 The year is barely a month old yet the Uber Rock Singles Club has had to call an emergency meeting just to clear the backlog of damn fine vinyl we have to share with you all. This time around Johnny H reviews the latest 7"ers from The Dancers, The Old Firm Casuals, Cyanide Pills (what a fine picture sleeve that is) and JJ & The Real Jerks plus a bloody CD from Dick Venom & The Terrortones. He's got some explaining to do with that last one that's for sure. Find out what his excuses are by clicking on the link.

Uber Rock's famous Album Cover Of The Week feature isn't just an essential piece of eye candy, oh no - it is an essential tool in the never ending fight for the truth. Last week we exposed a long-forgotten album from a band determined to forget it, this week we answer a question that many of you must surely ask yourselves on a nightly basis....

 One look at both the Uber Rock albums and gigs of the year lists should have told you just how much of an impact the incredible Vintage Trouble had on select members of the UR Massive in 2011. Ben Hughes was one of our obsessive compulsive writers risking VT-OD in a quest for gig list vindication and the sweet, sweet sound of rock 'n' roll. Did he find either at any of the eight Vintage Trouble shows that he attended in 2011? Read on as he ushers in the New Year with an exclusive look into his top secret gig diary.....

 See in the New Year, a year that promises so much for your pathetic life, with a mullet so alluring, so switched on with both sensuality and sexuality that I can barely type this without wanting to touch myself.....back door. Week 82 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week ushers in 2012 with a romantic classic....

It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid.....that is until you have seen the friggin' monstrosity that I have wrapped up with a pretty little bow on top for you lucky, lucky uber-peeps. Week 81 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week celebrates family, and Xmas, and, of course, pirates. How could I find such a combination? Trust me, baby - I'm a looker...

 Subtitled "From Deep Purple to Black Country Communion" this autobiography from Glenn Hughes (with Joel McIver) arrives in paperback form with a foreword from Metallica's Lars Ulrich. Jamie Richards found out which members of The Runaways ended up as notches on the Hughes bedpost, a post occupied by a demon (of sorts) too. Read on for the lusty, literary lowdown......

 He's back - the man behind the 'tache. Steve Danger, riotous drummer for Brit metal overlords Wolfsbane, picks up his tour diary in Cardiff and continues his tales of terror right through to their sold out show in Birmingham's O2 Academy a few days later as the band once again set sail covering the motorways of the UK in their mission to save the rock 'n' roll world.

We continue the piratey theme as championed by the real men behind the scenes at Uber Rock with another fine example of sleeve art. Week 79 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week could actually be described as a bit too 'space' piratey......click that link and turn to the dark side...

 There was a time when the name of Anvil was only mentioned in hushed tones within metal circles. Thankfully that's not the case here in 2012, but long time pounder Jim Rowland wants to take you all back to the beginning of the band's fallow years via this series of re-releases from Steamhammer/SPV and a Sony best of, to prove it wasn't all as bad as you might care to remember. Pound on people, pound on....

80 weeks; 80 weeks of seductive, award winning album cover art for you good people to get your crooked teeth around. You can thank me later. Continuing a theme started by a serious comment made by an idiot member of the UR Massive this week's Album Cover Of The Week will scare and satisfy in equal measure....possibly...

 When you get an offer from someone like Steve Danger to write you a tour diary you don't pass up on it. The guy is a fucking nutcase and then some, he also happens to be a great drummer in a great band...Wolfsbane. So when just that happened - we didn't exactly have to think twice. His band play Hard Rock Hell later tonight but right now you can find out what it's really like to be on the road with a band ready to save the rock 'n' roll world!
