 Sucked in by some classy cover art, Nev Brooks tries his hardest to pin the influence tail on the My Uncle The Wolf donkey. He eventually gets it and the names Nick Cave, Pavement and Ministry pour out of him like bandname sweat. Read on for the salty details.....

 MiMi Soya, apparently, can't stand pop bands. Sounding like a big ball of popular music is gonna be tough for them then! Thankfully, Dave Prince loves pop punk like he loves keyboards so this review is in safe, hairy hands.

 Claiming to be one of the first hard rock bands to carry a Christian message, The Daniel Band cause Nev Brooks to have a near deaf experience. As he heads towards the light, he is accompanied by the sweet sounds of the remastered edition of the long out of print 'On Rock'.

  Hell bent for a bit of Judas Priest, some of us at ÜRHQ pride ourselves on our undying love of all things Halford and Co. So when it came to reviewing the thirtieth anniversary edition of 'British Steel' we had to ask the only one of us old enough to remember it first time around to get a bit of...um, perspective. Step forward Johnny H

 Self proclaimed long time Molly Hatchet fan Russ P couldn't believe his luck when their all new album 'Justice' dropped into the ÜRHQ PO Box. But wait a minute he hasn't actually bought an album by them since the early nineties and they have released umpteen albums in-between. Russ prepares for an education lesson Southern style.

 With an album cover involving hammers and anvils how could you ever doubt that German heavy metallers Kissin' Dynamite are anything other than 'Addicted To Metal'. So we asked David Whistance to once more don his cat skin gloves and take the road to Asgard, with the band's second album blasting out on his MP4 player obviously.

 We are the first people to point the finger and accuse Russ P of listening to depressing, sullen and sombre music. Well with the new album from Junius, 'The Martyrdom Of A Catastrophist', he has the perfect bedfellow, as the band's apocalyptic stew is perfect for people who love their albums as dark as night.

 Breaking his own unwritten law, Russ P foolishly visits a band's Myspace before he spins their album. But what's this? At The Drive In and The Mars Volta are influences? Suddenly he's a very excited Über Röck scribe, so will Battleplans live up to his expectations?

 Three years after releasing PESSIMSTE(S), two years after NIHILISTES(S) and one year after MISANTHROPES(S), French black metal band CELESTE return with their latest offering MORTE(S)NEE(S) and on David Whistance's lips the immortal question is poised. "What the fuck is this (S) business all about?"

 No, not the bodacious main squeeze of Wayne Campbell, this Tia Carrera are a jam-heavy stoner rock band with songs of epic length and, for Nev Brooks at least, a drowsiness warning.....

 Darrel Sutton in Vain? Has he teezed his hair and taken a stroll down Cock Rock Cul-De-Sac? No, this is the title of the latest six track release from Manchester metallers Incassum that he lovingly reviews for your reading pleasure.

 With a hugely famous father, a metal legend of a husband, a stint as a "Crüe Slut" and an album featuring guest appearances from Jerry Cantrell and The Nuge, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Pearl Aday has had a lot of doors opened for her. Matt Phelps tells us that, in fact, she is ready to kick those doors down all by herself.......

 Solo album number three for Mr Vince Neil, and this time around it's a semi autobiographical affair for his upcoming book by the same name. 'Tattoos & Tequilas' may not be about to save the planet, but as David Whistance finds out it contains some of the purest bubblegum rock you'll find around in 2010.

 No fear of Matt Phelps 'Opting Out' when faced with the prospect of reviewing 'Connexions', the latest self released album from Leeds-based noiseniks Lifescreen. Big riffs are on the menu and Matt's stomach is rumbling for rock!!!

Born in the USA they may be, but one whiff of 'eau de Springsteen' on Gaslight Anthem's third album and Johnny H will be on his funky moped out of there. Thankfully then he finds a band rediscovering themselves, whilst still retaining their 'American Slang'
