 The album 'Stakk Attakk' might not mean a lot to your average Uber Rocker here in 2012, but back in the early eighties, this seminal album from UK glam titans Wrathchild pretty much sound tracked our teenage (revolution) years. Johnny H caught up with the band's bassist Marc Angel recently to find out all about their new album 'Stakkattakktwo' and why in their eyes the band has never really been away.

 The name Johnny Bennett might not be familiar to you but, with a new record deal and an album compiling the best tunes from his two self released records in the bag, that could be about to change. Jamie Richards was so impressed when he reviewed Johnny's last platter that mattered that he had to catch up with the US rocker while he hung out in Nashville to find out about his future plans.

 As The Quireboys headed to Cardiff for a pre-Xmas show, Dom Daley headed into the inner sanctum of The Globe venue for a chat with vocalist Spike, only to find that the frontman was under the weather and his place on the couch had been taken by guitarist Guy Griffin. Luckily, our intrepid reporter had a slew of Griff facts in his locker and, perhaps unluckily for the substitute six-stringer, the photographs to prove it......

 When Dave Prince first interviewed UK melodic rock outfit Serpentine back in March 2010 things were certainly looking on the up for the bright young stars of the UK AOR scene. They, at the time, had scene legend Tony Mills as their singer and were receiving rave reviews for their debut album. Twenty months on and one major health scare later they have a new singer and a new album that everyone is once again raving about. Princey picks up the story regarding what happened next for the band with their keyboard player Gareth Noon.

 As 2011 draws to an exciting conclusion, Darrel Sutton is all about one event in 2012, and no it doesn't involve a royal living another year or some overrated school sports day occurring in N.E. London. Nah he's buzzing with the prospect of Nasum reforming to celebrate their 20th anniversary albeit of course without their sadly deceased frontman Mieszko Talarczyk. So who better than the band's drummer Anders Jakobsen to fill our anxious scribe in on what to expect?

 When Rich Jones of The Loyalties pointed Uber Rock in the direction of 'Rock N' Roll Must Be Destroyed', the long lost album from US glam punks Flash Bastard, little we know that we would suddenly be listening to one of the most badass releases of 2011. And if the record wasn't cool enough in itself, then the band's history will certainly make you sit up and take notice; signed to Nikki Sixx's record label and kicked off a Motley Crue/Scorpions tour for threatening to kill Klaus Meine with a pitchfork? This is yet another must-read UR interview exclusive as Ben Hughes catches up with the band's frontman Donal Finn......

 There aren't many places on Uber Rock where you will find references to Marcie Free, Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne other than in a Dave Prince written feature. Somehow he manages to get all three singers mentioned in this rather wonderful chat with Scandinavian AOR sensation Issa and what's more he bags us some awesome signed copies of her album 'The Storm' to give away to you lucky people.

 Just a few short hours before Ginger was due to take to the stage at last month's Hard Rock Hell V festival Dom Daley cornered the man himself in a swanky holiday camp chalet to ask him everything from his new triple album project to the future of The Wildhearts, taking in the problematic Singles Club and his departure from Michael Monroe's band along the way.

 This time last year URHQ was buzzing at the prospect of us not only interviewing the king of L.A. shock rock Mr Lizzy Borden, but also seeing his band perform live at the fourth annual Hard Rock Hell festival here in the UK. Thanks to a series of (hopefully) once in a lifetime events we needed up getting neither - to say we were gutted would be an understatement. Thankfully Lizzy Borden are back for this year's HRH and John Oakley picked up the phone recently to get the whole story regarding what went down direct from guitarist AC Alexander.
