 Post apocalyptic rock may be an easy thing to imagine (if not say) in 2011, but back in 1985 one band from the UK was blazing a trail of crazy motorcycle tyre tracks both sides of the Atlantic as they tried to reach the big time. Rogue Male was the name of the band and Mark Taylor caught up with them recently to see how their second quest for world domination was taking shape.

 We received an email recently from ex-Venom drummer Antton Lant telling us all about his new band Def-Con-One, which he claimed played powerful, groove fuelled metal of the heaviest order, and ever the fanboys we have to admit we were just a little bit excited by the sound of this. So excited, that we asked Mark Ashby to catch up with Antton to find out all about his band's debut album and get the low down on one or two of his ex bandmates.
