 They supported Nirvana on the very first date of the 'Nevermind' UK tour, had a fabled NME single of the week and toured with a whole host of cool bands, from Therapy? to Mega City Four. Then Midway Still, like so many other bands, seemingly disappeared. Über Röck's Craggy discovered recently that he isn't just lucky in love, but also in the ways of sweet rock 'n' roll as he happened upon the reunited band and their latest album.......

 Über Röck is all about the kids: you know this. We do this site, slaving over a hot tin ZX81, just to educate the kids in all things rock 'n' roll. If we didn't, what would they be left with? Pop puppets and auto-tuned clothes hangers with fake tits, lips and talent. No, we pride ourselves here at Über Röck on educating the kids, the future of rock, of metal. That's why Week 93 of our seminal feature Album Cover Of The Week is educational as well as thought provoking...

 Entering their fourth decade as a band, Queen may have long since forgotten how to rock you, but as Johnny H discovers it doesn't stop them celebrating a time when they could justifiably call themselves "the most preposterous band that's ever lived...."

 This new edition of Ulli Lommel's 'Blank Generation' starring Richard Hell offers a window to another time but is an essential purchase for the all new interview with its star who is less than flattering about the entire project.....

A hot bird, a ferocious beast almost climbing out of the cover art and into your life: sounds like the photo on the sleeve of that last braindead and basic Reckless Love album, right? But no, wait, there is another. Week 94 of Über Röck's Album Cover Of The Week proves that shit ideas for bad album covers on even worse albums isn't the sacred possession of rubbish pop rock bands....

It could be unfair of us here at Über Röck, could be a little underhand in the greater scheme of things, but when we're stuck for an Album Cover Of The Week exhibit we delve deep into the fruitful bosom of Christian rock. This week sees us fingering the Godly gorge once more as, really, nothing tells us that there is a heaven more than a piece of cardboard with a big blue thing chasing a stickman plastered on it.

 You know what Über Röckers truly love? Detroit punk-influenced badass bands playing fundraising gigs for Canadian roller derby teams with names like the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Find that in Kerrang, kids! Jason Daniel Baker got his hide to Toronto's Bovine Sex Club...and just about managed to escape with enough unspoiled fingers to get his thoughts down for your reading pleasure......

Be warned - this week's entry in our fantastical feature Album Cover Of The Week is so sexy, so dripping in sensuality, so swamped in metallic metrosexuality that it should come with a health warning, Consider this it.....

 "There is no industry for female-fronted bands anymore." Well, Canada's Karma Kreeps, fronted by former Moerae's Fate member Katee Lee, may have to disagree with the thoughts of a typically clued-in record company executive. Jason Daniel Baker introduces us to a band who threaten to rise out of the ashes of several bands and, with their music already being nominated for awards, soar.....

 Jason Daniel Baker drives European Über Röckers into a jealous rage as he drags his Canadian ass to a screening of the hot new movie based on seminal all-girl rockers The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie. For rock fans, says Jason, there should be no other movie right now...

 It'll take something pretty damn special to get Johnny H to read a book from cover to cover, we can tell you. But that's just what Brian Tatler's recent 'Am I Evil?' autobiography managed to do with his story of NWOBHM legends Diamond Head.
