 November is looking like a mental month for gig goers right across the UK, but our friends in London really are particularly spoilt for choice. I swear if we lived there we would never go home. Anyway, to celebrate the cavalcade of rock that is about to descend on the city Uber Rock has once again teamed up with Mean fiddler to offer you the chance to win tickets to see BRIGADE. All you need do is read this article to be in with a chance of winning a pair.

 Week 73 of Uber Rock's World famous Album Cover Of The Week feature is highly personal to me. Anyone who knows my handsome frame will know just how much the colours of claret and blue mean to me. This example of curious cover art started out as a football shirt prototype..maybe....

 With part one of his cavalcade of plaid provoking some accusations that we'd "turned our back on Glam", we couldn't wait to see what Rich Hobson would come up with for part two. Taking ten of his personal favourites acts from the Grunge genre and not necessarily the ten you might think he would pick here is the second instalment of The Bands That Killed Hair Metal.

Sometimes words don't do these album covers justice. Sometimes I just sit and marvel at their extreme beauty, touching myself in the toilet parts. Week 72 of Uber Rock's fabled Album Cover Of The Week feature provided me with such an opportunity. This, my friends, is sex in cardboard form....

Week 71 of Uber Rock's Album Cover Of The Week is all about the keys; good looking men throwing shapes surrounded by banks of keyboards and the orgasmic shrieks of the women around them, wanton with lust at the sight of the melodious fingering before them. This one's for the AORsters out there in UberVille.....

With unconfirmed reports surfacing that last week's classic album cover actually convinced a suicidal gentleman with sexuality issues to climb down from the floodlights at the Maesycwmmer Enormodome, further proof that Über Röck is life changing is not needed. This week, über-scribe Matt Phelps wanted us to show you good people the album art that inspired his latest tattoo, a full backpiece created with a mixture of ink, semen and virgin blood......

Don't ever accuse us here at Über Röck of just picking seminal album covers out at random and chucking them up as an Album Cover Of The Week without giving any thought towards continuity. Take this week, an album tie-in so majestically timed with what is to come in a few short days time that all the boys and girls in Übersville will stand up and shout. First person to get this week's cover painted on their leather jacket wins a prize.......

 There's no need for panic, we haven't launched our own dating website here on Uber Rock (not just yet anyway). Nah, this is our new occasional round up of all the lovely vinyl we've either purchased or had sent to review by the bands that love the smell of vinyl in the morning. Johnny H kicks off proceedings with a rare as hell UK Subs 7", a plethora of Japanese garage rock, the third single from The Old Firm Casuals and a real sonic surprise from JJ & The Real Jerks.

 The Happy Mondays were more rock 'n' roll than most bands when they were still postmen - so says Shaun Ryder in this, his new autobiography. You might have seen a certain other Manchester band taking up column inches this week but this no holds barred tale of drugs and debauchery is one worthy of inclusion on Uber Rock, as Jamie Richards discovered...

 Yes, that's right, tomorrow sees the first of this year's 13 days of Halloween as Uber Rock once again collars a bunch of horror-obsessed rock 'n' rollers and tortures them until they answer a devil's dozen of twisted questions about all things spooky. But this year things are a little different - read on to find out how.....

 How the hell could we ever follow our immensely popular feature on Glam/Hair Metal bands? We'd been racking our brains for weeks at URHQ for new ideas when the answer was staring us in the face all along. Rich Hobson was the man with the uber cool plan, and that plan involves a feature that we guarantee will include not one wind swept over produced power ballad video. Ladies & Gentlemen we proudly present - The Bands That Killed Hair Metal

 Now these are the DVDs we like here at Über Röck, apart from the Lord Of The Ring trilogy obviously. Dom Daley looks at the classic rock 'n' roll story of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, specifically the period of 1971 to 1973, on a shiny disc full of grain but also fascinating insights on a trio of true music legends......

 Saturday 25th September marked 10 years to the day since Bubblegum Slut began life in print. The fanzine covering all things alternative first aired in Essex, but 10 years later and a recent location change to the metropolis next door and the zine's creator Alison B has organised a birthday celebration at The Gaff on Holloway Road. Being a happy reader of the pages of the fur-covered mag Craggy was not going to miss the party.
