 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.....

 Last week we paid our own crazed tribute to the Chinese Year Of The Rabbit - this week we honour the impending (somewhere, surely) Week Of The Metal Beast with an album from 1987 that might have caused the animalistic Blackie Lawless to raise an eyebrow....or at least mime doing it.......

Happy New Year to Über Röckers worldwide!!! Ring in 2011 with a timeless piece of album cover art that is simply magic. As this year is the Chinese Year Of The Rabbit I felt that we should honour it somehow, but who would ever put a rabbit on the cover of a metal album? These guys....

 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....
