Notes By Glen Parkes Interview by Darren McIntyre Alan Fletcher may be forever etched in the hearts of TV audiences as Dr. Karl Kennedy from Neighbours, a role he has played for nearly three decades, but in recent years he has been carving out an equally impressive path in music. With a [more…]

Review By Glen Parkes Photo courtesy of John Bull  There’s something about a true live album that can’t be faked. The squeak of fingers sliding on strings, the crack of the snare, the roar of a crowd that’s right there in the moment—it’s the unpolished magic that separates a performance from a [more…]

Review By Halina Wegner From the moment the needle drops on Who’s Who in the Zoo, The Vendettas make one thing crystal clear — they’re not here to play safe. This is the sound of a band that has lived, breathed, and bled rock ’n’ roll for over two decades, refining their [more…]
