When The Wildhearts announced back at the end of 2012 that they would be playing four UK shows to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their seminal debut album Earth Vs The Wildhearts’ one very eager scribe here at URHQ, namely Rich Hobson decided to go the extra mile for the cause and take in every show. Without free gig tickets, without any hotels, this is his story of life on the road following his favourite band. Respect!

Episode 10? How did that happen?! Convinced that we'd be thrown off the air after just one show, the heady heights of double figures played havok with the egos of the Uber Rock Radio Massive making for one top class two hour show! You want the Manowar Minute, the Saxon Six Seconds, the Loverboy 'Leven Seconds, the all-new Uber Rock Big Issue and, of course, the seminal Watkins's Tune? Of course you do!

Recording 'Nevermind' didn't just change Dave Grohl's life, it saved those of the people clinging onto business and careers at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, for a time at least. Grohl's directorial debut, the documentary named after the iconic studio, is a must-see says Uber Rock's Gaz E as he checks out the film's Blu-ray release.....

Your everyday US drive-in was rammed to the max with exploitation, gore and cheap thrills, arthouse cinema rarely got a look in due to it being more of an....err....acquired taste. Über Röck's Dead End Drive-In stands alone as it covers all the bases, including cult items that are eye candy to some and rat poison to others. Guess which one makes the bile rise in the stomach of Nev Brooks as he checks out the recent live DVD from cult outfit The Residents?

We said we'd cover everything of a visual bent under the Dead End Drive-In banner, and we weren't lying! Jamie Richards looks at the wealth of soundtrack appearances that Pearl Jam have made since their creation....and actually before! Read on for an in-depth dissection of a band, its frontman, and their, perhaps surprising, mass of movie music.....

With Public Enemy getting inducted at last week's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony and today getting reviewed on Uber Rock, we thought it was high time to delve into the rap and hip hop world for a striking piece of cover art for Week 151 of our fabled Album Cover Of The Week feature and, trust us, we're glad we did because this is hot....

If the title doesn't explain it then you're doing something wrong: Uber Rock's Jason Daniel Baker looks at the oft-awful musical ventures of the likes of Kevin Costner, Billy Bob Thornton and Keanu Reeves. With barely a Juliette Lewis as salvation, this is an article that suggests that most actors should stick to the silver screen....and will have you rolling in the aisles in the process.....

It's Monday, and also the first day of a new month, of a new season almost. Yes, there may still be snow on the mountain tops, in your gardens, on the roof of your pigeon coop but, fear not, spring is here and, boy, that just makes us want to shake off our heterosexuality and DANCE BABY DANCE!

Week 97 of Über Röck's Album Cover Of The Week comes over a holiday period that resonates strongly through the corridors of ÜRHQ. We like nothing better here than celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ by ramming our faces so full of chocolate that when we eventually stop eating for several seconds in order to pinch one out, we curl out a perfect recreation of vintage confectionary item, the Logger bar. Amen.
