Nickelback Are Back

Nickelback Dark Horse
When I first heard that Nickelback were releasing a new album on Saturday, I had some reservations about it as their previous release The Long Road didn’t have that fierce grunt to most tracks of its tracks.


I’m very pleased to say that I love Nickelback’s new album which is called Dark Horse. It’s full of grunt, very non-political correctness and lots of guitars and drums. But there are some softer tracks on the album like the first single Gotta Be Somebody which I personally love. It’s a great first single that won me over.

Some of the lyrics on Dark Horse are straight up and have not an ounce of political correctness in them. The first track called Something In Your Mouth starts the album with a straight-up, in-your-face lyrics about a dancer. Shakin’ Hands is an adult fairy-tale about a woman who dreams of being a “gold-digger” who doesn’t just “shake hands”. There are some lyrics that may offend some people for their male chauvinistic language so this album won’t be to everyone’s likings.

On the flipside, the track If Today Was Your Last Day has some really deep and meaning lyrics. I wouldn’t be surprised if they released it as a single.

I give Dark Horse four and a half frangipanis.

Urge To Rock?

Coming To Terms (album)

Carolina Liar


coming to terms Carolina Liar
If you have the urge of listening to a good rock album then let me suggest Carolina Liar’s debut album Coming To Terms.


Most of Carolina Liar’s band members have come from Sweden, but lead singer Chad Wolf is from South Carolina; a very interesting mix that produces a really rocky sound. If you look at each song credit, each band member contributed to the tracks.

The first track is their single I’m Not Over which starts the album boldly and loudly. Each song has a story of love, losses and personal struggles, combined with heavy guitars and drums.

However the track Last Night sounds quite different to the rest of the album. Synthesised keyboards were used giving a pop/80 ‘s sound, much like The Killers’ sound.

There are some catchy lyrics on the album and I wouldn’t be surprised if we will hear songs like Coming To Terms, All The Shit Is Gone and Beautiful World on our radio in the year ahead.

Coming To Terms gets three out of five frangipanis from me.

I just wanted to let you all know that last night I had a first listen to Snow Patrol’s new album and I’m looking forward to writing a review about it soon. Also last week I bought Carolina Liar’s latest album which I quite like so look out for that review soon.

Keep Rockin,

My nineteen year-old sister has been literally playing to death Kings Of Leon’s Only By The Night which features the song that everyone is hearing Sex On Fire.

Kings Of Leon


I have just realised thanks to Wikipedia why the name Kings Of Leon sounds familiar to me. A couple of years ago the band had a song out called On Call. From memory the video showed how the band consisted of long-haired, grungy-looking nerds, who are brothers by the way. On Call was a hit in Britain, but it seems Only By The Night has made the band a worldwide success and Kings Of Leon are the “it” band to buy and download at the moment
