Based in Cambridge, England, The Winter Kings' style is a mix of genres in the vein of Nick Cave, Joy Division and Editors.

While most bluesy hard rock acts of the '70s and '80s hailed from the United States (the south, to be exact), there were several exceptions to the rule, such as Canadian singer/guitarist Pat Travers. Born in Toronto on April 12, 1954, Travers first picked up the guitar just prior to entering his teens, after witnessing a local performance by the great Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't long before Travers was studying the other top rock guitarists of the day (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, etc.), and paying his dues by playing in bar bands in the Quebec area.

Love mountain
Wayrapa muspuymin Great album for relaxing all pipes and some singing on some tracks. Flying condor is their best track though.

NEW BRITISH ROCK Schizophrenic & energetic, Max Raptor are claiming 2009 as the year of the Raptor… Already they have massive support from Kerrang! Radio, The Fly and radio stations and venues all over the U.K. Wil Ray fronts the 4 piece rock/ punk, whip-crack of a band with agitated vocals and fast guitars. You can almost see the chains when they play. Like their music they’re tethered but frenzied, It’s high energy, well thought out and most importantly, believable.
