Review by Nagz

I just started listening to Hagane. Top Of The Tower was good, but Metal Quest, well, this was definitely more of the style I like! Black Diamond sounds like it was pulled right out of the late 80's hair metal scene which I grew up with. Tsukikage has a great raunchy guitar start to it, the drumming in We Are The Knight is so good, driving through the song like a freight train, and the rest of the tracks have a good hard rock sound! A band with a great vocalist, great guitarist and bassist and of course... the drummer is super cool!

Just a bunch of talented young women playing some good old school garage band punk! The songs are all energetic and fun! The title track "Heartbreaker" has a really great raunchy guitar sound... well, really, all the songs do, and are all great tracks! Just trust me, if you like good old rock, just get the album!

They were ready to do a big tour, then the world came crashing down. What did Band-Maid do? They made sure to still give their "Masters & Princesses" everything they could from their hearts and souls. This was one of their live shows with no audience, due to the Covid lockdowns and cancellations. Even with no crowd in front of them, they still gave us everything! Definitely worth getting as a piece of history. The recordings all sound great and the video looks great!

If you are a fan of LOVEBITES, this is a reissue of their first EP! Amazing blue vinyl! But, for those who are worried about shipping this across the globe, CD Japan does an amazing job with the packaging so it will arrive all safe and sound to your door! *I mean, unless a dog eats it or it gets caught in a food processor.

For the Band-Maid fandom! If you have the original CD version, if you have the Blu-ray package version, you might as well add the DVD version to the collection as well!

Own a piece of history with this Live Blu-ray. The Stereogang puts together a personal handmade package of their live performance! It's raw, it's unfiltered, it is ROCK & ROLL. Sound quality is amazing and they put on a great show! One of the greatest parts of this package "if you received the Pre-Order Bonus" is the separate audio cd's. I wish more bands would include that with their Blu-ray concerts as a package. There are also some Q/A segments on the Blu-ray however they are only in Japanese.

1985, I am in my teens listening to 80 metal here in North America. I am watching the typical music video shows of the era when a band from Japan starts ripping up the tv screen with a song called Crazy Nights! That beginning guitar riff is etched into my brain to this day... and that is a long time! This album still holds up today! This was the beginning of my search for great Japanese HR/HM!

This has the title theme to the anime Momentary Lily. It also has a "dance" remix to O*TA*KU from their Butchigiri Tokyo album. Maybe I'm a little greedy, but I wanted some more songs! Either way, grab the limited edition pressing for your collection!

I only discovered Bridear about two years ago. I only had some of their current albums but I never really listened to their older stuff. This CD sums it up! A great mix of their older music but with the newest version of the band. Re-recordings are crisp, and dynamic. And if you want the newest music, Born Again is also highly recommended.

This was an amazing find! I never knew these existed. This model holds the more common "tear drop" style pick. The acrylic block holds the pick inside using magnets so it is easy to switch out if you decide to. A great display for that concert pick that you caught at your favourite show!

What can I say. Do I need more guitar picks? No. But do I need Midori's guitar picks? YES! I believe they are 1.0 mm printed on both sides. They are the mini tear drop style.

Just a nice EP of Bridear to have. You get a little music, you get a little video. And just the song IGNITE was worth every bit of this purchase.

Truly the perfect combination for the LOVEBITES fan! The t-shirt is great quality and colourful. The bonus photo book is actually larger than I expected. (I still have it sealed because I didn't want to damage it... but I really want to look!) and the show... the BluRay is vivid, the camera captures every great moment and the sound is fantastic! It feels like you are right in the crowd with the best seat in the house!

I used to shy away from buying CD's of live shows because the sound never really lived up to my expectations. But, this release truly sounds and feels great. The audio is fantastic. It sounds great sonically, with all the instruments sounding tight, and yet, able to hear subtle nuances of each player. Usually live recordings sound a bit "muddy" but this, crisp highs, tight bass and clear vocals. And of course, it's LOVEBITES!

Things I hate in my Hard Rock / Heavy Metal music. 1. Auto tune. Whoever invented it, there is a special place in hell for you! 2. Cookie Monster vocals (also known as "Screamo" and/ or "death voice". I am ok with it in small doses but... 3. Techno samples and synthesizer samples. "YOUR A HEAVY METAL BAND!!! I want to hear guitar licks, power chords, bass notes and pounding drums! So, HOW THE HECK DID I END UP LOVING THIS BAND? A high energy, full throttle, off the wall band offering a bit of everything for everyone who likes HR/HM and a touch of a uniqueness! ... and they are all so Kawaii! "wink, wink"

I stumbled upon The Stereogang through a post on "X". I found a couple tracks on YouTube and I was hooked! This is their second album and you will definitely want the first! A new band, that brings you the sound and song styles of the 80's and 90's bands you may have grown up with or influenced you to listen to old school rock! You can hear hints of bands like Kiss and Motley Crue in their music. They are a tight band and have a great Rock & Roll sound!

The 2025 Miyako Warrior guitar pick is great on its own, but being able to show it off on your key chain, even better. The pick holder comes empty so you can add a different pick if you want. The claps and case are very sturdy to keep your treasure safe and secure!

A Good Band warming up to make their mark in the world of female rock bands. If you like bands like Nemophila, I think you will like Little Lilith!

I don't know much about this band, but what I do know is if a band is around this long, there must be a reason! Great band covering great songs from other great bands! If you like good old Hard Rock (with the occasional ballad), this is it!

The CD speaks for itself! If you know LOVEBITES, you understand. If you don't know LOVEBITES, start with this, then... you will understand! "They are LOVEBITES, and they play HEAVY METAL!"
