Fighting Scot, The - Gaugers

Advantages: Everything, Lyrics, music BEN HARPER!
Disadvantages: none

...Ben Harper and Fight For Your Mind is one of my all time classic albums and I wish someone had told me about this fantastic performer and his many fantastic albums. I have several of his albums, (live from Mars and Greatest hits) but this one is by far the best. I was first introduced to Ben Harper by a passing friend who was from Brazil. He had the album and played it when we went round his for a drink and it was the most peaceful and serene moments I can remember. The music certainly set scene and i will always remember our friend every time i hear these tracks.

Will Simpson, the charismatic front man of the four-piece is the brother of (you may have already guessed from the surname!) Fightstar's resident screamer Charlie.

The band have received much critical acclaim for their work, and this should be no different. From the grab-you-by-the-balls opener 'What Are You Waiting For?' to the melodic masterpiece 'Four Kids to Glockenspiel', this album is a work of art. The gap between 'Lights' and 'Come Morning We Fight' saw former drummer Nathaniel... Read review

...The last time I bought a record by German rock goddess Doro Pesch, was a good few years ago when she was lead singer in the band Warlock. The years passed, and I was idly nosing round eBay and came across her last album FIGHT. "What have I got to lose?" I thought, and promptly bid for the cd and won. When the cd arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was in fact a limited edition enhanced cd complete with two videos. On listening to the album, I was instantly transported to a time when heavy rock WAS heavy rock, and not novelty driven drivel like a lot of the so-called heavy rock/metal bands of today. The album opens with the title track, which builds slowly up to storm out of the speakers. The next track Always live to win takes it up a couple of notches and truly rocks. There are a couple of ballads, which... Read review
