founders, Vic Zino, was still in the band. Zino is with Hardcore Superstar now and has been since 2009.

New Crazy Lixx Video 'Rise Above'

My beloved Crazy Lixx just released a new video! They made a clip for the song "Rise Above." The song is from the upcoming album Street Lethal. This is one of the albums I am most excited about - but everyone knows I love my Swedish Glam bands. The guitars in "Rise Above" are freaking amazing. I want to see Crazy Lixx in concert!

'Anthem For America'

Sweden's Crazy Lixx has done it again! They are back with a new song called "Anthem For America." The track is all about how American rock music essentially died in 1993. Hmm... now what happened around that time I wonder?!?

The song is on the album Street Lethal. The new album is due November 5, 2021 and I will be a day one buyer. I swear, I love this band. The guitar solo comes in around 2:50. So, so good. Enjoy!
