 Karma To Burn are out on the road in Europe right now in support of their reissued debut album 'Karma to Burn; Slight Reprise'. You know the story about this release right? It's the album where the band were originally forced to release it with vocals on or have it shelved by label bosses at Roadrunner. To get the full story behind this most bizarre tale plus much more, we asked Jim Rowland to catch up with the band's lead guitarist Will Mecum when the stoner trio played the Borderline in London recently.

 Back at the start of 2012 the pounding metal heart of Uber scribe Matt Phelps was pumping with joy at the arrival here at URHQ of the first studio album by Oliver/Dawson Saxon. At the time describing 'Motorbiker' as "hugely impressive" we thought it would be good to get Matt to have a chat with messrs Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson a few months down the line so we could all find out what has been happening with the band in the meantime.

 This year has already been a very busy one for legendary rock frontman Phil Lewis.

But talk he did with our very own uber fan Johnny H about his aspirations for the band's upcoming European tour plus exactly what he thinks of that other version of LA Guns doing the rounds.
