 Back in the UK for a short series of dates recently, Corrosion Of Conformity were playing their classic 'Animosity' album in full plus loads of their early hardcore material. So nothing was going to stop Darrel Sutton getting in the pit at their recent London show with what seemed to be the United Nations of the hardcore world and having the time of his life.

 Standing legs akimbo with his head banging furiously, Darrel Sutton was like a man possessed when he recently caught up with two of his favourite new/old school heavy metal bands in the live setting, namely the excellent Bullet and Enforcer. But wait a minute, Camden Underworld was hiding a third band on the bill tonight and boy was Sutton in for a heavy metal surprise...

 Seventeen years? Is it really that long since Wolfsbane played a headline show? Incredibly, it is. Actually, was. That's because the band made their return as headliners just over a week ago at a cramped Borderline rammed to the max with howlin' mad shitheads, including Uber Rock's Matt Phelps standing right at the front screaming every word back at Blaze Bayley. Read on for his loco lowdown and photographic proof......

 Not content with releasing one of the year's best albums in 'Sensory Overdrive' Michael Monroe is out on the road here in the UK playing a proper 13 date tour in support of it. Nev Brooks went along to the Bristol show at the intimate O2 Academy 2, and asks the question "where were you fuckers?"

 "Pontypool changes everything" wrote Tony Burgess and, over two decades ago, I would have had to agree. How did a small town gig by Ricky Warwick bring back memories of infamous snow on the roof, metal-fused teen rebellion and avian excrement? Read on to find out....

 Sorry and the Sinatras return with Rich Jones on guitar and a gig behind Über Röck statelines that promises to check all of our rock boxes. With support from the highly-rated Obsessive Compulsive and a bunch of unknown gobbers, this night had the opportunity to take us higher than Whitney Houston.....

 Here's a fact for you - Matt Phelps loved Thunder more than John Candy loved cake. With former Thunder six stringer Luke Morley's new band The Union touring the UK there was only one Über Röcker who could write a live review and do them justice....

 Tigertailz return to their roots with a Cardiff club gig in aid of the Amser Justin Time charity, formed by the wife of the legendary Pepsi Tate. If that wasn't reason enough for preening punters to part with their hard-earned, there was the small matter of the debut of new bassist Sarah Firebrand.......

 How many great gigs can you squeeze into seven days? Johnny H desperately tries to break his own record as hot on the heels of Michael Monroe's debut UK blow out, he catches Jim Jones Revue's first ever Welsh date...So what's all this about a stewards enquiry at ÜRHQ? Jesus guys, it's only Rock 'N' Roll after all.

 The day before a certain gathering of shape-shifting lizards in the capital, plans were being made in a cool Bristol venue - plans to Burn 'em All. Matt Phelps pulled on his turquoise shellsuit and headed into The Fleece to indulge in a night of old school punk rock, headlined by the legendary Anti-Nowhere League.

 Whilst most of us were still rocking to the prospect of working for a website by the name of Uber AOR, Mark Taylor was deep in a crypt in London's Electric Ballroom watching the band most of us would loved to have seen on their Dark Decadence Tour. The 69 Eyes were back in the UK's capital city and ready for your blood.

 They rode into town like all conquering musical desperadoes and David Whistance was there to catch all the action, as two of the UK's brightest new bands, namely Black Spiders and Slaves To Gravity lay waste to Cardiff one humid evening not so very long ago.

 Over the last decade or so South Wales really has been a hotbed for musical talent, producing some truly great bands along the way. We asked Rob Watkins to check out two of the new breed, along with a band from Hampshire at an all-new venue in the birthplace of Nye Bevan's country-changing politics.... oh how topical.

 Like New York Dolls need an introduction. Fraser Munro danced like a monkey into the only UK date of a brief European tour by the legendary act at Koko in London and witnessed a good performance from the band......but was it good enough?

 'The Day The Country Died' is not only a legendary album, it's also the soundtrack to the youth of most of tonight's audience. Anarcho-Punk legends Subhumans visit a place dear to their hearts, the South Wales valleys, and our man Darrel Sutton is there.....caught in a mosh.

 Generation Graveyard list The Dead Boys and GG Allin amongst their influences, so of course we're immediately interested in them, and what better way to sample them than in the raw, up close and sweaty, in a packed out club. Tazz Stander picks up the pieces at the scene of one Über Röcker's broken dreams.

 Two hundred miles from home and twenty four hours previous he was out of his brain on a train from London. Über Röck's Johnny H enjoys the sea and sand of Brighton as he ventures into the realms of seated gigs to catch this year's reunion hot ticket gig, Bad Company.

 It might only be April but we are all pretty much convinced that we saw the gig of the year in London last week. Michael Monroe's new band threatened to be awesome but, guess what, they were better than that. Dom Daley was given the task of getting all the greatness down in word form and he just about manages it!

Gig Reviews 
London's Borderline club has seen a glut of great Seventies influenced rock bands playing there recently, but it was the appearance of Gothenburg's Graveyard that had Jim Rowland donning his best flared jeans and splashing on the patchouli oil ready for the UK live premiere of the band's second album 'Hisingen Blues'. What followed was something that could only have been described as "cosmic man".
