Status Quo - 'Live At The BBC' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by James Gaden: Status Quo shouldn't need any introduction, so I'll jump right in by telling you that the band decided to put together a comprehensive selection of their work that has appeared on the BBC over the years and release it officially. And, as befitting a band with forty years under their belts and stacks of hit records, it's quite a big collection!

Fire - 'Ignite' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Paul Jerome Smith: This is the debut album from the Maltese band that sufficiently excited Avenue Of Allies supremo Gregor Klee to sign them for his label. Their label debut – and second release ('Thrill Me') was reviewed by me in Fireworks 39 and my assessment of it was that it contained nicely-written, energetically-played and well-produced melodic hard rock – indeed a helluva good album.

Darkwater - 'Where Stories End' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Paul Jerome Smith: I rated 'Calling The Earth To Witness' - the band's previous release – as the best debut album across all genres covered by this magazine* in 2007. This was high praise indeed for the Swedish combo, so I was naturally anxious to discover whether 'Where Stories End' could maintain the quality of the debut.
